There are CPL for pocket 3 too but I don't use them. It depends on content you want to film of course. For my sort of use, I don't really need them. My most used are NDs and Wide attachments.
The Pocket 3 is being a revelation for me. For years, I've been perfecting a way to, when travelling, quickly "repurpose" my camera from stills to video on the fly. That means take it away from the straps, put a ND filter on the lens (when shooting outside during the day), and mounting on a gimbal. Achieved a method that I could do it around 30-40 seconds, counting the time to take the gimbal from the backpack. Kinda ok, but still a lot of fumbling. Until I realised that 80-90% of my movie shots when travelling were with wide focal lenghts. Enter the Pocket 3. Now is just a jacket / cargo pocket and a flip on the screen away. Camera used for stills, and for some specialty shots, use the camera handheld with IBIS and stabilization in post. The camera (now a Fuji X-S20) have better image? Yes. A notable one? For trained eyes, yes, but much less than expected - and in tests with people around that are not camera centric, they don't see a difference at all. They gimbal was put for sale. And life is much simpler now. Bonus: the internal mics on this thing are awesome - made some concert shots and they've put into shame the external mic that I use on my camera.
This is a better solution? Distorted lens flares have nothing to do with anamorphics. 1.1x? Words like cinematic and professional are very dangerous on UA-cam 😂
Thanks Jimmy! I am excited to get the set, especially to have some fun with the macro lens!
what about CPL?

I like anamorphic, but not the blue flare effects! 😑 it looks so wrong and cheap. Why are there no anamorphic lenses without blue flare 😪
Dude I know, just let it flare naturally!!!
