62mm Black Mist 1/8 Filter Waterproof Mist Cinematic Effect Camera Lens Filter with 24 Multi-Coatings for Video/Vlog/Portrait Photography (Nano-Dazzle)

Excellent filter for softening the harsh light at midday when shooting landscapes and nature and also capable of adding some nice glow for artistic purposes depending on the position of the light source. Recommended!

The effect from this diffusion filter was subtle in my landscape photos... it added some mood to a day when the sky was empty and boring... and added a bit of attitude to a waterfall shot with highly reflective water at the base... nothing overly dramatic or so obvious someone would take one look at the pictures and know I used a filter, but a nice subtle effect I can see, in part because I took the pictures, and know what the "original" situation looked like.

I have the 1/4 version of this K&F Concept Black diffusion filter which I use frequently, so I decided to give this version a try.

The filter has a nicely machined ultra-slim frame so it doesn’t show up in the corners of my wide angle photos. It can be attached to the clear protective filter that’s already on my lens if I want to just add it, but I wanted to test it directly on the lens itself. It fit my Canon lens perfectly as well as it fit onto the filter on my lens.

I found that it provided mild diffusion but not overly noticeable. It also provides a natural, softened effect to backlit photos.

It could be used as a protective filter if you enjoy the diffusion effect because it uses high quality multi-coated optical glass but is also colorless.

This filter helps me to achieve a smoothing and softening effects and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something different in their photography.

I got this filter for a new DSLR I recently received solely for videos. The filter is made of high quality optical glass with multiple layers of ultra-thin, nanometer coatings and ultra-light materials. The frame is very light and thin compared to some of the other filters I have. This filter is a 1/8 black diffusion and the changes from a normal, non-filtered lens, are minimal. But, it does help soften the subject in my videos a little. The same filter is available in other strengths, but I thought 1/8 was a good place to start experimenting.

I feel the price for this filter is very good considering you are getting a high-quality, multi-coated glass filter. In my first few experimental photos and videos, I think this filter has a lot of potential for portraits and still-life too. I highly recommend this camera filter for anyone shooting photos or videos.

It seems to soften the light a little, but it’s honestly it’s hard to tell the difference at times, but it seems good overall

The packaging is really attractive, and the filter itself is well built.

K&M continues to deliver and be the inexpensive solution to the expensive Tiffen driven camera filter market. This is a nice alternative if you can't buy Tiffen or other top name brands but you don't want to sacrifice clarity. K&M filters continue to meet or surpass much more expensive filters at a third to half the price!

Let's face it. Lenses are expensive and buying top of the line filters for every lens you own is even more expensive. This lens provides a nice even subtle glow under the right lighting situations. I am looking forward to working with it more to test its clarity. I haven't used black mist filters before and this is a great place to start. My only caveat is that I believe K&M make a hybrid filter as well, that is it's a combination black mist and ND filter so you might want to skip this if a 2 in 1 might be more useful for you. Overall, highly recommended.

The waterproof feature is a game-changer for outdoor shoots, allowing me to capture stunning scenes even in less-than-ideal conditions. It's like having a professional-grade mist effect on demand, without worrying about damage.!

The lights are soft, works as intended, not extremely soft and it gives pictures a nice bright and airy look. Quality is great liek always, I love my KNF Concept products!

This lens accessory creates an enchanting cinematic effect, adding a dreamy and artistic touch to your photography.
