Tiffen 4x5.650 Glimmer Glass 5 Filter

Tiffen's Glimmerglass 5 Filter

The First Filter Series With a “Psychological Edge”

A new series of Diffusion filters, seems to support the theory that when you “look good”, you “feel good.” People always want to look their best. And they want to look even better in pictures. Here’s another way Tiffen makes that happen. Redefining filters, the Glimmerglass softens fine details in a unique manner, while adding a mild glow to highlights. As contrast is also reduced, the look is one of enhanced beauty.

A first in this field

This filter is both effective to look at as well as to look through. The glass itself has a distinct silver ‘sparkle,’ which has been found to be doubly useful. When production starts and people see the filter glittering on the front of the lens, they become more confident in the knowledge that the filter is working for them and they may also turn in a better performance. 

Glimmerglass filters are available in grades 1-5

Available in many standard professional motion picture and television sizes, as well as screw-in sizes in 49mm to 82mm. The effect of the lighter grades is subtle, with the higher grades becoming gradually more noticeable, all capable of providing a beautiful image.
