The 52mm Tiffen Glimmerglass Filter 52mm Grade 1/8from Tiffen Glimmerglass Filter 52mm Grade 1/8is a beauty filter whose function is two-fold: in addition to modifying the appearance of the image itself, it also features a sparkling appearance when viewed from the front, instilling more confidence in the model. The filter itself helps soften skin details, blemishes, and wrinkles. It also produces glowing highlights and a mild reduction in contrast for a more ethereal appearance. The grade 1/8 diffusion provides a minimal amount of softening and overall image alteration.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting it onto precision metal rings.

[52 mm] The Glimmerglass 1/2 is nice. The sharp edges are reduced but I still have detail. And being able to quickly pop off the filter for certain shots is awesome!

[Aluminum] I don't usually use filters but I stumble upon a youtube video and was curious how they achieved the hazy look I was trying to achieve. I figured it was all done in post (which you can, albeit with varying results). So after Googlin' and researching I came across this specific filter. I should have prefaced that I mainly shoot images and occasional video.


The filtration is subtle (had to compare images taken under the same condition, see attached) but noticeable. This for sure will stay on my lens permanently!! GORGEOUS FILTER!

[Aluminum] Great filter to give some softness to the highlights without intense halation

[0.105 lb] I was looking for a filter that would bloom the highlights and practical light sources without decreasing the overall contrast of the image, and I think this was just the filter I wanted. Compared to Black Pro Mist and especially Cinebloom, the shadow levels and sharpness are maintained with this filter. The diffusion is just enough for me. To me, it seems it blooms the highlights and light sources just enough to look like my image was shot on film, but without being too dramatic or noticeable. I think if I were going for a more dreamy look, I'd go with a higher Glimmerglass strength or use something like Cinebloom.

[52 mm] Was looking for a diffusion filter for my tcl-x100 to give my portraits back some of that softer feel I used to get when shooting on film. This does the job to perfection, retains sharpness, softens highlights, reduces contrast. Plent of videos online demonstrating the effect but you can take my word for it, it's an awesome filter!

[0.105 lb] Tiffen Filters are always the best when it comes to build quality, reliability and options they provide. I am super happy with my 2 Set of Glimmerglass!!:) They make the image naturally gloomy without washing out the entire scene.

Also B&H did a perfect job on shipping and customer contact! I live in Germany and my package arrived only 4 days after my order was placed. Thanks, you guts are the best!

[52 mm] Any time I decide on diffusion filters, the biggest considerations for me are the strength of halation and the amount of contrast I'm looking for. I usually default to Hollywood Black Magic as my standard diffusion filter. When I want something stronger and a big more vintage feeling I'll reach for Black Pro Mist. When I want something much more subtle, I'll go for Glimmerglass because the halation is under much better control than the other two. I usually aim for a 1 strength when I want to see the effect. Even then, it doesn't feel too strong.
