Tiffen Glimmerglass Filter (77mm, Grade 1/4)

The Tiffen Glimmerglass Filter (77mm, Grade 1/4) is a beauty filter whose function is two-fold: in addition to modifying the appearance of the image itself, it also features a sparkling appearance when viewed from the front, instilling more confidence in the model. The filter itself helps soften skin details, blemishes, and wrinkles. It also produces glowing highlights and a mild reduction in contrast for a more ethereal appearance. The grade 1/4 diffusion provides a close to minimal amount of softening and overall image alteration. This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting it onto precision metal rings. Produces glowing highlights and a slight reduction in contrast for a more ethereal image appearance. Helps soften skin details, blemishes, and wrinkles.
