An absolute necessity if one is recording or photographing people for interviews or portraits. Today's hi-resolution digital sensors are simply not flattering to the skin. Yes, for stills one can soften skin in post, but it is more challenging to do that in video. 1/4 Filter is strong enough to flatter the skin, but doesn't over-soften the entire image--it is good for both men and women, although 1/8 Filter would work as well, but be a bit more subtle.

It adds the right amount of haze for portraits to make it stylistic. It doesn't add too much in my opinion and the image is still pretty sharp. I've included a test shot below that I took of a friend in direct sunlight with a star filter and an ND filter.

Let's start at the beginning. What does a "crap filter" do? It ensures that lights get a "blurr effect". In German the lights look a bit hazy. This can create a really cool look in film productions, but is also really useful for photos for portraits etc. For example, a chain of lights in the background of the model or similar
Autofocus works perfectly with the Sony A7 Mark 2 and the Kito lens.
What I find absolutely awesome is the "packaging" or where the filter is stored. Nothing wobbles here! This is rock solid and can even be used for other filter sizes.
Oh: Despite the filter, the lens hood and the protective cap for the lens fit without any problems.
Processing as always top! no plastic ;-)

Works as advertised. Portraits have a dreamy look to it but it’s subtle compared to the moment cinebloom filter. Construction isn’t as nice as the moment but images still look good.

Very good Mist Filter. I use it for music videos where I want to get a more vintage look and it gets the job done.

I like it. Make sure to clean every so often or you’ll see reflections from the exchange between the lens and the filter in your picture

Instead of getting really harsh highlights, having this on really helps on making it look smoother and making shots look nicer. Great for photos and videos.

I heard so many good things about this product I had to buy it. This filter was highly recommended by a lot of reviewers. Great quality!
