Playing around with the Viltrox 25 "Air" lens. It weighs so little it's unnoticed on the camera. I added a Cinebloom filter to create a bit of halation effect when used in backlit situations. Obviously the Cinebloom softens the lens notably as well, but I like the overall effect especially when shooting with primes.

It’s a knock off, K&F shimmer diffusion 1. I actually prefer it to the cinebloom because the effect is about halfway between the CB 5% and 10%.
PS: note that diffusion filter effects vary pretty significantly with focal length. As an example, this filter is too strong on a 56mm lens, and so there I’ll use a ¼ black net for a very similar effect as above. By contrast, the ¼ black net effect isn’t even visible on the 25.
