52mm Black Mist 1 Filter Mist Cinematic Effect Filter Black Diffusion 1 Filter with 18 Multi-Layer Coatings Nano-Klear Series
SKU: KF01.2172V1
K&F Concept Nano-K series Black-Mist 1/4 filter 67mm
The filter makes a good impression of quality. The effect is gentle and it gives the images a creative look. I tested the filter with the Tamron 28 -75 2.8 G2 and am satisfied with the results. The model's face is slightly blurred and saves time in post-processing.
Price - performance and image results are good.

The K&F Concept 72mm Black Diffusion 1/4 Filter Mist Cinematic Effect Filter with 18 Multi-Layer Coatings for Video/Vlog/Portrait Photography (K-Series)
This is a 1/4 stop black diffusion filter that lowers contrast and makes highlights glow. It’s not quite a soft focus filter, it does give the overall image a softer, dreamier and glowey effect. K&F filters are very well made and very well engineered. I have been using several of their filters recently and I rate them among some of the best in the business. These black diffusion effects are pleasing and subtle at least with the 1/4 and 1/8 stop filters. The effect gets more extreme with the 1/2 and 1 stop models. These are great for wedding, glamor and portraits, or anything you want to have a soft diffused glow to the image. Equally effective for video and photos. A fun effect to play with for added drama and vibe. Works best with scenes with lots of background highlights, or very backlit scenes. Modern lenses and sensors are so sharp that sometimes you just want a softer vibe, this is a good tool in the tool box for an instant dreamy and dramatic quality.

subtle and soft. this is no sledge hammer, but a delicate mist. A soft diffusion on light sources and specular highlights. A softness to the skin. this is a much, much lighter effect than the old, high end French silk stocking over the lens. ever so slightly dreamy, a light glow without being overkill. I have not compared to pricier brands, but I am quite happy with this. I don't imagine that I will be bringing it out for much more than portraiture, I intend to experiment to see what it can bring to my other photography work.
Beautifully packaged and secure, with the added bonus of 3 microfiber cleaning cloths, this is quite the bargain if you are in the market for such a filter.

This filter provides a nice effect that's difficult to achieve using software with comparable results. The effect targets the entire frame though - unlike what's possible in post processing.
Physically, the filter is well made, with good threads. It seems to have good optical quality and the coatings appear uniform and effective.
The diffusion seems uniform to me, though I am by no means a professional photographer. It's not an everyday filter but is nice to have when it is warranted. It seems like a good value to me.

his K&F Concept filter screwed on smoothly to my lens, without any of the harsh turning sounds other filters made that I have tried. This filter is rather unique in my collection.
I own a lot of UV filters, but this is a diffusion filter. It produces a noticeable glow around light sources. It is a 1/4 strength filter and did produce more of a glow than another brand's 1/8 filter that I tried.
The filter itself feels thick and substantial.
You can really see the diffusion coating on the glass.
Overall, I am happy with this filter and it did what it is supposed to do. It produces a glow that is a bit

I've mainly shot landscapes, architecture and still-life images but in the past year have begun doing more people and night shooting. This lens, at 1/2 mist creates a very mild glow and softness to images without sacrificing detail. I've added a touch of glow to some people and macro flower images in post processing, but using a filter to get the effect in-camera produces a much more subtle and natural look.
The filter itself is extremely well made, attaches to my lens smoothly and easily and is just as easily removed. Optically, it's spot on and produces no distortion or unwanted artifacts.
K&F filters are every bit as good as the significantly more expensive German filters I've purchased and this is now my go-to brand.

Well made filter. I got the 1/4 filter in 72mm size. Great for portraits....gives a softer edge and a slight glow on the highlights.
This is subjective, but I wouldn't go any stronger on the filter strength, and in fact, you might want to consider the 1/8 strength filter. Too strong a filter like this makes your photos were taken at an '80s Glamor Shot booth at the mall...

This is a diffusion filter for cameras. I have the variant for 58mm filter threads here. The Black Mist 1/4 filter creates a more softening effect. It looks really nice, but you really have to look closely to see something. However, you can see it in direct comparison. In any case, it is not “too much.”
The filter is well made and fits any lens and camera with an appropriate filter diameter. (I've tested it on 3 different cameras)

This has become my favorite filter to use! I photograph a lot of athletes, and often put lights behind them, and with this filter, I'm able to make those lights bloom out, instead of being too sharp and harsh. Big fan!! Great quality and feel too - will be getting more of these in other filter sizes.

I mainly use this great filter for live concerts.
With the filter effect, you can capture wonderful lighting moods.
The workmanship of the filter is good and it feels very high-quality.
Unlike the premium models from K&F, this filter comes in a plastic box, which is not easy to open the first time.
I am satisfied with the performance of the filter and would buy it again.
