What is your favourite diffusion filter? When do you use them? Let me know if you have different filters than I have! I would love to check them out :)

I prefer the glimmer glass. Thanks for showing all the examples. It was easy to spot the subtle differences.

The best comparison by far. Thanks for making it. I thought I was going for the Black Satin or the BPM1/8. But now I'll go for the glimmer glass.

Really enjoyed your relaxing explanations over the raw video. Made it a lot easier to think about differences without skipping back and forth every five seconds.

Glimmerglass felt like the only one of the bunch that delivers nice halation. Not to mention refraining from exaggerating lens flares and reducing contrast

As Cinebloom 10/20 owner I'd say 20 is nice for night shots only, 10% is perfect for anything, I dropped mine and now it generates some crazy prism like artefacts that look really nice

I actually own Black Pro-Mist 1/2 filters. They create a very pronounced and strong bloom effect, but somehow still maintain black levels really well. It is definitely more aggressive that most people would prefer, but there’s something about it that is exactly what I want in my photos and videos.

truly an awesome video. thank you for taking the time to do this

this is such a GREAT video, thank you for making it and years later it's still so perfect to understand and helps me so much.

Glimmer Glass rules! Subtle enough that I can almost leave it glued to my lens. The others lose a little too much contrast for me.

That's the test I was hoping to find on KZfaq! Thanks pal.

Gosh glad I found you. Fantastic video. Informative, extremely calming. I think your passion for the tools really shines through your voice and the video.

Daaang dude, you actually got the glimmer glass! It's so cool to see all of these side by side! You've got that glimmer glass back on my mind again. BPM is a classic look, but I feel like it might be a little too common!

Great comparison. Most videos usually compare only 2 brands. I’m sold on glimmer glass now 😃

Thanks for the comparisons. In 2021, I performed a similar test with these five diffusion filters that I use when shooting portraits: 1.Hoya Duto soft focus filter 77mm 2.Tiffen Black Pro Mist #1 soft focus 77mm 3.Tiffen Black Pro Mist #3 soft focus 77mm 4.Hoya #B Diffuser 77mm 5.Cokin type Soft Diffuser (rectangular) The Hoya Duto and the Tiffen #1 diffused the least. Hoya #B and Cokin diffused the most. Tiffen #3 was in the middle. The equipment setup was: Fuji S5 Pro digital SLR tripod mounted 85mm f/1.4 Nikkor auto focus prime lens (77mm filter size) manual focus setting ISO 800 f/2.8 f/stop 1/125 second shutter speed F1b film simulation Open shade sun light Shade White Balance In addition to my 85mm f/1.4 Nikkor, I also use these filters on a 180mm f/4.5 lens on my RB67 medium format SLR.

Glimmerglass it is lol Thank you, i’ve been researching and boom i found your video. 🙏🏽 I was going back and forth with glimmerglass or black pro mist 1/8. but glimmer just won it all for me lol

So thankful for this. I would have never found out what suits Mt style best. Haven't seen any other comments saying this one, but I like the freewell mist. The perfect balance for my taste

Best vid on diffusions filter comparisons I've watched and I watched a lot of em', nice work!

I own and shoot with the Cinebloom 20% and it's definitely a strong filter but with natural light can make a scene so much more interesting! Great video!

The Cinebloom looks amazing. I like that it has the look that's inbetween the ProMist 1/8 and 1/4.

this is exactly what i needed to see for my research. thanks so much for all the comparisons and breakdowns. easy to understand and great lens comparisons!!

Definitely GlimmerGlass for me, but the Cinebloom 10% is going to be my next purchase ;)

Wow!! I have and love the BPM 1/8 as well as the 1/4(but don’t use this often). Seeing the GlimmerGlass compared just might have changed my mind tho 🥹 I’m definitely going to have to add one to the collection lol! New Sub here! Cheers 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

I don't know how many times I watched this video... but yeah, amazing content! New sub, and thanks a lot for share this one. It help me a lot!

Great video! Before this video I never even heard of Glimmer or Freewell, but by far those are my 2 favorite!

