Responding to the demands of cinematographers, this 52mm Tiffen Black Glimmerglass Camera Filter 52mm Grade 1/8from Tiffen Black Glimmerglass Camera Filter 52mm Grade 1/8features a grade 1/8 density and is designed to take the crisp edges off the images that modern lenses and digital cameras produce. The filter subtly softens the image and lowers detail resolution for those who want to simulate the look of film footage while shooting on digital gear. This black Glimmerglass model reduces contrast and overall sharpness and can smooth out unwanted blemishes, wrinkles, or other fine details in a subject's face while keeping the general image in focus. Manufactured using ColorCore technology, the filter is designed to be accurate in its effect and to produce consistent results.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this filter fit the canon 50 mm lens

A: The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens will accept a 49mm Tiffen UV Filter.

Q: 2. Is this fit on the fujifilm x100f lens?

A: It will fit with adapter # 16144559

Q: 3. Is this the proper size filter for my Nikon D3100 with a 18-55mm lens?

A: Yes it is the proper size filter.

Q: 4. I am considering the purchase of a Sigma 150-500mm lens for a Canon 7D. Is the thread on this filter compatible to the above-mentioned lens? Thanks.JH

A: No, it would not. The Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM APO Autofocus Lens for Canon EOS uses 86mm filters, not 82mm filters. The Tiffen 86mm (Coarse Thread) Circular Polarizing Filter, B&H # TICP86C, would be the filter for your stated lens.

Q: 5. How thick is the glass of a Tiffen 82 mm polarizing filter?

A: No way to tell with out disassembling the unit. Generally filters can range between 4mm and 7mm. I estimate this glass to be approximately 4mm thick.

Q: 6. i need to buy a 77mm uv filter for a Tokina 11-16mm pro dx-II lens can I use a regular 77mm uv filter or do I need to buy the wide angle thin one for the wide angle lens. I know there a big difference in the prices. which one do I need to buy?

A: One doesn't need UV protection for a digital sensor. A good clear filter works well. (Nikon, B&W, e.g.)

Q: 7. Does it have thread on the outer side to stack-mount say an ТВ filter on top of that UV?

A: Yes, this filter has front threads.

Q: 8. Can I use both this filter and a hood?

A: Yep

Q: 9. I would like to get this filter but don't know if it will fit my lens. It is a Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4.5-5.6G lens. How do I know the size I need?

A: The Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4.5-5.6G lens takes a 67mm filter. That's a good filter but you will need the 67mm version.

Q: 10. does the filter come with a carrying case or it just a filter in a box?

A: Yes, it comes in a case.

[Aluminum] 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. 5

[52 mm] So I have used the GlimmerGlass series a lot as a large matte-box filter on the cinema cameras. But sometimes I go and shoot inserts on a lighter setup with my FX6 and a Zoom lens. For that purpose this filter is absolutely perfect. If the 1/2, 3/4 and 1/4 become available as 82mm filters I will purchase them. 5

[Glass] Lots of reviews suggest the 1/8 for a more 'filmic look but I found that I needed the 1/4 strength to get that effect. Note that focal length and the quality of the light itself will impact the outcome. A note regarding the GG1: This provides a very noticeable effect in most cases. Maybe a tad too much for everyday use. Tiffen needs a magical filter that works on the jpeg but leaves the raw alone ! 5

[Aluminum] Great diffusion filter that adds soft contrast to take off the digital edge while retaining sharpness. Would highly recommend over other diffusion filters. 5

[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! 5

[52 mm] 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. 5
