In my experience in order to see significant difference between the two you need to shoot in low light or at night with distinct points of light rather than already diffused ambient sunlight. Glimmerglass does a good job diffusing points of light and dropping the contrast slightly while not significantly affecting the rest of the image. Black Pro Mist adds a haze to the whole image and has much less contrast. But honestly if you're shooting digital you can recreate the Glimmerglass effect in Gimp/Photoshop by lowering the contrast a touch in combination with the "Bloom" filter effect. It gives you a cleaner starting image and more precise control over the diffusion effect. Often I find that the effect is too strong or too weak and that means buying another filter then changing that filter while out shooting, which I find annoying. Black Pro Mist is the one I would buy as there is no easy way (that I know of) to recreate the effect digitally. Keep in mind also that the effective focal length of your lens also plays a big part in how strong the effect is and as you zoom in more you need a stronger diffusion to get the same result.
I really love the fact that you shoot ur videos on 30fps or 60fps, the 4by3 ratio, the colors, and the art direction in general, it really gives the vibe of a 90s video
Yoo how good does the colour look in this vid?! I'm trying out Dehancer for Final Cut Pro, lemme know if you're rocking with it or not! (also shoutout my sister for killing the modelling)
It's lookin super, I am using Dehancer for stills in photoshop, been looking to help the plugin by getting a diffusion filter, this video was of great help!
I think it is very very nice indeed, which settings do you use? Film and print? Did you add any blooming or halation or that is exclusively from the glimmer glass?
I'm quite surprised with the warm, yellowish tint the black pro mist was leaving on your images since other reviewers were showing it to have no color effect on their images. Not a critique. Just an observation. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the comparison! I'm trying to decide on my first filter to go along with my S5IIX and BMPCC6KG2. I think the reason these are so similar is that you are already shooting on film. Most of the time I see these marketed as a way to take a digital image and make it more "filmic." Other examples I've watched have a more pronounced effect on highlights, but your highlights are already softened by the film.
I know this video is a year old but I want to buy the glimmer glass but I’m unsure on the density levels. Which is stronger between the 1 and the 1/4? Thanks in advance.

Glimmer glass comes in 1/4,1/2, 1, 2 and 3. Black Pro Mist is avail in 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2.
Glimmer glass hit me so hard! never tried but wanna try now! Thanks for the hardwork content!!
Def have a look into it!
Thanks for this! Just picked up the glimmer glass filter myself.
awesome!
I'm still using it to this day haha
So just confirmed that the glimmer glass is the 1 density version as there are 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 versions also
insane quality as always
Appreciate your support as always
Your videos are next level bro!
Mitch!!
Thank you man, coming from you it means a lot
hey can i know how you’re getting that cinestill red halation on your footage?
Great vid thank youuu! I’m gonna go ahead and buy a glimmer glass now (for video).
Thanks for the clear and concise video comparing the 2 lenses. Really helpful on making a decision on which to buy.
If it helped that's awesome!
No problem ☺
😍😍😍
fire as always bro
Thanks!
Could you please make a tutorial for your camera settings? Also a Fuji user here☝🏼
I've moved to Sony recently!
Sorry hahahah I don't have a Fuji camera to talk about anymore ~
Binging your videos feel the same as a hq netflix mini series
Nice! How did you get the halation effect btw?
Thanks mate!
I know this video is a year old but I want to buy the glimmer glass but I’m unsure on the density levels. Which is stronger between the 1 and the 1/4? Thanks in advance.
the 1 is stronger
Good vid.
Great video man! Whoever I’m in doubt about buying glimmerglass 1 and glimmerglass 3 … any advice?
ahh thank you
I think 1 is good for just elevating your footage slightly, 3 is definitely stylistic & would look great if that 's your intention
Nice video! Thanks!
You're welcome Olexandr! Thank you for watching
It’s awesome watching u drink…
