Först och främst: Jag har redan beställt ett par andra filter från K&F Concept. Kontakta alltid tillverkaren direkt.

Du kan inte säga att det är utmärkt valuta för pengarna, eftersom filter från andra välkända märken kostar lika mycket (eller en liten skillnad), men du har ett högkvalitativt filter till hands.

Inga klagomål. De diffusa ljusen är inte överväldigande och är roliga att fotografera med. Nöjd med kvaliteten för produktens pris.

K&F contacted me to test the new Black Mist filter.
It is a filter designed for videos and to give a "vintage" touch to the final result.
In short: beautiful result even for photography. It is a useful filter for portraits or for landscape or storytelling reportage. You do not lose sharpness and you get a much less "shot" light that also expands in the shaded area.
It is a filter to be used in photography with large apertures and which "tells" an atmosphere.

But let's start from the beginning.
Packaging / handling: In addition to the plastic box, the filter is inserted in a very resistant and protective snap-on case. The filter is screw-type (rightly because it was created for videomakers and in any case up to a diameter of 82). I would have preferred a cardboard box. But the case that you can see in the photo (the round one) is very useful and sturdy. The filter is resistant and fits well to all the lenses to which I have mounted it.

Technical review:
It has no dominant details, so it leaves the colors similar to the photo taken without a filter. Great!
It does not lose light, there is no need to increase the ISO when it is mounted. Great!
The sharpness in the details (and here comes the beauty) remains almost unchanged. You DO NOT lose sharpness in the areas in focus even if I would not use it in ultra-defined landscape photography, but for a storytelling, outdoor or portrait set absolutely yes.
Autofocus is unaffected by the filter, at least not on the Nikon D750 with fixed lenses.

Usage / Effect: it is a filter that gives a “glow” effect to photos, very particular especially for videos and for portraits in harsh light or backlight.
The highlights are dimmed but without becoming dull, moreover the light "enters" the shadows, giving a very soft "glow" effect. Great for portraits or to give a more dreamy atmosphere, it removes clarity from the image in high contrast areas.

In the photos you can see a couple of unfiltered / filtered comparisons, two portrait photos set and what comes to you.

Result in short: it is a filter that you do not think can enter your kit, but when it does it has such a particular result that you would try it in any situation. A must try!

Detta är bra när det används i rätt situationer. Jag gillar att använda den med mina Fujifilm-kameror. Byggkvaliteten är som förväntat, vilket är ganska anständigt. Jag har inga klagomål. Om du inte gillar den här, bör du prova ett "Glimmer Glass"-filter.

Magneter är magiska. Missförstå mig inte, men dessa magneter är helt enkelt inte så starka som jag skulle föredra för något som täcker mitt dyra glas. Black Soft diffusionsfiltret är intressant. Skulle inte vara mitt första val nästa gång, men det ger en intressant uppmjukning av ljuskällor som lägereld, nattljus etc. Lite kusligt, men subtilt.

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 it

Pros
- nice glow
- gives images a warmer feel
- excellent storage case

Cons
- none ( although keep in mind you may need to adjust exposure times slightly due to very minimal tint )

Ich habe ein paar Artikel von dieser Firma gekauft und sie waren alle von guter Qualität. Sie sind noch nicht in der Spitzengruppe, aber vielleicht eines Tages.

Än så länge är allt bra. Den lägger till rätt mängd dis för porträtt för att göra det stilistiskt. Det tillför inte för mycket enligt mig, och bilden är fortfarande ganska skarp.

Favoring shooting to post-processing, I tried this filter with the only lighting of an electric garland and the rendering was good, the light from the garland is diffuse and softer.
Can't wait to use it for night video when the restrictions are lifted.