Cooool man, THANKS! Ordered glimmerglass 1 right away! Looked amazing compared to rest of the bunch (imo) Again, thanks for great test!👌🏼

Thank you for demo. I have used Pro Mist 1/8 and 1/4, but I'm going to try the Glimmer Glass. You did a lovely job of making the scene look nice.

Nice! My favorites are Frewell Mist & Glimmer Glass 1. The two last. Do mostly still photography. Will investigate more.

Thank you so much for this very useful side-by-side comparison. I bought a Tiffen BPM 1/4 to take the edge off my Canon RF 'L' series lenses which I find a bit too sharp for video but the BPM 1/4 gives a much stronger effect (halation and contrast reduction) than I was expecting in most situations, so I was about to order a BPM 1/8 until I watched this video and I have now ordered a Glimmerglass GG1 instead. Thanks again for the comparison.

throughout the video I kept saying: "Why does he keep saying PROMISED?"...then I realized - Pro Mist...Great video :)

Thanks for the video! I just ordered a Cinebloom, I already have a GG1 and I love it but I find that sometimes I'd like to get a softer image to match the "bloom" better

Oh mannnn. Amazing video! Might have to borrow that back light soon ;)

Great comparison and beautiful video. Thanks for sharing!

Wow these filters are so cool ⭐️ if I were to buy one, I would choose from BPM/Cinebloom/Freewell ! 🙌🏻

Thx for this video :-). The best for me are the BPM 1/4 and the Cinebloom 10%

이런 심층적 리뷰는 언제나 좋습니다 저도 여러 필터를 쓰는데 한 눈에 보기 편하게 비교 해주셨네요!

What a fantastic video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Very well made my friend! Hope to see a lot more like it

Real good video! I really like the comparison side by side

Fantastic video and excellent comparisons. Thank you for posting this.

미스트 필터에 대해 잘 몰랐는데 이번 영상을 보니 구매해서 사용해보고 싶네요! 블랙프로미스트와 씨네블룸 탐나네요~

Superb vid. Glimmerglass for the win.

Glimmerglass 1 and cinebloom 10% definitely will work for me. Tank you! Very useful video

My favourite is cinebloom 10 % filter i love it...❤❤❤

Hi sir, thanks to this very good video, my go to diffusion filter is the cinebloom 10%. Because highlights are "spilled" in a more linear, soft way. 🙏Peace

I love my glimmerglass but struggle to use them when shooting video or doing hybrid photo/video weddings - are you comfortable using the mist filters without NDs for these video shoots? I dont really notice any jitters or artifacts from high shutter speeds in your BRoll examples... is it because they're slightly slowed down? Great video!!

Thank you for this excellent comparison!

This THE BEST video on this subject. Thank you so much! I subscribed 😊

Wow amazing comparison. Thank you

이런 채널을 왜 이제 알았지…. 멍청한 알고리즘 유튜브서 끝내 안뜬거 도프룩 카페를 통해 알게되었네요 다른영상들도 잘보았습니다

I have the cinebloom 5 and 10. the 5 is glued to my lens and I find it still stronger than 1/8 BPM but doesnt raise blacks anywhere as much.

Beautifully done👏👏

Thanks you so much. Great comparison.

great compairson video

The Nisi black pro mist filters are superb!

저는 프로미스트 1/8이랑 시네블룸 10%가 젤 좋아보이네요^^

Thanks for doing this video, been a great help!

잘봤어요~ 헐.... 모델분 2:01 이 정말 너무 아름다우시다고 꼬옥 전해주세요 매번 나와주세요~ ㅠ.ㅠ

Wanna get all of them you mentioned!

Thanks truly, you make my decision a lot easier

BPM 1/8 just gives it that little nudge that I like for a general purpose diffusion.

Thank u for this hard work❤ & sharing the results.. can u pls tell me which diffusion filter will be best for daily vlog to have soft warm tones..eg. like hamimommy vlogs.

Agree on the Glimmerglass. How does it compare to Black Satin? Or in combo? Black pro mist looks nice in daylight situation adding some brightness to already existing light.

This was very informative. Thank you.

Glimmerglass looks the best to me as bpm washes/muddies the image IMO. Curious if you've used the tiffen pearlescent or schneider hollywood black magic?

