Very subtle through the viewfinder, but there is a noticeable affect on exposure time. For achieving a vintage portrait look, this thing is fantastic, especially when coupled with a manual focus legacy lens - I have mine on a Rikenon 50mm. Sharpness is greatly reduces, but not in a "cheap lens" way, just a subtle and even softening. This brings to mind the famous Pentax "soft focus" portrait lenses of the 70s, but is a far less blurred image. Handy to have in the kit bag, but not really good for much other than portraiture. I have yet to try a K&F product that I am not absolutely impressed by.

I have watched different films noticing the use of diffusers. I really did a lot of comparing black matt filters.
This one is perfect. I get the softening without it being noticeable.
This is really a high quality filter. I am very happy with it.

El filtro es ideal para lograr composiciones fotográficas creativas. Cuenta con un estuche que asegura que esté bien protegido el guardarlo. Su ajuste al objetivo es perfecto.

Technically, we've definitely got to a point where the cameras are so good that much of the magic has been lost. Diffusion seems like a great way to bring some of that flavor back into your creative work. Atrium and softer edges without the highlights blooming into a soft, warm mess.

I am very happy with the filter. The strength 1 is optimal and creates a great "hazy / foggy" effect.

Shot a couple of cars and I love the finished product! I haven't had the pleasure of shooting portraits with it, but wow, I'm blown away.

Bought it for my mirrorless camera. I love the effect that is out there, much like filters used in films like Minority Report and War of the Worlds by Steven Spielberg, it gives a softer, more diffuse, dream-like image. It's pretty strong, check out examples online to see how other strengths compare.

It adds the right amount of haze for portraits to make it stylistic. It doesn't add too much in my opinion and the image is still pretty sharp. I've included a test shot below that I took of a friend in direct sunlight with a star filter and an ND filter.
