Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Confirming this will fit my Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S Lens (Z6 II)?

A: The Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70 F/4 S Lens has a 72mm filter thread, and as such, will be compatible with the Tiffen 72mm UV Protector Filter.

Q: 2. With the wide angle version, can you still put your lens cap on while this filter is on the lens, or would you have to take it off to apply the lens cap?

A: You may be able to use it with a lens cap but it's entirely dependent on how the lens cap is designed and how it attaches.

Q: 3. 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: 4. 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: 5. 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: 6. Do this product fits with a Canon 70-200 mm f/2.8L USM lens?If not what size should I choose?

A: Canon specifies a 77mm Filter Thread Diameter - so this Tiffen filter will fit.

Q: 7. 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: 8. What does it mean by coarse thread in the description ?

A: Coarse thread denotes the pitch of the thread. Most 95mm threads are Coarse thread with a 1.0 pitch.

Q: 9. does the filter come with a carrying case or it just a filter in a box?

A: Yes, it comes in a case.

Q: 10. Will this fit a kit lens for a Canon 80D? It is a 18-135. The 67mm lines up, I just want to make sure the thread is correct.

A: This filter will fit any lens with a 67mm filter thread diameter. Please check the specifications of your lens, or look on your lens (usually near the end) for the filter thread diameter. It is usually marked with a # and a circle with a slash through it, the sign for diameter. The # is your thread diameter.

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

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

[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.

[3.5 x 3 x 0.65"] 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] 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.

[3.5 x 3 x 0.65"] 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!

[0.12 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.

[58 mm] 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] 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!
