Q: 3. 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: 4. I have a canon 60D with a 18-135mm lens. Would this be the proper filter size for my lens? Thanks.

A: The Canon 18-135mm lens has a 67mm diameter. So it uses 67mm filters. Here is the 67mm equivalent:http://bhpho.to/1fXHRKv

Q: 5. does the filter come with a carrying case or it just a filter in a box?

A: Yes, it comes in a case.

Q: 6. Is this fit on the fujifilm x100f lens?

A: It will fit with adapter # 16144559

Q: 7. what's the difference between the coarse thread compared to the normal ones?

A: Coarse threads screw on and off faster than the normal ones. However, you need to make sure that your filter holder is threaded correctly. I live in Clearwater Fl., which is fairly sandy. If I used fine threaded filters, and got a grain of sand in the threads there is a good chance the threads would be stripped because of the thinness of the metal in the threading. While the coarse thread filters can also be stripped, I have yet to ruin one. For me, its just a personal choice, but I make sure all of my filters are compatible. I also have put filter adapter rings on all of my lenses to make them all take 77mm filters and lens caps. I have 8 lenses (including an 80-400mm Nikon Zoom and my largest diameter is 77mm so I took all of my lenses to that size. It eliminates purchasing duplicate filters in multiple sizes and makes all of my lens caps fit all of my lenses.

Q: 8. will this filter touch the glasson canon 16-35mm f4lis usm lens ?

A: We cannot test with every single lens available on the market, however when using this same lens in f/2.8 we had no issues.

Q: 9. I am looking for filters for my sigma 30mm lens

A: The Sigma 30mm lens takes a 52mm filter, if you are looking for a polarizer, click on the link below to view your choices; https://bhpho.to/31vwmK7 Hoya and B+W are among the better brands.

Q: 10. Is the glass element removable? Is it held in with glue, or a screw-type locking ring or c-clip?

A: No, the glass is not designed to be removed. It is enclosed by the specifically sized aluminum frame.

[Aluminum] 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.

[Glass] Works well so far, and is less obscene than even 1/4 black pro mist can be. And price is fair. Now why do these filters cost 500% more in rectangular shape?

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

[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.

[Glass] 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!

[Glass] 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!

[Aluminum] 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 !

[Aluminum] 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.
