67mm MC UV Protection Filter with 24 Multi-Layer Green Coatings HD/Hydrophobic/Scratch Resistant Ultra-Slim UV Filter
SKU: KF01.1777
I have a Black Mist Pro 1/8 filter that I use quite a bit, but wanted to try a 1/4 for a more pronouced "bloom" in connection with a dream sequence I was shooting. I saw the K&F 1/4 black diffusion filter for about 20% less than the cost of a Black Mist Pro, so I thought I would give it a try. I've used K&F filters before and have always been pleased with them, even though they are perceived by some "pros" as lower-quality filters. I'm happy to say that the K&F 1/4 black diffuser is every bit as good as the Black Mist Pro equivalent, achieving exactly the effect I was after with no distortion or color cast. And if you take into consideration the magnetic docking system, I would say it's even better than the Black Mist Pro filter (this is the first magnetic filter I have used, and I'm hooked). The price to value ratio for this filer is excellent.

Great UV protection filter that doesn't add anything to your photos. No color shift, no blue cast, no blurring ... nothing. Just a crystal clear UV filter to give you piece of mind that your lens is protected. The slim design is nice because it doesn't produce any vignetting. Can't beat this quality!

The K&F D series UV filter is an extremely well made, durable piece of optical equipment that appears to perform as advertised. I wish I had noticed the NANO series filters, which are slightly better and only a few dollars more expensive. In any case, directly comparing this D series filter to the B&W UV Protection Filter (010) (XS-PRO), MRC Nano, the K&F item appears to have equivalent quality and performance at less than half the price. B&W are pretty much the industry standard, so that's not too bad.

Thin, light and no interference with af. Protects my expensive lens from careless mistakes and improves picture sharpness on hazy days. Mounted on a telephoto zoom, so can't say if there's any vignette problems on wide angle or not. Threads are aluminum, be aware of that if you don't like aluminum threads on filters.

While UV filters can improve your picture in some situations, most people buy them to protect their lens from splashes and dust without changing the image. This one seems good for that, it fits nicely on my sony 24-70 zoom lens and doesn't interfere with using either the lens hood or the original lens cap.
There is hardly any change in the amount of light that gets through to the camera and the UV filter can help to reduce atmospheric haze in long scenic shots and make the image a bit sharper.
This filter also has a water repellant coating, I haven't had to test this yet but if it works like the one on my glasses you won't have to wipe it if it gets wet. Any water that doesn't fall off immediately can be blown off with a hand blower so you don't have to touch the filter with a cloth.

You never really know if something like a little filter can actually provide protection for your lens. My bag holding my camera fell. I checked it out and the filter was shattered but the lens seemed perfectly okay. Don’t know if it prevented any damage to the lens but I’m very happy I had it on! Whew!

I have many filters as a photographer and this one works as expected. The coatings seem pretty nice and the UV Lens is almost a necessity for filters being on hand. Did not notice any glare or scratches in the coatings and images came out Awesome!. Great solid filter.
