82mm White Mist Filter Nano-Klear Series - 18 Multi-Layer Coatings for Portrait and Landscape Photography Cinematic Effect Filter
SKU: KF01.2345V1
Like with most everything K&F Concept makes, I love this thing!
I make YouTube videos with my son. He's got quite an imagination and I wanted this to see if we could pull off a dream sequence.
The filter arrived in a nice box containing a plastic carrying case with the filter inside. It was well packaged and nothing was damaged. They also include three microfiber clothes, which is great, but I'm starting to accumulate too many of them!
I put the filter on my camera and after playing with it for a bit, found that there are certain types of lighting situations that make this more effective. In some situations, I could barely notice the filter.
We haven't tried to film a dream sequence yet, but I'm figuring out how to get the most out of this filter and I'm sure we'll come up with something soon.
I really like this filter and would recommend it!

I like shooting urban scenes at night with lots of neon. This filter makes everything glow in a noticeable, but not obnoxious way. Any neon light in the background takes on a slightly milky look that can't be done in software--believe me I've tried endlessly, but can't make that work. I think this is because the creaminess is consistent throughout the composition, and for some reason tough to add artificially in post. That could be me, though. What this filter also does for me is present a concept of a somewhat foggy evening without the unpredictability of the weather, while also being subtle. What can I say? I like the soft glow!

Adds a really cool dreamy effect to my photos. Glass is nice and clear and I'm really happy with this. I also have tha black mist filter and this is nice to change it up once in awhile.

I was not sure of the effect I would get with this filter. When compared to a black diffusion filter, it gives you much more blooming effect across the frame. Highlights in the frame glow like nothing I’ve ever seen before at this price. The effect is super dreamy and adds a mystical look to your images and video. I think this filter will replace my 1/4 black mist filter I used when I wanted to bloom and smooth out the highlights from light sources and on the skin. This is an amazing filter that is sure to give your images and video a specific wow factor.

I like the dreamy look this filter creates to my portraits while still allowing a very sharp focus to remain. I haven't had a chance to use it much so I'll report back any abnormalities should I encounter any but so far it's bee a nice lens addition.

I am very familiar with black mist filters although this is actually the first time I used a white mist filter. The results are very similar to the black mist but hit the white a little as opposed to the blacks. This gives VERY SUBTLE results blending the lines between black and white. I usually always use a mist filter shooting video and shooting portraits which give a silky soft texture. The results aren't always seen depending on the subject and lighting but even if you can't see the difference its there. The quality of K&F filter is fantastic and definitely worth the price. I have a number of different size lens that require different size filters. I usually order a larger 77mm which is my largest lens requirement then use reducer rings to fit the smaller lens. I keep the reducer rings in my bag and switch as needed. As a corporate photographer, once I started using mist filters I use them 99% of the time I shoot.

So far all of my K&F Concept purchases have been satisfactory and this filter is no exception.
- Mounting the lens was smooth
- The White Diffusion effect is barely noticeable. In fact, I had to compare back and forth to see the difference. It is more noticeable on strong lights and contrast, for example, at night.
- Ironically, the coating seems to improve the contrast in many situations as it cuts out the glare. Luckily the contrast is mostly good and actually helps me take better photos.
Overall the filter is a win for me and stays on my lens most of the time.

I got this hoping to add some atmosphere to my landscape shots. I'll be honest, I can't really see much of a difference with it or without it. The shots with it may be a little softer, but it's only really noticeable at all when you zoom in.
It works better for portraits, but I'm not generally a portrait photographer. I will rate it on that, though.
Overall, whether this will do much for you probably depends a lot on what you're photographing. At least it's pretty inexpensive, so if you think it will be useful for you, it's worth a try.

This is a nicely made white mist diffusion filter. It adds a subtle diffusion to portraits. The effect is a bit more pronounced in shadow areas than a black mist diffusion filter.
This filter is nicely machined and feels high quality. It comes with a protective plastic case and three microfiber cleaning cloths.
This filter is relatively inexpensive and does a nice job. You can probably get the same effect in Photoshop without using the filter but, using the filter, reduces your post processing time.

This is another well constructed filter by K&F. Would be great to use to soften a well lit subject for portraits and cityscapes.
