CineBloom Diffusion Filters - Open Box, 20% / 62mm

$42.6

Our CineBloom Diffusion Filters are the secret sauce for capturing dreamy, film-like footage. Escape the clinical, ultra-sharp look of digital with this specialty glass. Available in densities of 5%, 10%, and 20%, they not only catch and bloom light but soften hard edges and provide a smoothing effect on skin tones, making wrinkles less noticeable. The glass itself is made by fusing a microlayer of NanoBlack particulates between two layers of top-grade Japanese filter glass, allowing us to maintain full image quality. The ring of the filter is precision machined from aerospace-grade metal and designed to be thin enough to stack underneath another filter without compromising the 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. Take your footage to new cinematic heights with CineBloom from Moment.

Moment CineBloom Diffusion Filter (Open Box) — Cinematic Glow for Travel Photography at a Discount

The gist: A Japanese optical glass diffusion filter that adds genuine film halation and a dreamy aesthetic to travel photos and video — available open-box at a notable price reduction.

  • Three strength options: 5% gives a subtle lift to highlights without obvious softening; 10% produces a noticeable filmic glow useful for portraits and golden-hour landscapes; 20% delivers heavy diffusion for mist-like, dreamy travel imagery.
  • Japanese optical glass construction: Aerospace-grade aluminum frame with quality optical glass keeps the core image sharp while the diffusion effect handles the highlights — you’re not just blurring the whole image.
  • Light bloom and lifted blacks: Highlights catch and glow organically while shadow detail lifts slightly — a look that’s common in travel and lifestyle film photography without post-processing.
  • Compact carry: Available from 37mm to 82mm so it fits compact mirrorless lenses and slim prime lenses that travel well — no bulky front element required.

Fstoppers reviewed the CineBloom and noted it produces a “dreamy, vintage film-like effect” with realistic halation around highlights — an organic look that’s difficult to replicate cleanly in post-production.

Best for: Travel photographers and vloggers who want a filmic, editorial aesthetic without heavy editing — especially effective at golden hour and in low light. Skip it if: you need sharp, clinical images for product or architecture work — the diffusion will soften fine details. Open-box pricing starts around $22 — check the current price before buying.
