Nice 82mmm soft white diffusion filter that fits the majority of my Nikon Z lenses.

It gives a nice effect to portraits of women where it smooths-out and suppresses fine detail (especially in the highlights) while lowering the overall contrast for a dreamy look..

I love comparing mist filters and K&F are currently the main filter company in my kit.
This white mist filter is adds a nice bloom to the highlights but it doesn't seem to raise the shadow detail like a black mist filter does.
This is almost always on my 135 as it is perfect for portraits.

K&F Concept has been doing a good job of providing quality accessories at a price that non-professionals can afford. This filter is no exception. The build quality is excellent, and to my untrained eye, the image quality is great. I also like that it comes in a hard plastic case.

This filter provides an even overall softening of the image, and causes specular highlights to bloom. If you don't have hot spots in the image, you might not see much of an effect with this filter though. To that end, I think even using a polarizing filter in conjunction with it might lessen the effect too. Overall though, while I wouldn't use this filter all the time, I like the effect is has in certain situations.

The White mist filter can make my photos look softer and dreamier.

I have this on my lens around 75 percent of the time I shoot. It does a good job of slightly softening skin (without losing sharpness), adding some halation (light blooms) when shooting into a light source, and lessening contrast. In many situations, the effect is subtle, but if there's a strong light source in your shot, it can be extreme. Probably too extreme, unless you're really looking for that "dreamy" look. Like all tools, you need to learn it to use it properly.

Mist filters can be somewhat duplicated in post-processing, but not perfectly. If you are looking to get that soft look in-camera, you'll need them. With that said, it is just another thing I have to take with me, and so I probably won't be using it all that much. As for the filter itself, K&F always makes some decent gear, and these filters are no exception. They are well-made and the effect is subtle and not overpowering.

I like this filter, that being said I have to say that a lot of people who buy this or other filters have the wrong idea about what they do or can do for their photography. I say that because professional reviews which show what these filters do as well as the Amazon reviews pretty much indicate that there are times when you really see very little difference between filter/no filter shots. Basically, a White Mist filter tends to give a shot a brights dreamier look by diffusing (expanding the light/light area), but you WILL NOT see it in every photo and every situation and in some situations, you will not see any appreciable difference at all.

So, while I recommend the filter, I would also recommend that anyone looking to buy one take a long look into when, where, and why you want to use a White mist filter and what it can do for you. I say that because I think too many people bring in unrealistic expectations into what their photographic gear can do for them as opposed to what proper composition and control of the lighting should do for them instead (I include myself in that observation about unrealistic expectations because I am just beginning to use more filters and at first I thought that using filters would make a huge difference most pf the time, when really most of the photos I take it wouldn't matter if I had a filter or not). What I would recommend is that if you haven't already, look into what the filters can and cannot do and perhaps look for a good book/tutorial on lighting and filters (although the cost of the filters is not much, buying a variety of them to fit all of your lenses adds up when often you are not really ready for them yet).

The effect is subtle in most situations, but it does help cut down on the harsh digital sharpness of a modern camera. I've been using it mostly for portraits to soften skin a tad, but I really want to try this on lights at night, like some other reviews have mentioned. Nicely made filter though, with smooth threads and clean optics. K&F makes some really nice stuff!

The effect of this filter is very suitable for shooting architecture and cityscapes.

I got this hoping to add some atmosphere to my landscape shots. I'll be honest, I can't really see much of a difference with it or without it. The shots with it may be a little softer, but it's only really noticeable at all when you zoom in.

It works better for portraits, but I'm not generally a portrait photographer. I will rate it on that, though.

Overall, whether this will do much for you probably depends a lot on what you're photographing. At least it's pretty inexpensive, so if you think it will be useful for you, it's worth a try.
