Handheld Ripple FX Filter

The 100mm CORE size slots right into my matte box without any adapters, and the ripple effect it throws on background lights is exactly the dreamy texture I was after. It feels solidly built for handheld shooting, too.

I went with the 100mm CORE since my matte box already handles the wider glass, and the size lines up perfectly. The ripple effect itself is subtle enough to look natural on water but strong enough to read clearly on camera.

Grabbed the 150mm FULL version and the ripple effect is exactly the dreamy undulation I wanted in my water shots. Being handheld means I can reposition it mid-shoot in seconds, and the 150mm covers my wider lenses without vignetting.
