CineBloom diffusion filters help craft dreamy-looking images and footage effortlessly; no post-production needed. They come in various sizes and densities, making them accessible to assorted camera lenses and manual controls.

There's the 5% which takes the clinical edge off subjects with minimal effect, the 10%, which is the perfect middle ground for blooming backlight scenes; and the 20%, which produces a solid haze to craft a more stylized look.

I recently upgraded to the 20% strength in a 67mmm diameter to fit on my XF56mm F1.2 R WR and Viltrox 13mm F1.4 camera lenses. The results were compelling — wistful in a haze, nostalgic in tone, and an appropriate additive to the type of portraits I envisioned.

It was rather painful to switch the filter between my previously owned lenses; I'll likely have to invest in extra thread sizes eventually.

The filter hardly left my camera these past two weeks of shooting. It was present during my nightscape ganders, quick snaps during errand runs, fetching kids, or weekend family dinners. It was vital to test the filter's ability among diverse settings to understand how it behaves in different circumstances.

Thus — an epiphany struck — does stacking a 10% and 20% CineBloom filter give me 30% strength?

Below is a gallery from my two-week experiment; notice how the filter holds up to the varied environments. These images were captured in Tropical Singapore, affecting the degree of reflection, blooming conditions, and bokeh levels.

37mm CineBloom Diffusion Filters Review

We’ve shot with a lot of filters, and nothing caught our attention quite like diffusion filters. But they weren’t meeting all of our needs... so we decided to make our own.

Available in densities of 10% and 20%, Moment CineBloom Diffusion Filters are the secret sauce to capturing dreamy, film-like footage. Escape the clinical, ultrasharp look of digital with this specialty glass. It not only catches and blooms light, but has a smoothing effect on skin tones, making wrinkles less noticeable. The ring of the filter is precision machined from aerospace grade metal, delivering the durability we expect for all of our shoots. It’s also specially designed to be thin enough to stack underneath another filter without compromising field of view. This means you can use an ND or VND on top of it for shooting cinematic frame rates and capturing motion blur. The glass itself is made by fusing a micro layer of black particulates between two layers of top grade Japanese filter glass, allowing us to maintain full image quality. We are able to precisely control the density of these particulates to offer 2 different strengths of diffusion filters. Take your footage to timeless, cinematic heights with CineBloom from Moment.
