Tiffen Glimmerglass in 4 × 5.65″ for matte box in 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 strengths. The filter creates a soft halo around practical lights and reflections, slightly reduces contrast and mutes bright colors, while keeping apparent sharpness.
The selected grade lets you dose the effect from subtle to pronounced; halation stays controlled even at higher densities. The filter is especially popular for beauty and detail shots. We recommend a test with the specific lens and light.
