    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.

    Do you need it with vintage lenses? Because my minolta glass so soft, that you can sleep on it

    • @huntercreatesthings
      @huntercreatesthings  6 місяців тому +4

      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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I'm very much an analogue, use what I can get out of the camera guy (I'm not scared of editing, I just think there's a real art to taking a picture and posting it with no touchy), and I'm starting to get into filters bit by bit. Could I ask for a direction to jump in for some of the silly/fun/cranked up filters you mention?

    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.

    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

    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!

      @huntercreatesthings  6 місяців тому +3

      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.
