I've used this filter a couple of times for my creative photography and videography in a couple of instances and i can tell you K&F Concept nailed it again. I can't post images of content i was paid for due to contractual reasons, but this is definitely a professional grade filter. I noticed no image resolution degradation, no white balance issues, no vignetting or distortion when the filter was on. It arrived on a rather large protecting case that i discarded right away and it was unwieldy, hard and larger than it needed to be, but i own a K&F filter pouch (shown on pictures, not included with the filter) that i use. Despite not liking the carrying case, this is a GREAT Black Mist filter, it feels premium on your hands, mounting was smooth, it feels sturdy and while i did NOT test scratch resistance i trust K&F Concept products. Great value for a premium filter, i would recommend it to anyone who is in the market for one.

Wasn't sure how strong the effect was - smoke tested it at home and didn't seem strong but when I used it during one shoot, it looked amazing. A little too strong imo but that's just preference. Build quality is amazing as usual. Returning this and getting the 1/4 strength.

Black Mist filters are designed to give a dreamy look to pictures and especially video by creating a 'glow effect' to the whole picture. The hard edges of the picture will be softened but the contrast of the dark areas will be mostly retained. For the best effect you want to use this filter especially around light sources. A subtle glow will be added around the light spots.
In the box you get the filter and a slick carrying case that can also hold other filters at different sizes. This filter produces some gorgeous shots and it is on par with many other filters that cost more than this one.
The strength of the effect from this 1/8 varies depending on the scene, although it can be quite dramatic in certain situations comparing to those from other 1/4 filters. But with all said and done this particular strength is pretty much in the middle. It is never too much and it is never too little. Great filter.

own two of these bad boys both at 1/4 strength paired with a vintage lens. I've been having some serious fun with them both and couldn't be happier. Does what it advertises itself to do and helps create stylized shots. 1/4 strength creates a strong enough glow that isn't too overwhelming.

The filter is ideal for achieving creative photographic compositions. It comes with a case that ensures it's well protected during storage. It fits perfectly on the lens.

I ordered the 55mm Black Soft Diffusion 1/8 effects filter to use with my Nikon D5600. I'm a novice user but I enjoy the effects of this filter, especially in full daylight conditions. The effect is subtle but effective. There's a nice bloom and minimal color change. No loss in image quality observed. Threads on the filter made it easy to screw onto my camera's lens. Came well packaged. Useful filter to have on hand for a variety of settings.

When I first found out about this lens filter, I knew I needed it. I've spent so long in editing programs just to get a subpar hazy/soft affect on my photos, but this filter is what I've needed this whole time to streamline my photography workflow. It's the perfect filter for that dreamy film affect! The top photo is without the filter, the bottom photo was taken just a second later with the filter. It ads a beautiful softness and warmth to the photos!

good diffusion filter that costs less than its “known” analogues. The included case was a pleasant surprise. Despite its large size, there is no need to be afraid that the filter will get dirty or scratched in your bag or pocket.
