This threaded easily onto my lens. It does produce a softened effect to images, which will be good in select applications and lighting situations. Although a similar effect could be achieved in lightroom in post-processing, this allows the ability to produce these effects straight out of the camera.

It feels solid and well made.

If you're looking for this effect, this filter is a good choice to achieve it.

I’ve been using this filter on my Rokinon 16mm cine lens mainly at concerts that use hazers and I am truly loving the results. Screws on easily and no issues with unscrewing to remove. No color shifting, but this is definitely a stylistic look so apply it wisely.

Since the advent of digital photography, I haven't been a big filter guy... I use circular polarizers and neutral density filters to create the image - then move to software in the computer to apply the desired effects.

When given the opportunity to try K&F's Black Mist Filter - I jumped at it, as a good filter of this type can save a lot of time in post-processing - particularly when used for video.

A black mist type filter is designed to push highlights while preserving the shadows - and the effect is to create a dreamy, hazy kind of look without destroying the contrast of the image. Portrait photographers use these types of filters to help eliminate the excessively sharp image quality of modern digital photographs - and do so without making the image appear out-of-focus.

Another attribute is that it can help improve the bokeh (out-of-focus areas) so that a lower quality lens can have smoother, creamier bokeh.

The first thing I noticed was that the threads of the filter were extremely precise in fitting my step-up ring. The filter screwed on the ring with the smoothness you would expect from a high-end filter.

I took a few selfies while finding different lighting to experiment with - and I was surprised at how well it held good focus while creating the desired look. I can see myself using this in a variety of filming circumstances. All in all I'm very pleased with this filter and would recommend it to anyone looking to add to their arsenal of photography tools.

Creates bloom effect around specular, bright highlights to add that dreamy, warm look to your pictures making them soft and pleasant to look at. If you're curious to try something new in your photography journey, this might be the best diffusion filter to get started with as it provides high quality for low cost.

This filter is sturdy, fits tightly onto lens and doesn't affect quality of your pictures thanks to its coatings.
It has a diffusion strength of 1 which which might not be good choice for everyday use, as it does decrease a little bit of light and contrast which you may have to compensate for, but if you're interested in creating that special noticeable dreamy effect on certain occasions - go for it.

Overall it's amazing filter, as most of K&F Concept brand lineup for on-budget shooters.

Excellent built quality…the effect is a little stronger, I will recommend the 1/8 which I also have and love. But I was looking for a more vintage look. Excellent value for the money.

Nice diffusion/halation effect on and around highlights, doesn’t break the bank when searching for a diffusion filter like tiffen does. Excellent build quality. Definitely recommend this filter

This is a pretty good quality K&F filter. Fits nicely on my Sony GM lenses. The82mm threat is very smooth, nice fit. The mist from the filter is very slight, you have to really pay attention to see the mist effects. Which is great for certain photo styles. But I like how it works.

Very subtle effect that I feel can be done in post, I don't hate it and I can see the merit but I don't think I'll be reaching for it often.

High quality feel and fit perfectly on the 40MM Canon pancake lens. Cap fits over it nicely as well. on top of that. Nice little hardy foam lined carry case as well for storage. I like playing with different practical effects and filters but not my favorite. Soft subtle diffusion effect, classic/retro look. Maybe if you want to do soft soft retro style photos it'll have a spot in your kit.

It is much subtle compared to K&F Nano X 1/4 but it beats Nano X on colour cast as it doesn’t have one! This is the current filter I use alongside with my VND. Bare in mind mist effect isn’t as strong as Nano X series Recommended.

Happy with the quality and the outcome
