FAQs:
What is the difference between the 1/2 filter and the 2 versions?
The 1/2 strength Glimmerglass filter offers moderate diffusion, softening highlights and reducing contrast while retaining detail—ideal for beauty work, interviews, and natural-looking cinematic visuals. The 2 strength produces a much more pronounced effect, with stronger halation around light sources and greater softening of facial features. It’s better suited for stylised shoots or situations where users want a dramatic, glowing aesthetic. Both versions feature complete Variable ND control.
What other filters are in Tiffen’s Fusion range?
Tiffen’s Fusion range includes FusionPOL and FusionVND filters, which combine its popular diffusion effects with added light control. FusionPOL merges either Black Pro-Mist or Glimmerglass diffusion with a Circular Polariser. FusionVND filters combine the same diffusion options with Variable ND functionality, offering up to 8 stops of light reduction. Both lines are available in multiple strengths and sizes.
