55mm 1/2 Black Diffusion Filter Optical Glass Filter Coating with Three Pieces of Vacuum Cleaning Cloth Nano-Klear Series
SKU: KF01.2182V1
An excellent filter from a company I trust. K&F make superb filters and I own several of them. They're a step up from other filter manufacturers and it shows in their attention to detail.
This ⅛ black diffusion filter adds just a touch of skin-smoothing-softness to your images which is very flattering to women's skin and unnoticeable to most people; it just looks natural. Highlights only have a very slight halo around them and the contrast of your image will be only slightly reduced; the blacks won't be quite as black.
This all adds up to be a great filter when you are shooting portraits. And if you want more diffusion you can order stronger variations of black diffusion. See their Amazon description for a comparison of the different strengths of black diffusion.

This is a bit of a niche filter, but I like the effect it provides and it fits my lenses. There doesn't appear to be any negative effects of color casting. I'm glad I have it as an option.

You can’t go wrong with this filter if you need that filmic soft look I love it

So if you are looking at this review, you probably already know what a black diffusion filter does. If not, then let me just tell you that it basically lowers contrast and makes the highlights bloom a little more than they usually do. It doesn't exactly soften the focus, but it does soften the overall image.
Now to the filter...K&F builds a well-constructed filter. I buy a lot of my filters from K&F, and they have never disappointed in terms of using quality material, a pleasing design that doesn't announce its presence on my camera lens, and glass that doesn't affect my very expensive optics. This filter provides about what I expect from a 1/8th Black diffuser (black mist) in terms of the overall effect. and you just really can't go wrong with anything that K&F produces.
So if you're looking to make lights bloom, without softening your portraits to almost unusable levels, this is the filter for you. It has definitely earned a place in my camera bag.

I've had prior positive experience with a K&F Concept product, so was willing to try out this Mist Filter. The quality is excellent and the 1/8 filter creates a subtle effect. I like the dark misty bokeh it created when I used it indoors. In bright daylight, I didn't notice much effect. My only real usage will be for softer portraits in more subtle lighting times, and it's a great tool for that.

Have had so much luck with all my K&F filters for my few lens great additions for the price.

The best way to create soft lighting without needing special equipment. Now it is noticable that on stronger lenses you will get skin softening too. So your images will be less sharp. I would recommend a soft or medium strenght at best. Unless thats what you want.

It does create a unique look, and I don't think it is something that could be easily done in post-processing. It is thin and lightweight and easily fits in my filter pouch. With that said, I don't think that this will see much use for me. It's just not the kind of effect I will need often. I'm saying that as a photographer. If you are filming video, I think there are probably more valid use cases for this.

Has the same look and feel of a traditional promist filter, and much like K&F Concept's other filters, it does a fantastic job of that without any noticeable color cast or tinting, and without breaking the bank.
