Firecrest Bloom Gold Filter

Bloom Gold Diffusion is truly THE BEST!!!

Trying and testing out different diffusion over the course of many years, I think I can safely say that I’ve found the one. The bloom gold is perfect for ANY scenario. I’ve tested it out in bright daylight, overcast and at night, all leading to zero complaints about this product. The filter not only blooms the highlights, not in a crazy fashion mind you, but it does something magical to the sharpness of the image as well. It softens it up ever so slightly taking off the digital edge, making it look more filmic in my opinion. As someone who chases something that could make my images look like film, this filter definitely checks all the boxes. P.S., I got the 1/4 Bloom Gold and it’s not too much neither is it too subtle.

Premium quality filter. Night time diffusion may be too strong for some.

Great quality and feel….the diffusion factor feels closer to a glimmerglass 1/2 rather than the 1/8 factor annointed. So night time highlight blooming may be extreme for some.

the perfect thing

I've been looking for an all around filter that softens light and skin just the tiniest amount, such that it doesn't look like any obvious filtration is happening -- I've tried lots and this one at 1/8 is the perfect one. Love the very subtle warmth it adds. Gives my lenses the feel of much more expensive cinema glass.
