Moment 72mm 5% CineBloom Diffusion Filter

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.

A subtle cinematic look that stays on the lens

CineBloom 5% gently softens clinical digital sharpness while preserving fine details, accurate colors, and natural contrast.

The mildest option in the series is ideal for documentaries, weddings, portraits, and product shots where the atmosphere shouldn’t distract from the main subject.

Softer highlights without heavy haze

Lamps, windows, neon lights, and backlighting gain controlled softness and a smoother transition into shadows. At 5% strength, the effect remains subtle and works naturally throughout the entire shoot.

Skin texture appears more pleasing, and practical lights aren’t as harsh, without making the image look obviously filtered.

Japanese glass and NanoBlack diffusion

A micro-layer of etched NanoBlack particles is fused into premium Japanese optical glass. It softens highlights while preserving colors and useful sharpness.

The lightweight ribbed frame fits a standard 72 mm thread and can be placed under a compatible ND or VND filter.

See how the density changes the atmosphere

The manufacturer’s official samples show the same interior with subtle 5% diffusion and pronounced 20% diffusion. The 5% version preserves clean detail and adds only a slight glow around the lamp.
