49mm 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.1709V1
I have the 1/4 filter as well and I feel the that is just slightly stronger than this. They are both subtle and soft, with this being ever so slight. this is no sledge hammer, but a delicate mist. A very 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, but if you want to have a noticeable effect you might go 1/4 or stronger.

Filter is well made and feels solid in the hands. I like it has the textured grip on to the edges to make it easier to screw and unscrew. This quarter strength black diffusion filter provides just the right amount of diffusion to the highlights without being overbearing. I feel like any more, and it would be obvious that you have a filter on, but any less, it would go unnoticed. Useful bit to have in your kit.

It does create a unique look, and I don't think it is something that could be easily done in post-processing. It is thin and lightweight and easily fits in my filter pouch. With that said, I don't think that this will see much use for me. It's just not the kind of effect I will need often. I'm saying that as a photographer. If you are filming video, I think there are probably more valid use cases for this.

This is just what I needed. I've been building out my iPhone video rig setup and have been running into the issue that all newer iPhones have with over sharpening images and video. This filter is very very mild, but just strong enough to cut that sharpness. I have it mounted to the Moment universal filter mount adapter, with an ND filter also from K&F, and use a third party app to control the shutter speed and white balance which helps add a bit of motion blur and a more natural depth of field than the cinematic mode in the native camera app. This filter will pretty much live on my iPhone while filming. Works especially well with that ND filter, but on overcast days I just use this Black Diffusion filter and it works great.

Diffusion filters like this come in "black" and "white." The white ones I like to call "bottom up" diffusors. They increase the brightness of the shadows as they diffuse.
A black diffuser is a "top down" diffuser, taking the highlights down slightly while softening the image.
Fits my Canon L-series lenses perfectly, and as a diffusion effect, gives nice image quality at a good price. In fact, where some types of filters are worth paying the premium, a diffusion filter is a place to save a little cash when you can. Since the effect itself essentially degrades the image to get a creative effect, so long as the creative effect looks good, you're getting your money's worth.
Five stars.

As with any filter you put over your lens you are limited to all the images having the soft focus effect. As a digital photographer I have mostly moved to creating effects on my images in post production in Photoshop where you can selectively choose the type and extent of the effect to each image. Early in my career I was using special soft focus filters designed and created by the motion picture industry but I no longer have that set and I wanted to see if this filter would emulate that effect. It does a decent job but it falls short of that system that had multiple filters of varying degrees of soft focus but I knew that when I bought this filter. It's nice to have this filter when I know I will need it for certain subjects but for the most part I will be creating my own filter effects in Photoshop for most jobs. Good value for the money also.

Has the same look and feel of a traditional promist filter, and much like K&F Concept's other filters, it does a fantastic job of that without any noticeable color cast or tinting, and without breaking the bank.

The black mist filter is a pretty subtle effect. This filter is my first black mist filter. Basically what it does is defocus and soften your images somewhat. I tried a 1/4 filter, but I think I'd prefer the 1/2 for more of the effect it gives. It's fairly easy to soften images a little in your image editor of choice. I think the 1/2 would provide a more natural looking softening than softening in editor software.
The filter itself is well built and the ring is nice and slim. The package came with three sealed microfiber cloths which is quite a handy addition. These filters are inexpensive enough to buy several intensities to try. I'm going to buy a 1/2 next!

I love the softening and glowing effect a black diffusion filter adds to video and photos. It is a great way of reducing sharpness and makes lighting in high contrast situations look mystical. If you want to add a nostalgic soft feel or cut out the digital look of your video then this is a must have filter.
I own the Tiffen black pro most versions of this and I can honestly say that the K&F version does a very good job of replicating that look at a much more affordable price.
I also use and love this filter for photography. Highlights on the skin tend to glow a little more and any lighting in the frame looks as if it haves a slight haze around it. This filter can give you a different look without changing anything other than adding the filter to your lens.
This is a good budget option for those that may not be willing to pay the much higher cost for the Tiffen version.
