The hazy look achieved by this filter is unparalleled when compared to any edits you do in post-production.

You’ll less likely to get dreamy effects on film cameras if didn’t expose your film properly or have bad lighting around you. CineBloom Diffusion Filters create a beautiful hazy glow around light sources and lit subjects, creating a unique cinematic style straight out of the camera. I would like to point out that it does not have a blatantly and vulgarly widespread effect, but visible without attracting attention. The Moment 72mm CineBloom Diffusion Filter counteracts the clinical, ultra-sharp look of digital photography by catching and blooming light. Consenting to these technologies will allow us to process data such as browsing behavior or unique IDs on this site.Imported Japanese AGC optical glass with double-side polishing technology ensures high definite image quality. The imperfection that grain and blacks have in film photography, is part of what we try to emulate when using VSCO or any film preset in Lightroom.

I also have a Hoya 80A filter, which actually does work on the X100V, but I pretty much never use it. Next, on Instagram, share a picture that you’ve captured using a Fuji X Weekly film simulation recipe on your Fujifilm camera.So, in a way, your recipes have provided me with the freedom to focus on what’s important, and that’s the photograph itself and what it means for my loved ones. But there’s a “secret” ring around the lens that unscrews to reveal threads, but these threads cannot accept filters. Based on my experiment, you’ll get a matte look on film during the day and the bloom effects when you’re shooting at night. If you have different lenses and would like to use the same filter on those lenses, you can save costs by getting the step-up rings. The fact that I used a smartphone makes it neutral and color science or resolution isn’t of importance, it’s the effect the filter offers that this review is going to focus on, even with the computational photography the phone has.

They’re certainly not the only ones that are good for after-dark photography, but they are all excellent options, and have their own unique aesthetics. Fujicolor Super HG v2 is a highly versatile Film Simulation Recipe that—because it uses the Auto White Priority white balance—you can use anytime of the day or night. The quality of this Black Pro Mist from KeF is excellent, the result is identical to the more expensive filters from Nisi. I also have the 20% but unfortunately, wasn't able to use it because the lens I wanted to use it on was 2mm too small (35mm C mount).

As a personal vacation photographer, I always like to create something dreamy for SOOC portrait shoots and always let them know that I will be creating something nostalgic for them. Although the official material used is not disclosed, the language implies that it is most likely aluminum. Much will depend on how much of an effect you want to see from the diffusion filter but after my first outing with the 5% version I think I may prefer this over the 10% version.

Also, diffusion filters have been a cinematographic tool long before they were popular for still photography, so the aesthetic produced by these filters is inherently filmic. The effect can be similar – but not the same – and will likely look worse than what you would get with the filter. In simpler words, a diffusion filter is used to diffuse the image-forming light – and defocus it to achieve a dreamy and hazy glow in the image.The surface high-tech film is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and oil-proof, protects the black diffusion filter from all around, and extends the service life. Many photographers use diffusion filters to create creative images for their travel, streets and portrait photography. Tiffen Glimmer Glass 1 is the least extreme filter, it gives a small amount of bloom and pulls down highlight contrast slightly, but shadows seems to be the same. In this review, I’m utilizing the Moment Cinebloom Diffusion filter at 10% in combination with the Nikon Z6 and 50mm f1.
