The Tiffen 4 x 5" Glimmerglass 3 Filter 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 to soften skin details, blemishes, and wrinkles. It also produces glowing highlights and a mild reduction in contrast for a more ethereal appearance. The 3 density provides more softening than the 2, but less than the 4.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 4 x 5" / 101.6 x 127mm.

Q: 4. Is there a one to one comparison of this lens vs the Sigma 150-600mm f/5.6-6.3 somewhere on B&H (i.e. actual users who have experience with both lenses, rather than online detailed technical reviews)?

A: Not really, no. While each lens has a Reviews tab where customers who own the lens in question may post their review or experience with the lens, we do not have a side-by-side comparison from customers, and most people do not purchase both lenses. If you wish, you may purchase the lenses to do you own comparison, or you may use a rental website such as a href= http://lensrentels.com target= _blank lensrentels.com/a to see if they have both options available. Otherwise, you would have to use Google to search for reviews from users who have used both lenses, but we have no one spot on our website designed for this usage other than the Reviews tab on the lens' webpage.

Q: 7. Focus lag / performance?I had originally planned on getting this lens when I sold my Tamron 200-500mm last year. The focus performance on that lens was not good and I was hoping the new Tamron would be a better performer. I've read a lot that in anything other than bright sunlight that the new Tamron does not perform well acquiring focus.What is your experience with this lens? are you happy with it? why or why not?I'll be using a D7200.I have been leaning toward the Sigma 150-600mm Sport version. I'm confident that it is well built and a great performer but its twice the price and a lot heavier.If you've used both lenses please let me know your thoughts.Thank you,Steve
