Tiffen 49GG1 49mm Glimmer Glass 1 Filter

Product Information

Glimmer Glass filters also have the advantage that when viewed from the subject’s perspective, the filter appears to be sparkling, which can help to instil confidence in models, resulting in a potentially better performance. But, I personally like using the two filters in these two different situations, Glimmer Glass for day, Black Pro Mist for night – with street photography anyway. Instead, Glimmer Glass is about getting a look in-camera without extra editing beyond a white balance shift, exposure adjustment, or a film simulation change. Tiffen Black Pro-Mist 1/4 is in the middle when it comes to bloom effect and pulling down highlight/shadow contrast.

I covered diffusion filters in the past in my review of the Tiffen Black Pro-Mist filter, I recommend that you check it out first for more basics on diffusion filters.Consenting to these technologies will allow us to process data such as browsing behavior or unique IDs on this site. Because Tiffen Glimmer Glass has these sparkles on the front of the lens, they add little specular highlights.

In the day you’re dealing mostly with sunlight and reflected light, and the blooming effect of the Glimmer Glass has a really nice quality filling the frame with a misty effect that really takes some of the hard edges off of the lighting giving it an almost filmmick look.

The Black Pro-Mist filter and other black mist filters have what look like little black particles in them. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. 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. Tiffen Glimmer Glass 1 is the least extreme filter, it gives a small amount of bloom and pulls down highlight contrast slightly, but shadows seems to be the same.

Pros – Adds a diffusion effect that’s not as obvious as other types of diffusion filters, the diffusion has a nice depth to it. 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.So, don’t expect Tiffen Glimmer Glass to be a magical panacea that will take every photo and elevate it to Pulitzer-winning.
