The 86mm Glimmerglass Grade 3 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 3 diffusion provides a moderate 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: 7. I was wondering if I can use the 24-240mm lens on this camera until I can afford to purchase the 2.8 24-70mm lens to go with this camera. I am going to purchase the new Sony A9 camera and the cost of the camera and that 2.8 24-70mm lens is a little bit beyond my budget right now. So I thought I would purchase the 24-240mm lens instead for now because of the lower cost and I thought that it would be nice to have that extra reach. but I know that the 2.8 24-70mm lens is a faster lens which is better for low light photography. Thank You!

A: I use the 24-240 as a daily use lens, it does a great job and it's not too cumbersome to use all day - for landscape and some nearby wildlife.
