62mm White Mist Filter Cinematic Effect Filter with 18 Multi-Layer Coatings for Portrait and Landscape Photography Nano-Klear

This filter provides a very light touch to photos. I believe K&F have it right in that it dials back contrast somewhat. The photo with the filter missing in its box is taken with the filter on the lens, and the other is without.

I forgot to take the filter off my lens when I next shot some other product photos and I immediately thought I should retake them. But looking at them I decided they looked pretty good in spite of the fact that this filter is for portraits. With just a hint of a softer appearance, they were still quite satisfactory and I liked them.

I think this is a pretty nice filter with a modest effect, and that's for the better. The construction is good and it's not very expensive. This would be a pleasant addition to some photographers' filter collection. Recommended.

Very nice lens filter. Optics are clear and threads fit perfectly. Comes with a plastic case and lens cleaners. Not the absolute best lens filter I have but not the worst. Given the price point no complaints

First time using this one of these filters let me say I'm impressed with this makes the picture look better.

This is another well constructed filter by K&F. Would be great to use to soften a well lit subject for portraits and cityscapes.

I am very familiar with black mist filters although this is actually the first time I used a white mist filter. The results are very similar to the black mist but hit the white a little as opposed to the blacks. This gives VERY SUBTLE results blending the lines between black and white. I usually always use a mist filter shooting video and shooting portraits which give a silky soft texture. The results aren't always seen depending on the subject and lighting but even if you can't see the difference its there. The quality of K&F filter is fantastic and definitely worth the price. I have a number of different size lens that require different size filters. I usually order a larger 77mm which is my largest lens requirement then use reducer rings to fit the smaller lens. I keep the reducer rings in my bag and switch as needed. As a corporate photographer, once I started using mist filters I use them 99% of the time I shoot.

This filter works great. I love the effect it gives. I got the 1/4 filter and don't regret it. It comes with a nice hard carrying case to protect the filter from smudges and breaks. I appreciate the microfiber towels it comes with to keep the lenses clean. I highly recommend this filter.

I'm a life-long photographer (DSLRs for 18 years) but I haven't shot more than a handful of photos with a diffuser before... mostly because I don't do a lot of portraiture, and because there really was a big difference between the economical diffusers and the expensive ones, the cheaper ones not really looking that professional.

Anyway, I decided to try this one. I'd love to write you a comprehensive, scientific, analytical review, but this filter has left me a bit baffled... but perhaps I'm just confused.

I've thought that diffuser filters are good for a few things:
1. Portraits - softening the skin
2. Making high-contrast images a bit "dreamy"
3. And maybe for giving a more dramatic effect for points of light in a low-light shot

The weird thing is, when I shot nearly identical shots with my Canon full-frame with and without the filter, I was actually getting sharper details and richer colors USING the diffuser! This of course, is not expected. Now, I was shooting hand-held, but I can't believe that in every case, I shot more steady when the filter was on than I did when it was off. But whatever it was, my test shots came out sharper and overall better WITH the filter. But to be honest, unless you peek at the pixel level, there was no noticeable difference when looking at the full image.

I suspect it comes down to focal range and that a diffuser works better with close-up shots... yet my static shots of highly-detailed subjects hardly showed a difference at all.

However... in the scenario where a diffuser is most likely to be desirable - portraits with natural skin... I DID see a difference... subtle, but definitely a softer touch to textured skin.

So... I can recommend this for portrait shots... and I can even recommend it for landscape shots - I'm just not sure WHY they came out slightly better with the filter!

This is a nicely made white mist diffusion filter. It adds a subtle diffusion to portraits. The effect is a bit more pronounced in shadow areas than a black mist diffusion filter.

This filter is nicely machined and feels high quality. It comes with a protective plastic case and three microfiber cleaning cloths.

This filter is relatively inexpensive and does a nice job. You can probably get the same effect in Photoshop without using the filter but, using the filter, reduces your post processing time.

I use this filter for one of my Tamron zoom lenses. I like the subtle softening effect for portraits, especially in an outdoor setting, where there's a lot of contrast. I don't recommend it too much outside of portraits or nature photography, since that is when I think the softening effects looks best. The lens itself is really good quality, and screws in easy. You can even screw it in and layer it with other k&f lenses

The White mist filter makes my photos look softer and more romantic.
