77mm Black Mist Filter 1/8 + 3pcs Cleaning Cloth with 18 Multi-Layer Coatings Nano-Klear Series
SKU: KF01.2196V1
I have to say this filter isn't for everyone, as it stylizes your photo or video in frame, and it may be tedious to try to remove the effect. To use this filter effectively creatively, you need to think about how you want the shot to be and if this filter warrants that effect.
I shoot primarily photos, and I think this is an interesting filter to use creatively. It creates a dream-like look in your photos and performs best when used in daylight or with lights. I haven't been able to use it as much as I'd like, as the shots I've been taking didn't warrant the filter. I feel that this filter would be best used for wedding photographers and couples portraits as some clients would want that dream-like style, and they could see instant results in camera and either decide to shoot more like that or less. This is still a great filter to have on hand for those just in case situations, as I feel trying to make the same effect in post would be more time-consuming.

Creates bloom effect around specular, bright highlights to add that dreamy, warm look to your pictures making them soft and pleasant to look at. If you're curious to try something new in your photography journey, this might be the best diffusion filter to get started with as it provides high quality for low cost.
This filter is sturdy, fits tightly onto lens and doesn't affect quality of your pictures thanks to its coatings.
It has a diffusion strength of 1 which which might not be good choice for everyday use, as it does decrease a little bit of light and contrast which you may have to compensate for, but if you're interested in creating that special noticeable dreamy effect on certain occasions - go for it.
Overall it's amazing filter, as most of K&F Concept brand lineup for on-budget shooters.

I've attached an image of an imperfect pumpkin.
The picture on the left was taken at 100mm on my Sony A7iv without a filter. The image on the right was taken with the K&F Black Diffusion 1 filter attached.
It's not the same as taking a picture of a person (unless you know someone with a deep orange complexion), but because of this punkin's slightly rough "complexion," you can see that those imperfections are dialed down just a bit. If this were a human face, it might be just enough to cover up any of the small marks that seem to be highlighted by razor sharp digital images.
I'm new to black diffusion filters, but this particular one makes me want to do some test drives with my human friends (!) to see if they like the results. Like I said, it's really subtle, but that sure beats the ridiculous "face smoothing" filters and features some people add to their images that make them look like something from a wax museum.
Also, I noticed it darkened the image slightly. Otherwise, I'm curious to learn more!

This is another quality filter from K&F Concept.
The diffusion strength 1 means the effect of blooming is very noticeable even during day time, and very strong glow for light sources at night.
It’s a good way to make your films unique and creative. With a little bit of color adjustment, the filter helps create a magical feel to the footage.
Overall I use it to create dramatic effects for some video production scenes, as well as for personal photos and videos.

I ordered a 62mm and 58mm filter to attach them permanently to my two prime lenses on a Fujifilm X-T5. I must say I am very impressed with the packing and quality of these filters. They arrived in flawless condition which I didn't get with a much more expensive brand (not naming it here but they came dirty and scratched!). The diffusion effect with the 1/8 strength is perfect for daily use and I highly recommend these over the big name brands out there.

Haven't directly compared to a pro mist, but it's good enough that I don't feel compelled to.
Will buy more!

Not "overly aggressive" as some diffusion filters can be and about half the price of others. Adds a nice "glow" to lights which helps mimic the look given by uncoated, vintage lenses. Highly recommend.
