Responding to the demands of cinematographers, this 72mm Black Glimmerglass Camera Filter from Tiffen features a grade 1/2 density and is designed to take the crisp edges off the images that modern lenses and digital cameras produce. The filter subtly softens the image and lowers detail resolution for those who want to simulate the look of film footage while shooting on digital gear. This black Glimmerglass model reduces contrast and overall sharpness and can smooth out unwanted blemishes, wrinkles, or other fine details in a subject's face while keeping the general image in focus. Manufactured using ColorCore technology, the filter is designed to be accurate in its effect and to produce consistent results.

Q: 5. Does this cover affect the ability to quickly put filters on and off?

A: The bumper can be mounted atop filters, and also has filter threads on its outside to further mount filters to. If you mount filters on the lens before it, and wanted to swap them, it would require you remove the bumper also. A UV protection filter would be good to have on before the bumper because that is one you'd likely be leaving on all the time. If you were going to use temporary filters you could thereby easily mount them to the outside of the bumper.
