4x4" Glimmerglass 2 Diffusion Filter

The Tiffen 4x4" Glimmerglass 2 Diffusion Filter is a camera accessory built for photographers and cinematographers who want a signature ethereal look. It softens skin details and reduces the appearance of blemishes while creating glowing highlights. The 2 density rating provides a balanced level of diffusion that retains subject detail. It is designed to integrate with professional camera systems using standard 4x4 inch filter trays or matte boxes.

ColorCore precision-laminated substrate

The filter uses Tiffen's ColorCore technology, laminating the substrate between two pieces of optical glass. This process holds flatness to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch for consistent optical clarity. The construction is designed to withstand frequent use in diverse shooting conditions. No electronic interface or protocol is involved; the filter functions purely through its optical properties.

2 density rating for balanced diffusion

The Glimmerglass 2 density offers more softening than the Glimmerglass 1 while retaining more detail than higher densities. It comfortably handles portrait and close-up work where a flattering, dreamlike quality is desired. It runs out when a scene requires maximum contrast or completely unaltered sharpness, or when a stronger diffusion effect is needed for a heavier stylistic look.
