È stato usato solo una volta. Non lo uso ogni volta

I had my doubts before I bought this black mist 82mm filter, because I mainly shoot landscapes and I thought that they were only used for portrait or street photography. I wasn't sure what I could get out of it and I was pleasantly surprised.

A filter that creates a special atmosphere, adding a kind of haze around points of light. In the photos you can see the effect that it generates, I find it very interesting and I think that in many situations it can give a special touch to the photos.

The filter is a screw-on type, it comes in a plastic box, which also fits different sizes of filters, from 43mm to 82mm. The rim is made of metal and the filter is made of glass.

Right now I can only come up with ideas to investigate landscape applications, it seems to me a very interesting option that I am enjoying a lot.

I really like the soft light that it produce in videos. It's especially noticeable in "color lights". Made everything more dreamy and cinematic, especially at night.

Ottima costruzione e definizione.

Great filter with nice features at a decent price. About 3mm thick. Screws on fine. Hard case.

In the pictures, the first image is with the filter on, the second one is without the filter. Shot with the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens at f/1.8. The main difference is in the highlights area. Note how there is loss of contrast and a gentle glow effect around the candle lights and around the stronger highlights. Also, there is a very subtle, dream-like haze in the image, the image sort of feels a little bit warmer.

I can definitely see how this filter will have its place in my camera bag.

Quality-wise, the filter is very nicely made. The storage case is hugely oversized. Looks like the same case size is used for all filter sizes. This is suboptimal for the consumer, since there is no reason why I need to find space for the huge case for a small filter.

The retail box is presentable, and projects quality. The whole package would make a nice gift.

Un buon filtro che mantiene ciò che promette. Purtroppo l'ho comprato troppo tardi, sul sito del produttore costava per tanto tempo intorno ai 50€, ora tutto ad un tratto non costa più. Trovo l'effetto troppo estremo per gli scatti all'aperto, anche se ovviamente dipende sempre dalla scena e dal risultato desiderato. Ma puoi sicuramente consigliarlo.

I am usually against UV/haze filters as I am concerned about their effect on image quality. However, I plan to use my Sigma 150-600 DG DN Sport (Sony E-Mount) in pretty harsh conditions such as coastal bird photography, surf photography, and sports. So, I caved and purchased this filter to provide protection for the lens front element.
However, given that this K&F filter would probably be considered "mid-tier" in terms of price, I wanted to test if it in fact had any effect on image quality. The attached image of a $20 dollar bill was taken under the same exact circumstances - 600mm at ISO 100, tripod with OS off. As you can see from the screenshot taken in the compare view of my photo editing software, the image on the right (with filter) is clearly sharper with better contrast.
I'm shocked! I had fully expected to remove the filter when I wanted a better image. Now I can leave it on 100% of the time, and easily wipe off any splashes or dust without worrying about scratching the front element. Strong recommend!

Ho il sistema magnetico K&F su tutti i miei obiettivi e, oltre al Black Mist, ho diversi filtri ND e CPL appropriati qui. Sono così maneggevoli, facilmente impilabili e la connessione è abbastanza forte da non dovermi preoccupare che uno di loro cada. L'effetto nebbia nera qui è molto ridotto e si nota solo con molta retroilluminazione. Molti filtri più economici hanno spesso una dominante di colore, ma non l'ho notato affatto con il K&F.

L'unico aspetto negativo è che con i miei obiettivi Sony, almeno i cappucci magnetici inclusi sono davvero difficili da rimuovere quando si ha il paraluce sull'obiettivo (in avanti o all'indietro). Un elemento aderente sulla parte anteriore del cappuccio avrebbe aiutato. Potrei stampare in 3D un supporto e incollarlo lì per ripararlo. Poiché i tappi non sono davvero il motivo principale per utilizzare un sistema di filtri magnetici, anche se do ancora 5 stelle, sarebbero stati un bel bonus se funzionassero bene, ma non sono davvero fondamentali per il prodotto.

Includes: case, and filter.
Tested with my nikon kit lens. (see my sample photos)
Each Top photo was taken on a tripod with a 10 second timer.
Each Bottom photo, the black mist pro filter was added.
This really does work as the name suggests!
Side by side you can see the colors and focus in the original without filter.
Then after applying the filter to the front of the lens,
you get a black mist. This calms down the color saturation and the sharpness.
Just a small amount.

The case.
Top twists off from the bottom and is made of a smoked plastic. The edges have a nice groove set.
Makes opening and closing easy. Branding on top.
The bottom is made of the same plastic and has the same grooves on the side.
The highlight is the 2 gray silicone pads that are glued down inside.
(These grooves will hold you filter) You could also use with smaller and larger filters.
That's a plus.

The filter.
Is slim line and made of aluminum.
Sides have really nice grooves, makes using the filter very smooth.
Great glass. Actually scratch resistant.
Took out my keys and hey no scratches. Thumbs up.
Waterproof.
Filter weighs only .5 ounces. Both the case and filter weight 2.7 ounces.

Overall very pleased with the filter.
Great quality.
I picked up the 52mm version.
Used 2 of my kit lens and no issues. Very smooth to install and remove from lens.
Easy to clean. Should last a very long time.

I prefer to shoot with filters verse going into software and spending extra time to get a similar effect.
Hope this was helpful.
