I had used a popular UV filter before. It's not bad. Only under certain conditions would there be glare or aberration. For the most part it worked fine. But it still bugged me. So I ordered this K&F UV filter. WOW! What a difference! The glass is SO clear you can't tell it's in the housing! And that is how clear my photos became with it on! Definitely worth the price difference! All my filters are now K&F brand. The quality is outstanding!

As most K&F products, the build quality of this filter is quite nice. The threads are smooth, filter ring is powder coated and then optics... well, hard to say they're clear or anything since they're a diffusion/soft filter, but the picture quality is still quite good. More on that later.

The filter comes in a circular filter case that is one of the neatest filter cases I've seen! If they don't sell those as products yet, they honestly could! There are raised partial circles that allow you to place all sized filters in the case, unlike most with a foam cutout (which, admittedly offers more padding). It would be nice for the filter case to have a small sticker on it to indicate what is basically on the box--"NANO series 52mm MRC Black Diffusion 1/4" in my case.

The optics look like a clear glass with a bunch of small grey dirt specks. That is the intended design. The effect it creates is a soft diffuse glow; a bloom effect. The contrast is lowered when using this black diffusion filter and overall it looks like a similar effect to a soft filter. The sharpness at the point of focus isn't too affected though, so it can still be used in portraiture as well as in other creative photography. Light sources will bloom when looking through this filter. I find the 1/4 strength to still be quite useful while the 1/2 an 1 may be more niche.

The product came in beautiful packaging and with a handy case that can be used to keep several filter sizes. The filter looks nice and without any glare. I took several photos, which look wonderful. I haven’t explored many lighting situations yet, but since my main reason for the filter is to protect the lens, I am satisfied.

I like that it has a subtle effect on my captured image, like a light mist. The diffusion filter fits perfectly on my Sony Aii lenses.

This is an excellent black mist filter, it feels great, installs smoothly, and feels sturdy. Although I haven't tested its scratch resistance, I believe in K & F's products.
