46mm Black Mist Filter 1/4 + 3pcs Cleaning Cloth with 18 Multi-Layer Coatings Nano-Klear Series
SKU: KF01.2349V1
I did some test shots of my face, I'll spare you the images. I have some sun damage and this filter did soften them a bit which was nice. It also softened the texture of my skin some as well.
This filter came well package and with lens cleaners which is a nice touch in packaging.
The threads screwed on without issue and I saw no anomalies, color cast or vignetting from the filter.
This is a good tool to have for anything we can do to stay out of the time suck of post photo editing the better.

The Black-Mist filter makes the image a bit softer and more “flowing”. This is particularly noticeable when it comes to bokeh (background blur) and incidence of light. This makes the bokeh appear a bit softer.
However, this effect is rather subtle. The 1/4 filter is not excessively strong. Especially in focus, the sharpness remains quite high, but that's not a bad thing either.
There is nothing wrong with the K&F filter in terms of quality. The filter does what it should and is good to use as a creative tool.

I used this 52mm filter on my old classic Canon EF 50mm 2.5 Compact Macro lens to take the picture of the faux candle. I used flash with standard priority and exposure set to 1/30 second at f/16, ISO 1600.
The filter came packed inside a sealed plastic bag sleeve inside a reusable plastic case for storage.
The filter is machined to be well threaded and it fit perfectly onto a clear filter I have permanently affixed to my lens. The edge of the filter has grooves for an easy-on/off grip.
Because it uses Black Diffusion, dialing up or down the "black" or even the "clarity" setting when opening a raw file in Photoshop can render a dramatic variability of the diffusion effect.
The 18 Multi-Layer Coatings can help reduce glare from flash highlights on shiny surfaces such as glass or shiny metal. The filter gives a soft diffuse effect on the subject which is also effected by the light source used.
This is a nice filter to have when you want to add some diffusion, softness or reduction of glare in photos or video. It can add an element of drama or a cinematic quality.
The filter came with 3 sealed microfiber cloths to help keep it clean.

This is a very nice camera filter from a reputable company. It is made of high quality optical glass with nanometer, multi-coating layers of ultra-thin and ultra-light materials. The frame is very light and small compared to the other filters I have for my camera.
This is a special effects filter primarily for portraits to soften the details of your subject. This is a 1/4 diffusion/mist filter and the changes from a normal, non-filtered lens, are minimal. K&F makes this same filter in lesser and greater strengths (i.e., 1/8, 1/2). So you have to decide what diffusion level you want for your specific studio shoot/setting. I thought 1/4 was a good place to start experimenting with this type of effect.
This filter also included 3 nice sized microfiber cleaning cloths. (It would have been nice if there were in a resealable/reusable bag though.) The price is very good considering you are getting a high-quality, multi-coated glass filter from a good company. In my different experimental shots, I think this filter has a lot of potential for portraits and still-life. I'm also wanting to try it out on macro shots.

A filter in a simple plastic box and 3 cleaning cloths are included.
Using the filter is easy — the results are okay.
I had previously tested a 1 filter, which I found too strong. The 1/4 Promist filter is more discreet and pleasant.

For the money, this is a great black mist filter. I’ve used it on my cine camera and for stills and enjoy the softness it adds to both.

I picked up the 1/4 filter and it does a great job. It's more subtle than I thought it would be, but as I look at the images and video footage after the fact, I'm actually okay with that. You don't want to overdo it. I don't have other brands' mist filters, so I can't compare it, but for $25 it's great value.

tested quickly with one photo and the effect is ok, but not as strong as I was expecting.
The case is way too big, so not very pracical for 49mm.
3 microfiber cloths are included... but to be honest I would rather have a better case and maybe a reduced price instead
