The 105mm Glimmerglass Grade 2 Filter from Tiffen is a beauty filter whose function is two-fold: in addition to modifying the appearance of the image itself, it also features a sparkling appearance when viewed from the front, instilling more confidence in the model. The filter itself helps soften skin details, blemishes, and wrinkles. It also produces glowing highlights and a mild reduction in contrast for a more ethereal appearance. The grade 2 diffusion provides a subtle amount of softening and overall image alteration.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting it onto precision metal rings.

Q: 5. I'm looking for an action video lens. I have two decent manual focus, but I need something that I can trust the a6500's auto focus to handle. Will this lens suffice? Or should I up the price and go to the 1000$18-200?

A: This lens is perfect for almost any application. I have a youtube channel and I use it exclusivly with my a6300. The range is perfect for a wide range of shots. Remember its an f4, so for darker scenes, up the ISO, or, lower the shutter speed to about 70/80. The AUTOFOCUS IS BEAST!!!!. Just make sure you turn it off for interviews, as you don't want it to hunt or look for other things to focus on. This effect is called Breathing where it looks like the lens is hunting in and out.

Q: 10. I have the Sony Alpha remote control. With this being a power zoom lens, can I zoom in and zoom out using the remote control? Thanks! I'll be using it with a6300 camera.

A: With this lens on my Sony A6000, the Sony Wireless Remote (RMT-DSLR2) does not zoom the lens. The control rocker button you think would just zooms in/out when viewing an image already taken. The mobile device remote control application from Sony does allow lens zooming but only in a very slow mode.
