Introduction
I bought Cinebloom 시네블룸 20% Diffusion Filter by Moment. What a filter that rather offsets its performance with clear and reliable digital camera equipment. It's ironic, but I want Cinebloom 20% to take pictures with dramatic effects. Moment's said to be about the strength of other companies' black promist 1.
I got an 82mm aperture to mount on my Sony 2470gm(1st Gen) lens. I also bought a step-up ring to fasten it to other lenses. 67-82mm step-up ring (35GM and 85 f1.8 is 67mm filter size) is so useful size for my case.
I considered either Cinebloom or Tiffen's Black Promist. Cinebloom attracted attention with a slightly cheaper price, and the red ring captured the mind.
Before Click pay button, I've looked at several samples, but it's difficult to make an accurate judgment until I actually use them, so I'm going to write while using Cinebloom filter myself.
This article only checks the appearance immediately after receiving Cinebloom filter and the simple first test. I will add samples after using Cinebloom for a long time.
As the first test, Flash light is mainly used to examine the effect. The flashlight used Godox v1s. Flash was placed on the right side of the photographer and took in an off-camera state. In addition, I also took the Cinebloom filter effect in the on-camera state mounted on the camera. No Flash Acc. No Bouncing. No Edit Picture.

Packaging
The Cinebloom filter components are contained in a paper package. the size of an adult man's hand. The round filter case resembles a cosmetic fact. Just plastic. Cinebloom filter case doens't look solid. The logo of Moment is on the front side, and filter specifications and simple information are written on the back side.
Mist particles for light scattering are sprayed on filter surface, but they are not very noticeable unless you look closely.
The hood can be fastened even if the Cinebloom filter is coupled to the lens, and other filters can be additionally fastened on top. For example, a VND filter, CPL and etc.
Sample
With Godox V1s Light. The picture on the top was taken without a filter. The picture on the bottom is a picture of a filter. As for the model, my old camera worked hard.
The light was disturbed even by the camera flash light, which reduced the contrast of the entire picture. I wonder the effect of shooting outdoors during the day.

Looking at the flash
Outdoor (야외)
맑은 낮 12시경 해가 머리 위에 있을 때 찍어본 야외 장면. 사진 순서대로 노필터 - 씨네블룸 20% - 티펜 블랙프로미스트 1 순이다. 빛이 산란되는 표현이나 그림자쪽 암부가 조금 더 밝게 나오는 면에서, 개인적인 선호로는 씨네블룸 쪽이 더 마음에 들었다.
Disapointment
The effectiveness of the filter is satisfactory. But it's quite disappointing to see from the outside. I doubt it's build quality that can come from a high price.
Whether the inspection was not done properly or whether the goods were sent from the store that had been used. In any case, this part should have been fixed.
Sample photos using Cinebloom will be added while filming in the future.