If I had to chose just one, I think I'd go for cinebloom

I bought my first diffusion filter ever the BPM 1/4 before watching your video. I'm supposed to get it this week... but after watching your video I really like the Glimmer glass 1! Could you tell me which one you recommend for daily use, street photographye, landscape and a bit of video? Great content btw :)

Thank U

Awesome video! It really helps a lot.

Great comparison of all the filters! May I ask what lens do you use to create such beautiful bokeh when you are demonstrating the freewell mist filter outdoors in the video please?

would love to see your thoughts on black satin

감사합니다.

super helpful. Thank you

Thank you for this!

Beautiful video, thank you

Thanks for the video, is very informative.

thank u, so much for this review!

Footage looks great! Just curious what LUTs or color process you’re using.

Thank you for the comparion! I love the Glimmer Glass as well. Do you mind sharing the lighting set-up + ND filter strength that you used at 5:42 ?

beautiful video as always ~! And I'm good 😊 how are you?

Great comparison video! I just bought the BPM 1/4 for everyday footage and the Cinebloom 20% for any stylized work. I'm debating on adding Cinebloom 10%...this will help me decide!

3:55 the cinebloom for sure has bad color shifts. You'll notice green and cool shifts when using the filter. Combined with an ND filter, and the color integrity simply falls apart.

와 선생님 잘 보고 가요!! 😀이거 without filter 원본 영상은 로그촬영 아니고 그냥 네츄럴 상태로 촬영후 단순히 미스트 필터만 끼우신건가요??

그래서 감독님. 제 스타일엔 뭐가 제일 잘 어울릴까요~??^^;;; 영상을 세번이나 봤는데 결정장애가 왔어요 ㅠㅠ

Thank you for the video!!!! Can you tell us about filters that change skin tone? Thanks

VND+mist ❤

Hi, I loved your content... Great video.

5:53 블랙프로미스트보다 글로우효과가 덜해 관심있게 보는 필터입니다. 미스트 필터는 검은 입자의 블랙미스트, 하얀 입자의 화이트미스트로 나뉜다고 알고 있는데 글리머글래스의 포지션은 무엇일까요? 글리머글래스도 검은 입자가 있지만 그 강도가 덜한 미스트 필터일까요?

Je vois les sous titres en français je suppose tu le parle. Quel objectif et appareil utilise tu dans cette vidéo. Merci !

Thank you for making it, great video. Do you know the model of the 49mm variable ND mounted on the front of the Sony FE55mm 1.8 lens at 1:19 seconds in the video? Thanks!

Hi may I ask, what camera and focal length lens are you using for these filters? Everything looks amazing!

which you prefer cinebloom filter 10% or 20%? and why?

Do not buy the Cinebloom filter from Moment if you need your gear in a timely manner. I paid for one of their filters on Monday. 4days later Thursday came along and the filter still hasn’t shipped out lol. 🤦🏻‍♂️

와.. 이거 왜 놓쳤었죠 ㅠㅠ 엄청 상세하게 살명해주셔서 감사해요 :) 엄청 유용한 영상입니다 ㅎㅎㅎ 영상으로 보기엔 cinebloom 10% 가 가장 트라이해보고 싶네요 ㅎㅎㅎ

I like cinebloom 10% but in my country have only K&f concept Nisi What the most like Cinebloom 10% Thank you

I like the Cinebloom 10% and the Glimmerglass. But I don't like how they connect to the iPhone with their case. Seems that Pan's snap filter is the only one on the market right now that makes good use of the magsafe.

Hi, can I ask what lens you used for the glimmerglass example footage segment? When you filmed the BTS of a film set

What a pity you didn't compare the CineBloom 5% and 20% as well as the 10%. I love the degree of control from very subtle to strong and I can never predict ahead of time which strength will give the best result, and this full range of diffusion is more important to me than the variations between brands in many cases. This is also true of BMP and presumably Glimmerglass if #1 means there are other strengths. I should also point out that some of us shoot in black and white, and the quality of diffusion is different for B&W than it is for color footage, and yet filter reviewers seem to test just in color.

this is great, have you done a comparison between the black pro mist and the Polar Pro Quartzline FX Mist 1/4?

I like the glimmer glass one, but cant find one for 46mm lens

감사합니다~! 너무 좋네요~!
