Hi Isaac! Ohh I believe I have the Urth VND and the Moment VND linked. Currently I actually use yet again a different one haha :,D I need to update the links. Moment recently released their VND+Cinebloom filters, so that people like me do not need to stack the filters on top of each other, which is great. I've been using that one for a month or two now and it's been great!
If you prefer to keep the filters separate though, here are my thoughts: Both VNDs are good, but I'd say Moment's is higher quality, but Urth's can go way darker. However I believe Urth is soon going to launch a new VND, which looks very promising, so you might want to wait for that.
The Cinebloom filter has become one of my favourite things. I like it at 10%.
At 20% I think it's very noticeable, which is good for certain projects, but I think it's too much for my taste. The 5% one on the other hand is so subtle that I feel the need for just a bit more. And so the 10% filter sits right in the middle as the perfect middle ground option that I think looks great while not being distracting.
When I stacked the filters I first applied the Cinebloom and then stacked the VND on top. I think with the way the screwing system works that was the easier way to do it. :)

Thank you, Teo! Quick question, you have 2 VND filters on your links, which one do you use more frequently? Also, do you use the cinebloom filter on top or below the vnd filter? And are you using a 10% cinebloom? Iām conflicted on which one would best serve my purposes and if I should get one for my 40 mm and one for my 24 to 70. Thanks!!
