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 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.

Modern cameras with good optics produce crisp, sharp photos. You can see every detail here.
No crease, scar, or impurity remains hidden here.
Especially when you want to photograph portraits, this wealth of detail is not always wanted. Unless you want to highlight the wrinkles, etc. as an artistic device.
But if you simply want to create beautiful portraits, this filter can be used. It mitigates precisely these weaknesses, if you can say so, and produces wonderfully soft - though not blurry - results. The contrast is also reduced, which simply creates more beautiful photos from hard and cold light.
The filter I have has a strength of 1/4 and is therefore the second weakest. All the effects mentioned above are therefore present, but not so strong that it appears artificial and perhaps even kittish.
Sure, you can now say that such effects can also be done in post-processing, but this filter saves you a lot of work and has a more analog workflow that I personally really like.
In any case, the filter has already proven itself and is more than worth its - low - price. Especially since there are three good cleaning cloths as a nice bonus.
I can't identify any negative points, so I can give it the full five stars here.

I received the K&F Concept Nano-K series Black-Mist 1/4 filter free of charge for testing. The product was delivered quickly and was securely packaged in a standard retail box.
The filter is well padded in a sturdy plastic box. 3 shrink-wrapped cleaning cloths are included. The filter makes a good visual impression and delivers the promised results in the image. The thread is smooth and fits perfectly. In today's fully digital age, filters have gone out of fashion, as most effects can be added digitally afterwards. For analog photographers or people who don't like to digitally edit images, this filter is highly recommended. The filter strength ¼ results in rather unobtrusive subtle results. The manufacturer describes the filter effect very appropriately. With appropriate step-up adapters, the filter can also be used on smaller lenses. Good filter. Nice effect. Good workmanship Reasonable value for money. 5 stars
