From the creator
Reggie shoots this with a Moment CineBloom 5% diffusion filter on the lens most of the time - a touch of softness for the film look. For special scenarios he swaps in a 10%, or even a 20% for the full dreamy effect. The 5% has vanished from Amazon, so the gear link below goes to Tiffen's Black Pro-Mist 1/8 - by Moment's own comparison, the same subtle strength.

Camera compatibility
Originally created for the GR III - popular on the GR IV too. Every value dials straight in; the presets and settings are identical across bodies. The GR IV's newer sensor renders a touch warmer and brighter, so treat this as a starting point, not a guaranteed match; if it looks too warm, a small white-balance nudge toward blue brings it closer.
