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!

I normally use 1/8 strength diffusion filters which just lowers the contrast a bit and adds some bloom to the highlights. I was shooting a project where I wanted a bit more of a dreamy look to it so I wanted to try this as it should be just a bit strong than a 1/8th strength but not make my footage look too dreamy looking. It did indeed do just that. I noticed so real color cast with this filter. I got stronger bloom in the highlights and just gave my footage a softer more film like look.
Just be sure you want a stronger effect that a 1/4 filter can give you. If it's too strong K&F does make a 1/16 strength black diffusion filter that is excellent.
The magnetic system works very well. I wish all filters used this type of easy to use quick release system.

So far so good. It adds the right amount of haze for portraits to make it's stylistic. It doesn't add too much in my opinion, and the picture is still pretty sharp.
I included a test shot below, which I took of a friend of mine in direct sunlight with a star filter and a ND filter as well (with this filter below)

I have watched different films noticing the use of diffusers. I really did a lot of comparing black matt filters.
This one is perfect. I get the softening without it being noticeable.
This is really a high quality filter. I am very happy with it.

Product sent by supplier was wrong, ordered a 77mm and I received a 82mm, I've had to purchase an additional Step Down ring to convert it as I can't return as it'll take too much time. Other than that, I've played around with the filter already and it's a lot of fun and I'm excited to use it in upcoming projects.

I’ll be honest up front, I ordered this mistaking it for an ND filter, I’ve decided to keep this though as I really like the effect it produces.I’ve been getting into landscape photography and wanted an Nd filter but ordered this by mistake, after having a play and wanting to eventually push into portrait I decided to give it a try.The results are surprising good, it adds a nice glow to bright light sources that give the images some warmth.The filter is presented in a lovely case with rubber wedges inside that hold the filter in place so it doesn’t slip around.I can see me using this for product photography and portraits and so far have really enjoyed itPros- nice glow- gives images a warmer feel- excellent storage caseCons- none ( although keep in mind you may need to adjust exposure times slightly due to very minimal tint )
