Lovely filter, that gives a nice slightly soft feel to the shot and a lovely starburst, works well for nighttime street photography
Did not break the bank either

I shoot a lot of 35mm film using old vintage film cameras and lenses. I love the softness and character that you get out of these old lenses and film stocks. I find modern cameras and lenses to be so sharp and perfect that they almost look boring.

I decided to try this filter after trying others like it, and I’m extremely happy with the results. It provides a nice softness to the photos that almost gives them a painting sort of look. Some might find 1/4 to be too much, so the 1/8 might be a better choice. I personally like the extra softness, and I would recommend this filter to anyone. It is a solid and high quality product.

I do a lot of outdoor family photography and normally use a variable neutral density filter to open up the aperture for good bokeh (shallow depth of field). So I thought I would try this filter out without my neutral density filter and see what kind of results I would get. I was completely blown away!

The beautiful dreamy look with the sunlight and the skin tones was just absolutely stunning. I wanted to keep my aperture (F-Stop) low around 2.8 to 4.0 and my ISO at 200. So I just simply increased my shutter speed to around 200, which was actually helpful to keep a sharp focus. These settings allowed me to then use this filter by itself and still capture the right amount of light without overexposing.

Immediately after taking the first few photos, when I looked on the LCD screen it was just amazing. The sunlight coming in behind the subject was very surreal and her skin tones were just perfect. Another way to explain visually what I saw was, skin tones and curves were not rigid and sharp but smooth and glamorous. Obviously there are sometimes when you don't want that glamor soft look but for those times when you do, this is absolutely well worth the money.

As a professional photographer I would say, if you don't have this filter in your bag, you're missing out on some great photos.

I've purchased far more expensive black mist filters, and for the value price of an 82mm K&F Concept one I wasn't expecting this to be equal to those. I wish I'd known last year when I bought a pair of 1/4 diffusers in a smaller filter and saved a lot. I would highly recommend these over the pricier filters.

Just about every lense accessory I've purchased in the last year or two has been from K&F.
Black Diffusion 1/8 - 1/4 - 1
Mist
Variable ND's
UV Filter
CPL Filters
GoPro ND's
DJI ND's
20+ Cleaning Kits

All have been top notch, Now i wouldn't know what the difference between this, and a filter thats like 10 times the ask, but these all work perfectly for me.

This lense I would describe as a very Hollywood Noire like look, Its a very heavy look. @ 1 vs the quarter and eighth
I like the texture on the filter, makes it so you dont have to fight to get the filter off

Overall everything i've bought from K&F has been perfect, and done exactly what it says for me at my experience level

In terms of filters, it feels like K&F is making some good ones. This is a nice filter, and well made. The effect on this one is fairly strong, but if it's the effect you're looking for, then this is a good filter to get it. The diffusion is nice and soft, and the materials all feel good. It threads nicely on a lens, and feels like it should hold up well in the future.

This filter adds a bit of Halation effect to your footage. So if that's what you're looking for this is the item!

Bueno si quieres darle un estilo diferente, tengo que ser sincero es mucho 1/4 pero da un efecto de sueño, tengo el mismo en 1/8 y de maravilla para el día y la noche.

It is much subtle compared to K&F Nano X 1/4 but it beats Nano X on colour cast as it doesn’t have one! This is the current filter I use alongside with my VND. Bare in mind mist effect isn’t as strong as Nano X series Recommended.

Honestly, the effect from this filter can be done variably with the drag of a slider in post-production without losing the original sharpness. However, if you want this exact diffusion for your work, it's hard not to recommend this one for the price.
