72mm Shimmer Diffusion 1 Filter Optical Glass Glimmer Effect Filter for Camera Lens Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.2168
I have the K&F 1/4 and 1/8 diffusion filters. This is slightly different. This keeps most of the sharpness, but creates a glowing effect.
This will be useful when shooting video, getting closer to a film look.
IT comes in a hard plastic case that holds the filter securely.
As with all the K&F filters I have so far, it has nice ridges on the edge to help grip it when mounting or unscrewing.
I'll be using this for video quite a bit.
Very pleased with it.

I have always tried to replicate the soft glow in night photography, I never could get it right, it wasnt until I used this that I realized others were most likely also using a filter. K&F has been getting great rating in the ND filter area so I wanted to try this. It's a nice quality glass, I didnt notice any flare or color cast. this will sit nicely with the K&F ND Filter pouch.

This is a nice filter for glamour shots. It really has a nice subtle softening effect. It works especially well for evening out the image when you have a lot of contrast and specular highlights. In low contract shots, the effect isn't rally all that pronounced though.
The build quality of this filter is excellent. The threads are cut well and it comes in an unexpectedly robust filter case. I am quite pleased with it.

This shimmer diffusion filter is a very good filter. It does what it is intended to do at a reasonable price point. I didn't think that I'd like it as much as I do. The filter itself is well made. The fit and finish are top notch and the threads are smooth. The filter screws on and off with zero binding. I like that there are ridges so you get a can get a secure grip when handling the filter. The effect that the filter has is to soften the image. This is subtle, but definitely noticeable. Depending on the subject and the conditions you're shooting in, the filter can impart something of a warm glow to the image. It's a little hard to explain, but you'll know it when you're using it. For nighttime photography, it can reduce the harshness of light sources to give a more pleasing image. Along with the filter, I also like the plastic case that it comes in. It holds the filter securely and will provide for safe storage. I'm really glad I got this filter. Five stars.

the K&F Concept 72mm Shimmer Diffusion 1 Filter Optical Glass Glimmer Effect Filter for Camera Lens Nano-X Series:
This is a very nice soft diffusion shimmer effect filter. This is very well made and engineered. The effect is subtle but very pleasant, the best part is it softens without softening the focus. The image is still sharp, but with a bit lower contrast, a bit of a glow in the highlights, and slightly more pleasing bokeh. Not to mention it can soften the skin a bit, which saves allot of time in post production. The overall effect just adds a bit of a dreamy quality without being over the top or too obvious. I am a fan of K&F filters, and I am a fan of this shimmer diffusion. I am grateful to have it as part of my creative pallet. Well made, well engineered, creative effects filter. Well done again K&F.

They did a great job packaging this filter, it feels like K&Fs premium product. If you don't know much about glimmer glass, this filter diffuses harsh light sources and creates a soft, dreamy like glow. It will help take away some of the sharpness that comes from today's super high quality digital cameras. K&F did a great job with this filter, it exceeded my expectations!

This K&F concept filter is another quality product. The thin filter has smooth threads and the bumpy ring grip making it easy to remove. I'm not willing to pay a higher price for filters with specific use effects, like this subtle shimmer, so this is an excellent quality level for my use. Preferring to create effects in-camera when possible, I like this option for some glow in portraits and cityscapes.
