62mm Black Mist 1/4 + 1/8 Filters Kit Black Diffusion Cinematic Effect Filters Set with Multi-Layer Coated for Camera Lens Nano-Klear Series
SKU: SKU.1713V1
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.

The threads are nice and smooth and the optics of the filter is quality. The effect might seem subtle to most, but it does give portraits a little something extra, and also work nicely for video. All of the lens wipes were a nice added bonus!

I've had prior positive experience with a K&F Concept product, so was willing to try out this Mist Filter. The quality is excellent and the 1/8 filter creates a subtle effect. I like the dark misty bokeh it created when I used it indoors. In bright daylight, I didn't notice much effect. My only real usage will be for softer portraits in more subtle lighting times, and it's a great tool for that.

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.

I love the look this filter gives. Not too much glow, and it reduces glare a lot, and enriches the blacks. Great addition to the photographers toolbox.

Based on a wealth of experiences with products from nearly all of them, K&F is a brand that I tend to trust a bit more than other third party suppliers when it comes to accessories, lens filters in particular.
A filter like this is an excellent example of why. The 1/8 strength is subtle, especially in brighter conditions, and the effect can sometimes be hard to notice depending on the circumstances of your shot.
Night or low-light environments with strong focused light sources will make the effect more obvious.
I don't use a mist filter on every shot like some, but they definitely have their place to take the razor-sharp edge off of modern digital video footage when that's the correct aesthetic choice.
I have a set of Tiffin Black Pro Mists and I wouldn't hesitate to reach for this as an interchangeable option that offers excellent performance at a much lower price point.

K&F makes quality photographic gear at a modest price, I have been happy with their products in the past and this filter is no different. It comes in a sturdy box and a plastic lens holder along with three lens cleaning cloth in hermetically sealed envelopes.
It easily screwed on to my beat-up Sony 24-105 G lens, it also stacked on to the UV filter. It feels well machined and has a knurled edge for an easy grip.
The effect is pleasant and slightly painterly. I don't feel comfortable uploading headshots of people, but it softens the highlights in portraits in a nice subtle way especially if there is strong rim light. 1/8th is a very subtle.
I would like to add that most of the time a blooming light source looks good, however if you have a subject in front of the bloom it can obscure the subject. You can see this a bit in the my photo with the house light behind the rock. The bloom is cool looking however if that had been a model it would blocked her.
I often add a glow or the variation called the Orton Effect in post. This black diffusion filter is cleaner in that it only affects the highlights. I tried the filter on a sunset shot and it had no change at all, may have to go to a 1/2 or a full diffusion to see any change.

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 like the effect of this filter. Just provides a gentle glow, smoothed the skin a bit, and makes background lights look softer. The glass appears to be high quality as well. Nice filter.
