Very subtle effect that I feel can be done in post, I don't hate it and I can see the merit but I don't think I'll be reaching for it often.

High quality feel and fit perfectly on the 40MM Canon pancake lens. Cap fits over it nicely as well. on top of that. Nice little hardy foam lined carry case as well for storage. I like playing with different practical effects and filters but not my favorite. Soft subtle diffusion effect, classic/retro look. Maybe if you want to do soft soft retro style photos it'll have a spot in your kit.

Since the advent of digital photography, I haven't been a big filter guy... I use circular polarizers and neutral density filters to create the image - then move to software in the computer to apply the desired effects.

When given the opportunity to try K&F's Black Mist Filter - I jumped at it, as a good filter of this type can save a lot of time in post-processing - particularly when used for video.

A black mist type filter is designed to push highlights while preserving the shadows - and the effect is to create a dreamy, hazy kind of look without destroying the contrast of the image. Portrait photographers use these types of filters to help eliminate the excessively sharp image quality of modern digital photographs - and do so without making the image appear out-of-focus.

Another attribute is that it can help improve the bokeh (out-of-focus areas) so that a lower quality lens can have smoother, creamier bokeh.

The first thing I noticed was that the threads of the filter were extremely precise in fitting my step-up ring. The filter screwed on the ring with the smoothness you would expect from a high-end filter.

I took a few selfies while finding different lighting to experiment with - and I was surprised at how well it held good focus while creating the desired look. I can see myself using this in a variety of filming circumstances. All in all I'm very pleased with this filter and would recommend it to anyone looking to add to their arsenal of photography tools.

I have used 1/4 and 1/8 filters but I have never seen the 1 before. If you are familiar with the look that a mist filter provides then imagine that look greatly amplified. This filter creates a dreamy like look and gives a creamy smooth appearance to the skin. It blurs background lights a good bit. It’s like adding a lot of haze to the environment you are shooting in without sacrificing all of the detail and depth.

This effect can be too much for certain situations and taste and should be used with intention. This will definitely enhance your creativity in your work.

The effect from using a black diffusion filter can be quite beautiful in the right circumstances. This filter provides that at a great price without sacrificing built quality.

It does as advertised, but it’s not the thickest piece of glass. Tiffen is a much better option for protection

This filter performs every bit as well as the brands that cost four times as much. The softer image is perfect for using with high res cameras that make your footage look "too real." If you are shooting video or still, you have to give this a try.

It works very actively, it might be nice to have a set to adjust the effect.

I like this filter. It is so dreamy. That's the trend going around and this filter didn't disappoint. I was able to capture some beautiful footage at Christmas where the lights bloom so wonderfully. The one-stop of diffusion works out so nicely. I do wish I got some lower levels because I really enjoy playing with this diffusion. I have a bunch of K&F filters and I think they have some of the best quality for the price.

Le filtre permet d’obtenir de beaux effets dans les hautes lumières et de réduire légèrement le contraste global. Dans les bonnes conditions, cela donne un rendu cinématique aux photos. Je l’utilise sur un 85mm 1.8 (67mm diamètre de filtre) et pour ce prix je suis très content du résultat !

This is a pretty good quality K&F filter. Fits nicely on my Sony GM lenses. The82mm threat is very smooth, nice fit. The mist from the filter is very slight, you have to really pay attention to see the mist effects. Which is great for certain photo styles. But I like how it works.
