Definitely was hesitant about purchasing this filter. It definitely works for mixed lighting situations when working indoors. Enjoying it so far

The filter does exactly what they say it does. I bought the 1/4 strength filter and it works great. If I were to buy it again however, I would get the 1/8 filter. The 1/4 is much less subtle then expected. In very high contrast situations the effect is very strong. I think the 1/8 would be much more useable in most photo/video applications.

Works exactly as it's supposed to. Beautiful, gentle diffusion around light sources. Pleasing halation in the highlights and slight warm shift to the image at the cost (or benefit) of lower contrast. Even effect distribution across the image, too.

Compré este filtro para probarlo frente al spray profesional de la marca Tiffen y no me decepcionó. Hay un vídeo en YouTube que compara estos dos filtros uno al lado del otro y el K&F es definitivamente un competidor. El precio es justo, lo cual me gustó, también venía en un bonito recipiente. En mi opinión, no pagues de más por el Tiffen.

I really wasn't sure of what to expect from this filter. I mean, I know what it should have done technically but I have been fooled before with poor quality results and not knowing this brand I was prepared to be let down but I certainly have not been. This filter provides a beautifully softening effect that does not so much outright blur but rather seems to maintain a decent focus while creating a very soft hint of haze. It is very delicate and is a really nice tool to have in a portrait photographer's arsenal. It also has a nice effect on candle and sharp points of lights, creating a softened hue or aura around the light source. It looks a little "dreamy", if that helps to paint the picture.
I used this filter with my primary Nikon portrait lens and I intend to continue shooting with it to learn more about it but to this point, it has been a rather exciting discovery.
I will say that, although secure enough, I do find that this filter does not fit my lense threads as precisely as I am more accustom to. Something seems off but they are not binding, so I will leave well enough alone.
I am very impressed with this filter and think it fairly priced.
Definitely recommended.

Damned! This makes the highlights very fresh and soft! A great investment if you like that soft look!

Technically, we've definitely got to a point where the cameras are so good that much of the magic has been lost. Diffusion seems like a great way to bring some of that flavor back into your creative work. Atrium and softer edges without the highlights blooming into a soft, warm mess.

Great filter for portrait and street photography, it adds cinema graphic look to the photos.
