CineBloom Diffusion Filters - Open Box, 5% / 49mm

Moment CineBloom Diffusion Filter — Instant Film Glow for Travel Filmmakers

The gist: A stackable glass diffusion filter that removes the clinical sharpness of modern sensors and replaces it with the soft bloom, lifted blacks, and dreamy highlight glow of vintage film — in the field, with no post-processing needed.

• Three density options (5%, 10%, 20%): 5% adds a barely-there softening for subtle character; 10% is the versatile all-rounder; 20% creates an editorial-magazine effect ideal for portraits and golden-hour travel footage.
• Japanese optical glass + aerospace aluminum: Premium glass construction maintains image sharpness while adding the diffusion effect — no degradation in resolution or color accuracy.
• Stackable thin ring: The precision-machined frame is thin enough to stack with an ND or VND filter on top for cinematic slow-motion while shooting outdoors.
• 12-month warranty, open-box pricing: Open Box units are blemish-free with all original accessories — the ideal entry point into Moment’s filter system at a lower cost.

Fstoppers called the CineBloom “much more affordable than filters that have been in the industry for some time,” noting it effectively mimics the bloom and highlight rolloff of vintage film glass on modern mirrorless cameras.

Best for: Travel filmmakers and photographers who want cinematic, film-like character without relying on heavy post-production grading. Skip it if: You shoot primarily in low light — diffusion filters amplify existing lens flare and may soften critical details in dark scenes. Runs ~$43 — check the current price before buying.
