Two signature effects in one filter

The Tiffen Glimmerglass 2 Variable Neutral Density Filter combines two of the brand’s most distinctive technologies: subtle, glowing Glimmerglass diffusion and advanced variable ND control. Designed as part of the FusionPOL series, it offers professionals a way to soften facial features and introduce a gentle sparkle while reducing glare and enhancing colour for clean, vivid in-camera results.

Radiant diffusion for polished, cinematic results

At strength 2, Glimmerglass diffusion creates bold halation around highlights and a visibly softened image. Facial features appear smoother, and light sources have a glowing, dream-like quality. This makes it well-suited to stylised productions, music videos, or commercial shoots where a high-impact visual signature is required.

Variable ND for exposure and depth control

Integrated VND functionality offers up to 8 stops of light reduction, enabling wide apertures in bright conditions or slower shutter speeds to introduce motion blur. This integration makes it especially useful for video capture, long exposure photography, or any scenario requiring precise exposure adjustments without changing your aperture or ISO.

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 include full circular polariser functionality.

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.
