52mm Black Mist Filter 1/8 + 3pcs Cleaning Cloth with 18 Multi-Layer Coatings Nano-Klear Series
SKU: KF01.2190V1
I have two of these K&F black mist filters -- the 1/2 and the 1/4. I like using these while shooting urban landscapes at night. I know people also use these to make their digital photography less sharp and more analog-like, which seems like a strange step back to me. I have several different photography accessories from this brand, and I've always been pleased with their performance to cost ratio. The filters screw on and off of my step up rings easily; the threads are flawless. The filter comes with some dry, disposable clothes which I find useless and a plastic case which is fine if you don't have another carrying option. The effect of the filter is consistent and very pleasant looking. There appears to be no shift in color from what I can tell. I'm no youtube camera reviewer, but I've tried to include some sample images of with and without the filter. BTW, a pro tip I found online is to buy all filters at 82mm and to use step-up rings for smaller lenses. The larger filters cost more, but all filters perform best in the middle. Plus, if you have large filters, they will always fit any lens when you inevitably upgrade to another lens.

This filter is great for anyone who wants that softer and smoother look to their photos/videos. It screws onto the end of your lens like you'd expect and holds well. I went out and took some sample photos with and without this filter on my Sony a6700 (see attached photos). As you can see, the Mist filter gives a nice softness to the image, and helps combat that "digital look" that a lot of modern DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras have. Notice the soft bloom that the filter creates around the clouds, and notice how it's missing in the image with no filter. There's almost a dreamlike aura compared to the image without the filter.
Overall, if you're looking to take smoother, less "digital looking" images, this is a great buy.

I have used this brand of lens in the past with zero issues. This lens works just the same. It spins on without any problems and can be rotated freely.

Note that this review is for the full 1 grade black diffusion filter from K&F Concept K series (Nano-K).
The 67mm circular filter is lightweight, made of aluminum that is precisely machined so that the rim fits perfectly. I was able to twist this onto the front of my Sigma 16mm lens smoothly. This is nice, with low reflection and anti-glaring. There is no detectable vignetting and it gives a softer edged "dreamy" cinema effect to shots.
Packed in a nice plastic, protective case and three microfiber cleaning cloths are included. This is a great addition to any photography toolkit.

This is a good quality filter that does what it says. The diffusion effect of the 1/8 strength is minimal but does what I wanted it to do; take the edge of the digital files a bit. The effect is subtle but noticeable. For a more pronounced effect I use the 1/4 strength.
I keep one of these filters on most of my lenses for daily use. I also combine this filter with other filters (nd filters) and it works just fine.
For daily use, the 1/8 strength is perfect, but for a noticeable effect, the 1/4 strength is needed in most situations.

I got this with the intention of creating a halation effect on my images. I LOVE how these look.

I didn't notice any color. Changing, it was an amazing price and it stays on whatever stop you leave it on. No X pattern and I didn't see any quality loss.
