55MM HD1/8 Black Soft Magnetic Suction Filter,with Magnetic Attachment Ring and Magnetic Metal Cover
SKU: SKU.1836
This K&F black diffusion filter is a great kit. It reduces contrast, makes blacks slightly grayer, and provides a soft bloom around highlights. This 1/8 filter is the weakest, but it still makes a noticeable difference to the look of the images you take with it. . I was able to test it side by side with a Tiffen Black Pro Mist filter, and the results from each filter are extremely similar to the point where I don't really see a difference in the image, and I certainly couldn't say that the one or the other is better than the other. Both frames are made from aluminum alloy, and I think any aluminum frame can benefit from a little grease, even if it's just grease from the skin of your fingers that you rub on the nets. More expensive filters have brass frames which tend to be much smoother and don't stick. The K&F filter has approximately 1.25" deep machined grooves on each side of the filter, which provides excellent grip for your fingers when screwing/unscrewing the filter. One aspect in which K&F is the clear winner is that the K&F filter housing is far superior to the Tiffen housing; the Tiffen case is a square case in which the filter is loose on a piece of polystyrene, while the K&F case is superbly designed to hold the filter in place very securely thanks to a clever system of rubber grooves which can accommodate different sizes of filters. There is a filter thread at the front so you can stack another 77mm filter on top. Overall I find this to be an excellent quality filter that is roughly on par with the quality of Tiffen filters. It's a useful tool to have in a camera kit and well worth investing in.

Similar to expensive pro mist type filters, this gives the look a more cinematic sheen to videos and photos as it adds a slight haze to the look of the image. The filter gives lights a hazy effect without affecting sharpness and it also smoothes skin tones. All in all a nice filter that fits the camera and protects it and is better to have than a cheap UV filter. The glass doesn't stick to oil or fingerprints, so you don't have to constantly wipe it.

I ordered the 55mm Black Soft Diffusion 1/8 effect filter to use with my Nikon D5600. I'm a beginner, but I enjoy the effects of this filter, especially in daylight. The effect is subtle but effective. There's a nice bloom and minimal color change. No loss in image quality was observed. Thread on the filter makes it easier to screw onto the lens of my camera. Well packaged. Useful filter to have a wide variety of settings at hand.

Overall very satisfied with the filter, great quality, I bought the 52mm version, used 2 of my kit lenses and no problems. Very easy to install and remove from the lens. Easy to clean. Should last a long time.

Well done and add a very subtle change to your photos and videos to make them feel more real. Adds a slight smoothness and keeps the sharpness well Great product that is sold with a sturdy protective case.

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. This 1/8 filter is the weakest, but it still makes a noticeable difference to the look of the pictures you take with it.

This filter made a deep impression on me, I really didn't expect it to be so useful for video production. I think it's enough for me to shoot a video on a sunny day.
