I like the soft, skin smoothing image that a black diffusion filter gives your images and video. Not having to pay the ridiculously high cost of the other brands makes this offer that much better. When compared to my more expensive version of this filter, I could not see any major differences.

The image that this filter creates is very cinematic. It softens up what is generally a clinically sharp image or video footage from my cameras. Sometimes that sharpness is great, but other times i just prefer the misty ghostly effect that this filter creates in specific environments. The effects are not always visible if you do not have high contrast areas. By softening the image, it also softens the skin and reduces some of the unnecessary details.

If you want to add a different look to your images or footage, this is a great filter to own.

I use it on my Fujifilm XF56 F1.2 and it works great! It installs easily and is clear glass. No issues

This is a nice filter for portrait photography. The effect is very subtle and may not be noticeable in all situations. I like how it softens just a bit. The filter looks and feels good quality. I'm using it with a Canon M50.

I have several lens filters from K&F Concept and I've been very happy with the quality of the glass and coatings as well as the workmanship. I am am very much an amateur photographer (but a very enthusiastic one) and I have several cameras and quite a few lenses and I've been trying to build a collection of different types of filters for each as I learn more about what they can do. I like having a core set of the filter types that I will most use for each lens. I have heard a lot of pros and cons, but I have also decided to follow a suggestion from several photographers to focus (ha, ha!) on amassing a set of 82 mm lens filters that would also work with any or all of my smaller lenses with the appropriate step-up rings. That way I can cut the costs, especially when considering a specialty filter that I wouldn't necessarily use often. This is my first purchase of an 82 mm lens filter, and as expected, the quality is excellent. The effect is rather subtle and it does help soften images, so think it will work nicely with certain portraits and close-ups. I'm wondering if I would have been better off with a filter with a 1/4 factor that might be used more often. The title/heading for this lens filter states that it is water-proof and this is also stated in the full description. But in the summary just above the 'about this product' section of the description it is mentioned that the filter is not water-resistant at all. I'm going to assume it is water-resistant, not water-proof. The price seems very reasonable and the lens filter arrived with a nice sturdy case.

I am a fan of K&F Concept photography gear because the quality is always very good with affordable pricing. This filter follows that trend. The threading is perfect and the glass without flaw. I ordered the 58mm for my Nikkor "nifty 50" lens. This filter threads perfectly into my UV filter, or directly onto the lens. While software can create endless effects, capturing an effect in camera saves time and in many ways is more natural looking. At 1/8, this filter's effects are subtle, which is often just what you want. Highly recommended.

K&F always delivers good quality and well-built products. This lens filter is no different. The filter softens the overall look, without killing the contrast, or the dynamic range of the shot.

There are very few filter makers that I would trust to adjust my focus with an attachment and K&F is one of my favorites.

I’ve been very happy using the K&F Concept 82mm Black Diffusion 1/4 filter on my clinically-sharp Sigma Art lenses, so I decided to try this 1/8 version for cases where a bit less diffusion might be best.

In limited testing, my results so far have been mixed. Or maybe that’s the point of this filter. Sometimes there’s very little difference between the 1/8 and 1/4 strengths, and sometimes the same is true for 1/8 versus no filter at all. That, of course, tells me this filter is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.

My challenge is going to be deciding which of the two, if any, to use for a given photo. But photography has been a lifelong learning experience, and I expect that to continue.

This filter from K&F Concept is well-made, with effective multi-coating. The visual effect is very pleasing, and I’m glad I decided to add it to my photo kit. Five stars.

I have been using the 1/4 diffusion filter from K&F for a while and it has produced many beautiful results. That is a stringer diffusion filter than this 1/8 filter and softens the highlights much more. This 1/8 filter is very nice, however. By itself, it doesn't do a ton but does smooth things out enough to be worth the purchase. I have experimented with stacking the 1/4 and 1/8 filters and it does seem to work but filter science is proven when there is more ghosting and visible flare. DFefinitly recommend having both the 1/8 and 1/4 in your collection for constant use as it helps balance and smooth the composition. In all my use, I haven't noticed a lot of vignetting or flare when using a single lens, but when combining the two both of these aspects are much more pronounced.

When you're looking for just a touch of softness and just a subtle glow in the highlights, this K&F 1/8 black diffusion filter works perfectly, especially when photographing women. It gives a subtle smoothing to skin tones without blurring any of the details, and a slight lowering of contrast where the shadows become slightly lighter.

If you're looking for that super smooth skin tone look (where you can't make out the skin's pores), and you want that dreamy glow/bloom in the highlights, you should choose the stronger back diffusion versions of this filter.

I have found the K&F brand to be a step above all of the medium to low-priced filters on the market today. I have several different K&F filters and have been happy with all of them. I especially like the knurling they incorporate into the ring and if you compare their packaging to other brands, you will see it's superior. The plastic boxes their filters come in are much higher quality and are easier to open and close than the cheaper brands.

I am not a professional photographer so my comments are based on an everyday person who just likes to take pictures. This is a nicely made filter with an aluminum frame and nice quality glass. This fit onto the end of my Canon lens perfectly.

In before and after pictures, I did notice a slight softening of the image that I could describe as a "misty look" when using this filter. Of course, depending on the lighting and the subject, it may be slightly more pronounced.

I do have a few K&F filters and I am pleased with the quality of all of their filters. Being an amateur photographer, I find that these filters provide me with opportunities to up my game.
