This has been a long time coming! Bloom filters by Mr Bloom - it’s too perfect 😅 Snapped up the 82mm 1/8 and 1/4 filters. As someone who shoots at night in Tokyo frequently, I can’t emphasize how much of a difference diffusion filters make. Can’t wait to try them mate and congrats 🍻

When Mr. Bloom speaks, we listen.

This is fabulous! Philip has tirelessly worked with us to perfect & design this incredible filter. No area has been left unchecked & Philip has rigorously tested every aspect to ensure the upmost quality of standard. We are really very proud to share his spectacular creation with such a talented professional. All sizes are now available to purchase either now or on back order. Reading all your fabulous comments, we see there are some more desirable sizes & forms, which we would love to explore further.

Can't go wrong with anything Phillip Bloom has his expertise on. #legend

Very excited to try these! Thanks for all the great, objective, valuable content, and for creating these. Always a treat when a new product comes out that is a no-brainer to use!

What a day what a treat, Philip brings his kitties to the Gold Filter meet.

Congratulations on this excellent product seeing the light of day, Mr. Bloom! A 95mm size is very desirable for the darling of the people, the Sony 28-135G. Pleeease))

These look AMAZING! I can't wait to work with them!!

I'm sold. Purchased 1/8th for 82mm. Many years ago when I worked at a production house (I was an editor) our commercial directors shooting 35mm could be found in upmarket clothing stores looking through stretched silk stockings to make their own diffusion filters because they didn't like the Tiffen filters then available to them.

Thank you for making these available for anyone. I really appreciate all your hard work and hunt for perfection! 💯

‘Twas a pleasure meeting you at the Wales and west photo show where you gave myself and a small group a demo of these, I bought the 1/8 and 1/4 and can attest that the results are beautiful. Having used Formatt Hitech for a number of years i knew these would certainly be excellent!

Absolutely loving these filter, using most of the time!

This is gold! Well done Philip!

These look fantastic! Great job!

Absolutely brilliant!! I can't wait to get these!!

Amazing! Buying one right now! I do use them all the time but nothing that wow me as you mentioned on your video. And what a better opportunity to support someone you truly admire! Thanks for helping us to help you!

Your shots are master pieces. Congrats on the new filters.

I'm so happy to see you expanding into your own products I'll definitely be picking some up. They look good 👍

This is so dang exciting! Gotta get my hands on some

Wow these look awesome!

Congrats on the launch!

Amazing! Def. going to pick one of these up!

Wow! Exactly what I've been looking/waiting for. Onward!

We want four of these in 58mm!

Brilliant Phillip! Thank you for doing this, It's just what I've wanted for nearly 2 decades. 55mm would be handy for some lenses I use on a 4K pocket cinema and M4/3" cameras.

Amazing looks!!! 🎉

I nabbed one of the early ones at a recent trade show and I've been really liking the effect of it. I went with the 1/4 because my primary use is inside my office and that seems like the right strength for that room. The added bling is a welcome improvement to my dull black camera setup 😄 Nice bonus being made in Wales too.

Congrats Sir Bloom! I’ll be ordering the 1/8, Super excited for you.

Missed your videos, happy to see that name in my subscription box 👍

First comment! Good to see you back! Congratulations on the new products.

Nice piece of glass Phillip... I tend to keep a 1/8 black mist on the lens for portraits to achieve a similar feel!

Looks amazing. Don't have any camera gear atm but if I did I'd try your filters out

@Philip, have you been able to compare these to the "Black Pro Mist" variety of diffusion? I'd be curious to know if these have comparable strength values when compared directly to other diffusion brands. We have 1/8 strength BPM filters that live on all our lenses for television production here in Hollywood, but I like the idea of having the added "gold warmth" as an option for our outdoor filming. I particularly loved the highlight contrast and subtle warm tinting in the sky shots you took. Thanks for the professional and thorough insights in your review. Cheers

@philipbloom

9 ай бұрын

Hi Jared, the strengths are indeed comparable. Much less loss of contrast. My filters aren’t just for outdoor but for indoor, night etc. The subtle warm halation is lovely and those good particles help maintain the contrast more.

I was expecting absurd branded costs. But $140 USD for the 82mm? $87.5 for 49mm? That's doable. But then I see the factory is in the UK?!? WOW. sold

I’ll be grabbing one of these. I tend to use the black mist, but I purchased the 1/4 strength which is just a little bit ott on my 70-200 plus 1.4 ext fully zoomed, so it tends to stay on my 50mm

I will definitely buy this one from Philip! After I broke my 1/8 Promist, that lived on my lenses all the time I tried to find something to replace it. I think I found it. Thank you mr. Philip! PS. I tried million ways to reproduce diffusion effect in post, and it looks like you cannot fully make the same look. DaVinci's diffusion+halation can make a pretty good job if you will spend a bit of time with tuning it. But recently i saw the Scatter plugin for DaVinci. To my eyes they getting pretty close to the look of real diffusion filters

I will be ordering a set of these filters as I know the quality will be there as Philip is involved in the design . Also I was expecting a high price for each of these but am extremely pleased to see they are not. Thanks Philip.

That settles it. Gonna have to purchase the 72mm and 82mm very soon. Thanks for the suggested video for me to watch, and the detailed explanation you provided. BTW, the gold color really pops! Again, BIG THANKS. 🥃

These look amazing! I know you've been talking to Michael Andrews lately about filters (VNDs especially) and it could be too much of an ask, but I'd love to see a set of your new filters compatible with his Maven magnetic mount (which would basically automatically be compatible with Kase's mount, too). It would be awesome to use your filters as a supplement to his system as I've recently consolidated all my various filters over to just using his so now I can't stack screw on filters anymore 😆. Regardless, congrats on the release! These do really look so good! And I'm surprised how relatively affordable they are!

Love the product and I know it'll be quality with your name attached to it. Time to save some funds. Lol

That 1/2 would look nice for a shot at a cafe in France in the 40's.

Beautiful. Can't wait to try them. Will there be a matte box version coming out?

Wonderful product -grabbing myself a couple. How can I not!?

This is perfect! I have a 1/4 Pro Mist that lives on my wider lenses, but I've been looking for a subtle 1/8th strength to live on my telephoto lenses.

I used a UV filter and sprayed a short burst from a can of hairspray. Very similar effect.

Quick question... Would you put a VND on the lenses first, then this filter, or would you put the mist filter on first then VND on top? (I assume Mist would be last one to go on, but want to check!)

Looks incredible! By the way, was that a pitch meetings reference at 2:46?

Would've loved to see more side to side comparisons of No Filter vs 1/8 + added contrast.

So when they manufacture these, are they using Vaseline or hairspray? I need to invent a diffuser to stick to my face. Or my bathroom mirror…🤔

Hate to be "that guy" but I'd personally love to see a 4x4 matte box option. Also, would love to see you do a video on those matte box filters you mentioned. Having some comparisons amongst the strengths and the various models would be super helpful.

Matte box filters are being considered. As I said in the video as I don’t use them that’s why I wanted circular. I’ve a video on diffusion filters from 2 or 3 years ago if you want to see others. I didn’t want to make this a Bloom Gold Vs Others video as it would be massively too long. I wanted to showcase my filters as much as possible. Most people who have used diffusion filters know what to look for I would guess. I will find that link for you.
