Excellent filter. Gives your portraits a film look. Turns wonderful things into highlights in certain situations. Highly recommended.

I have the 1 and it looks amazing. The filter is well made, the thread is the same on both sides, so that ND filters fit well. it could be cheaper to buy, but it made my work a little more interesting.

The filter is slim and made of aluminum. The sides have really nice grooves, make using the filter very smooth. Great glass. Actually scratch-resistant. Took out my keys and hey no scratches. Thumbs up.

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.

You can see from the images, this makes your image more cinematic, it does add a bit of a soft touch to your images. This filter paired with my Sony A7S III and 24-105mm F4, gives me a whole new perspective! So happy with this purchase!

This is an excellent black mist filter, it feels great, installs smoothly, and feels sturdy. Although I haven't tested its scratch resistance, I believe in K & F's products.

I use this for street photography, portraits and car photography, great dream-like effects and any glaring light turns into a soft glow.

It works well for creating a blur effect that is difficult to create in video post-production. I would also recommend the 1/4 or 1/2 power version as the effect is sometimes too strong.
