This K&F Concept black diffusion filter creates a very, very cool dreamy effect while still keeping the picture in sharp focus. I'm using it with my Fuji X-T100, and I am super happy with the results. The filter screws on perfect (no issues with the body of it filter) and doesn't create any vignette-ing even when used over my UV filter.
The images I'm taking with the filter are nice and clear, but with the dreamy, slightly grainy film-like effect that mist filters like this are supposed to give. I love that I can get the effect without applying filters when editing. The filter also sort of gives a softer effect to faces, so it is great for portraits. I'm using the 1/4 filter, so the effect is gentle. The greater the number of the filter the greater the effect produced.

This filter is not one that I used to regularly carry in my bag, as I assumed it functioned primarily as a mix between an ND filter and a soft filter. But, given the chance to use it for a few days, I realized I was wrong! The 1/4 black diffusion filter (there's also a stronger 1/2 filter) is mostly used for its softening effect on faces, where it can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes. In that role, it works, although perhaps a bit too much for some photos. I shoot outside landscapes and architectural shots more than portraits, where the filter reduces glare and reflections. It's also good for throwing backgrounds out of focus more than the camera itself manages. The effect, at first glance, are subtle but they are visible in a side-by-side comparison. Mostly, there's a "glow" effect to shots that is quite appealing. The quality of the filter is high, and I use it now almost as a default on my primary 85mm and 105mm lenses. Nice filter.

Really nice quality filter, comparable to more expensive brands. Has that black pro mist look. Softens things and gives lights a bit of glow. The he 1/4 does enough but id be curious to play with the stronger versions too.

Finally a filter that gives softness to my images without neglecting the details. It also corrects small imperfections on close-ups without detracting from image quality.

This K&F Black Diffusion Filter is an excellent kit. It reduces the contrast, makes the black tones a little grayer and ensures a gentle bloom around the highlights. There are four filter strengths available; from weakest to strongest, they are 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1.

The pictures I take with the filter are nice and clear, but with the dreamy, slightly grainy film effect that fog filters like this one are supposed to give. I love that I can get the effect without applying filters while editing. The filter also gives faces a softer effect, making it great for portraits.

This black diffusion filter from K&F Concept creates a very, very cool, dreamy effect, while the image remains sharp. The filter can be screwed on perfectly (no problems with the body of the filter) and does not produce any vignetting even when used over my UV filter.

Very suitable for taking pictures of silky water. Good quality glass and threads are essential for any serious photographer.
