Protects the front element of a lens from dust, dirt, moisture, and potential scratches. High-quality UV filters can be permanently mounted on lenses with a minimum impact on image quality. Polarizing Filter

However, there is one catch: film simulations only apply to JPEGs. So for RAW shooters, I suggest shooting in JPEG + RAW, as this will allow you to get that film-like experience when shooting but still retain the flexibility to edit in post if the JPEG doesn't suffice. I was using it with an iPhone, so it wasn’t just a phone anymore. I often shoot from the hip without having people notice and I can often get away with it. But, with the filter, people tend to look, which is different. But I must also say, this only happens in certain scenarios.

Cinebloom Samples

The filter comes with different filter strengths, 5%, 10% and 20%. Shooting Portraits with the Cinebloom A vacation portrait photoshoot for tourists – Fujifilm X-T4, Moment Cinebloom 20% density, Fujinon XF35mm F2 When using a diffusion filter on film cameras, the film results can be different compared to shooting with digital cameras. The dreamy effects are subtle when used on film cameras. You’ll less likely to get dreamy effects on film cameras if didn’t expose your film properly or have bad lighting around you. I didn’t pay for the filter, but I surely liked the fact that the price was less than half of that of filters in the same category. Filters help to eliminate glare and distortion, improve contrast, reduce lens light, and more. Each lens filter is designed to provide a particular effect to increase the ultimate look of an image. In extremely difficult conditions they may be essential for capturing scenery, improve color and minimize reflections, or they may simply protect lenses. Camera Lens Filters in photography and film are commonly used and although some use filters only in rare cases, others rely on filters for their daily work. What are Camera Lens Filters and How Do They Work?

It’s summer and it’s hot. I live in Arizona, so when I say it’s hot, I mean that it feels like someone opened an oven door! Nobody wants to be outside during the day right now, so (like vampires) everyone comes out at night. Not that it’s all that much cooler at dusk—it’s still triple digits—but at least it’s more bearable. While it’s easy to look at the negative side of things, the positive aspect to the excessive heat is that opportunities for night photography are plentiful. The X100V doesn’t initially appear to be able to accept filters. There are no screw-in threads visible. But there’s a “secret” ring around the lens that unscrews to reveal threads, but these threads cannot accept filters. You need to buy an adapter to screw into those threads that has its own threads that filters can screw into. Make sense? Diffusion filter, which is known as one of the best creative lens FX filters to create a dreamy effect and soften highlights for both photos and videos. This filter sometimes is used in music videos and movie films. Honestly speaking, the quality build of the Moment Cinebloom is excellent, especially the red outer ring which represents their brand can be easily recognized when you see one.

The good news is that you have a few options and you can either spend a lot, or not much at all to get some pretty similar looking results to the old ‘Softs’, but what does a good alternative look like? The build quality of the Moment filters is top-notch and on par with Tiffen filters. Additionally, the red ring design adds a cool look, and the bright color makes it easy to spot when the filter is attached to your lens.

The intensity of the diffusion or “mist” effect is identified by a number assigned by a filter’s manufacturer, and everyone’s naming convention is a little different. Moment CineBloom filters come in 10% and 20%. Tiffen uses fractions—1/8th, 1/4th—and even whole numbers like “2.” What’s left? I own a Tiffen 49mm Circular Polarizer that I rarely use. I probably should use it more, because CPLs are great for reducing unwanted reflections. To some extent, it’s theoretically possible to mimic Color Chrome FX Blue with a CPL filter, I think, although I’ve never tried. I also have a Hoya Intensifier (a.k.a. Didymium filter or Starscape filter) that I’ve used a few times. I have some 49mm color filters for B&W film photography, but obviously those don’t work well on the X100V (I tried). I also have a Hoya 80A filter, which actually does work on the X100V, but I pretty much never use it. Diffusion filters work well when shooting videos including travel videos, music videos, vlogs and so on. As a Fujifilm shooter, I have been using the filter for shooting short video clips for my film projects and Fujifilm SOOC recipes are the Tokyo Dream recipe. You can find a few film simulation recipes that use the diffusion filter. The 10%is our more popular filter density because of its perfect middle ground. While more of a noticeability than the 5%, our 10% CineBloom filters offer an angelic glaze in all the right places. Shooting with the filter is all up to your own choice, whether you’re trying to achieve something new, creative or just for fun. It works well for street photography, creative portraits and travel photography and is great for indoor shoots and night portrait shoots!

There are certain types of photography filters that can alter or boost the colors in your images. Some have the ability to correct the color temperature of a scene, while others can enhance color and contrast for a more vibrant image. They Help Ensure Accurate Exposure

A few days ago I took my Fujifilm X-T5 to downtown Tempe for some after-dark photography. Attached to the camera was a Meike 35mm f/1.7 lens, and I had a 5% CineBloom diffusion filter screwed onto it. I like the Meike lens for its vintage-like character. I chose the 5% CineBloom because its effect is subtle. While the 10% or 20% might have been more appropriate for a couple of the Film Simulation Recipes, overall I appreciate what the 5% CineBloom does to the photographs, which is not much yet oftentimes just enough. I programmed into my Fujifilm X-T5 eight different Film Simulation Recipes, and shot with all of them. How was I able to program eight? Well, obviously, there’s C1-C7. On the X-T5 (as well as my X-E4 and a few other newer models), you can program an additional Recipe into the IQ menu. As you scroll through C1-C7, when you’re in-between C7 and C1, the camera will display the shooting mode (either P, A, S, or M, depending on the configuration of your dials), and it will select the settings programmed into the IQ menu, giving you a bonus eighth custom preset.I love the great stories that I’m reading— your Fuji X Weekly moments! For example, @xisperience shared in his post: The Moment Diffusion filter employs fine white nanoparticles, but it doesn’t feature any coatings. As a result, you achieve a soft mist filter effect with an added haze from the way light interacts with the filter. The light hits the filter, causing additional ghosting and flare, which then interacts with the nanoparticles to create a more organic, classic feel.
