Glimmerglass® & Bronze Glimmerglass® Filters

The First Filter Series With a

“Psychological Edge”.

The introduction of the Glimmerglass filter, 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.

The Glimmerglass is the first series of filters with a “psychological edge.” A new type of filter, 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 is the fact that the 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 pro- duction starts and people see the filter glittering on the front of the lens, they become more confident in the knowl- edge that the filter is working for them and they may also turn in a better per- formance.

Bronze Glimmerglass filters are a variation of the Glimmerglass filter, with the addition of a bronze color. These filters add warmth to skin tones and scenics and have some effect on contrast. Bronze is a new Tiffen color and lends itself to numerous opportuni- ties for creative effects.

The effect of the lighter grades is sub- tle, with the higher grades becoming gradually more noticeable, all capable of providing a beautiful image.

Glimmerglass filters are available in grades 1-5 in many standard profes- sional motion picture and television sizes, as well as screw-in sizes in 52mm to 82mm.

Glimmerglass & Bronze Glimmerglass Filters specifications

Tiffen Glimmerglass and Bronze Glimmerglass Filters are renowned tools in the world of cinematography, offering filmmakers a unique way to enhance their visual storytelling. These specialized filters are designed to soften images while imparting a subtle glow, making them ideal for portraiture, beauty shots, and dreamy scenes. Both variants are crafted to elevate image quality while preserving the overall integrity of the visual content.

The main feature of the Glimmerglass filter is its ability to create a soft, ethereal quality in images. This effect is achieved through a special coating that diffuses light without losing clarity in the focal areas. The filters are designed to produce a soft-focus effect in highlights, which helps to create a pleasing disposition on skin tones and can lend a filmic quality to cinematic productions. This makes Tiffen filters essential for beauty shots in fashion photography or romantic scenes in film, where a gentle touch can enhance emotional depth.

On the other hand, the Bronze Glimmerglass filter takes this concept a step further. It not only softens images but also adds a warm, golden tint to the highlights. This is particularly beneficial for creating an inviting atmosphere, often sought after in films that aim for a nostalgic or vintage feel. The bronze finish helps to balance out harsh lighting conditions and can be particularly effective in outdoor settings where natural light can overpower softer tones.

Both the standard and bronze filters incorporate advanced optical technology to ensure minimal color cast and maximum light transmission. This makes them compatible with a variety of camera systems. Tiffen has used high-quality glass to manufacture these filters, which also preserves the integrity of the colors in the original image. Additionally, these filters are available in various sizes, making them versatile enough to fit different lenses.

In summary, Tiffen Glimmerglass and Bronze Glimmerglass Filters are essential tools for cinematographers and photographers alike. Their ability to soften images while adding a touch of warmth and glow makes them invaluable in crafting visually stunning content. With advanced optical technology and quality construction, these filters enhance creativity, allowing artists to push the boundaries of visual storytelling.
