Glimmerglass is a line of diffusion filters that produces a soft clean halation around practical and specular light sources, while keeping an apparent sharpness on the overall image. When production starts and people see the 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.

While they all diffuse light, they are not all the same and do it in their own way and the use-case will vary pretty significantly. In addition to modifying the appearance of the image itself, this filter also brings a sort of sparkling appearance when viewed from the front.Could the lower contrast be useful if you are shooting in high dynamic range situations, I think so.

The Tiffen Glimmerglass Filter is a diffusion/beauty filter designed to produce a more flaterring image for skin tones in particular for close-ups and portraits. Pros – Adds a diffusion effect that’s not as obvious as other types of diffusion filters, the diffusion has a nice depth to it.

At night, it’s a little bit too uncontrolled and you get a lot more of various types of reflective artifacts that you have to shoot around. Notice how the direct light affects diffusion filters a lot, especially Cinebloom that completely spreads out the highlights over a big area. This set of filters allows much more subtle diffusion whilst cutting back on flare and diminishing loss of contrast, maintaining sharpness across the image where it is needed.
