I think even though we don't need diffusion filters or mist filters to get that look anymore, they still have real utility and value for creativity and inspiration. Let me know if there are more lens filters that spark your creative juice factory! Lens effects filters often get made fun of by purists and professionals alike, but there has to be a reason they're so popular...

Check out the CineBloom filter if you're interested! (not sponsored, but it is an affiliate link ❤) bit.ly/CinebloomHydration
Not being a critical sharpness guy I have a low strength (1/8) diffusion filter on all of my lenses. It’s not really noticeable 95% of the time unless I purposefully shoot to bring it out, like backlit or at night. Consequently, I occasionally get a WOW shot with one and I’m glad I had it.
Nice! I may do the same
I’m 54 seconds in and only just noticed the spoon 😂
It sneaks up on you hahaha
Do you need it with vintage lenses? Because my minolta glass so soft, that you can sleep on it
Hahaha, definitely not for the softness but it would be fun to play with the way it changes highlights - I have a load of old Pentax glass, and some step up rings on the way so I can test just this!
I was wondering much the same. I shoot a mix of analog and digital, and if it won't do much for film, I can save a few bucks buying a 55mm diameter for my mirrorless. Otherwise, it's a 77mm for my Mamiya and step up rings for my other cameras.
I have a black mist want a filter on my 105 mm 2.5 sometimes. Nikon F Mount. It makes nailing critical focus. Maybe 10% harder but the results are so nice
I have several old lenses with fungus, they give you the same veiling as those filters.
POLAND MENTIONED

Name brand filters give a more expensive look than Moment stuff. They were created alongside legendary cinematographers, and perfected over decades. They tend to be less one-note.
I dunno - the moment filter compares quite nicely to tiffens I've used in the past
When your lenses are too sharp and your digital camera is too hi-res, you can always add a stack of scratched glass to give it that disposable film camera look.
If you can find a deal, snag a Glimmerglass 1 from Tiffen. I’ve had a 1/4 black pro mist and Cinebloom 10%, but the glimmerglass is by far my favorite and the most versatile.
Ooh, I have heard good things about the glimmerglass ... Maybe I will try one out
a while back now I found out about the tiffen Glimmer Glass. I picked one up and I now pretty much always have it on my video camera. It looks a bit strange. The glass itself looks kind of dirty or speckly, almost glittery. But on the lens, it somehow lets the detail through and only diffuses highlights in a very pleasing sort of hallation way.
I've heard many good things about the Glimmerglass!
do you use the spoon for cooking and another question, if you do, do you keep the microphone on while cooking?
Yes and yes - You really have to immerse the mic in the soup to really get the full audio experience
@@huntercreatesthings oh yes, the sound of vegetables in pain :D
He definitely does. A true professional 😂

The slightly disappointed/exhausted look on ur face ❤
Don't look so sorry about it! It's okay!
Hahahaha I cannot lie, I enjoy buying gear
Keep up the great work mate!
Thank you! Means a lot
i'm getting into photography I've been watching quite a few of your videos recently and somehow only realized after 2 references to Polish media squeezed into one short video that you're a fellow varsavian 😁
Hahaha yes indeed!
That was super informative, thanks buddy !! I was also looking at your shoes while you were on the bench, may I ask what's the model please ? They look cool !
Glad you enjoyed! They're the Iron Rangers by Red Wing
Love your videos mane
Thank you 🙏
I love the look of them. I have one that lives on my 20mm and one that lives on my 85mm
Nice!
How do you have only 7.5k subscribers?!
I'm growing as fast as I can hahaha, share with your friends!
I love my 10% Cinebloom filter!
So good right!?
I have a 10% cinebloom permanently attached to my X100, no regrets! Only annoyance is the flaring from light sources at night.
I quite like the flaring sometimes - I think in my case it helps give a bit of character to the overwhelmingly white city lights, but I feel like I wouldn't want it if I was somewhere that had warmer lighting for sure
@@huntercreatesthings flip side is 20% is BONKERS. Full on Vaseline. 10% is perfect.
"If that sounds like a lot of work..." IT'S DAVID FINCHER!
Hahahahaha
I feel like filters are to make light that hits the lens from outside of the frame give character
Also great for that!
Here is a little secret nobody knows. You can buy many old lenses with fungus for pennies. They will give you the same veiling glare as those expensive filters.
True - but for those of us who already have a few sets of modern autofocus lenses it's still a fairly convenient and inexpensive way to spice things up
@@huntercreatesthings I heard modern lenses also get fungus, try keeping them in a damp place for a while 😁
Noooooo i love em pls
Don't worry the video is about how they're still cool and good :)
If you want to try some soft/diffusion filter for basically 0$, there is something better than vaseline and also very DIY: take a clean filter (protection or uv), add some liquid soap to water in roughly 1/10-1/20 ratio, then spray this nuclear mix into the air and let microdroplets to settle on filter evenly (better on the back to prevent accidental smearing).
You can experiment with amount and look that it gives as much as you want, which is great for satisfying curiosity :)
But in general such filter gives "classic" soft filter look and also looks similar to effect of spherical aberration with additional loss of contrast, when made in right proportion.
Yeah, kinda sketchy, but ok way to decide do you even like such effect or not
That sounds like the exact kind of crazy I like
@@huntercreatesthings Creative photography stuff on a budget, as is :)
Pure improvisation
Love the idea of this
sick mic
Thanks haha I also use it to cook up my videos after I film
@@huntercreatesthings Ima let u cook cause that video was fire
Sigma Art lenses have 3D pop? I always heard the opposite. Old glass with only a few elements or even these cheap chinese lenses have way more 3D pop.
Pop in raw files or jpegs?
I also heard the opposite but with my specific setup I find the 50mm 1.4 is outstanding and looks "3d" to my eyeballs.
@@bngr_bngr both. 3D pop isn't about shooting wide open and bluring the background. Even when you shoot at F8 and everything in the image is sharp, but due to the rendering and the micro contrast objects pop out of the frame.
Ever since Camera Conspiracies, the whole narrative of Sigma not having 3d has become a thing that people blindly believe lol... We can't just keep getting swayed by one person's opinion, even if they are incredibly entertaining
@@TheMillennialJoe never saw this. All I can say is that even my 70 EUR TTartisan 25mm f2 has more of it than my Fuji Primes (23mm F2 and 35mm F2). Try it out 🤷
Subtle promo vid, but points taken. Special effect filters have a place, IMO, but should not “cheapen” a photo by “shouting” special effects used in this one - kind of like the old “starburst” filters. The effect should not be the subject itself. Cheers!
I agree - the effect should only enhance the subject! Also - not a promo video! While I write for Moment's web blog, and get gear freebies, they didn't ask me to make this video, or know about it :) Of course, there's an affiliate link, but I can create an affiliate link for any product. Thanks for watching!
If only there was a way to manipulate digital images so we didn't have to buy filters anymore. 😉
The end result is not always the reason for the filter :)
I never use filters. I rather have a clean raw file than baking a look into the file.
waste of time :/ this is such a mediocre take on diffusion filters. even mentioning that ur feeling “uncomfortable” not having the flexibility in post… this vid is a waste of memory on ur computer
no bold statements, no reasons to watch, no intrigue
Where's your video about diffusion filters?
