I'm not familiar with this brand but the quality is fantastic.

Dieser Filter ist eine Offenbarung. Ich besitze ein 1/8 K&F Black Mist 58mm, das im Grunde genommen von einem Portraitobjektiv lebt, und es funktioniert einfach. Der Black Mist entfernt einfach den digitalen „Rand“ und die Unschärfe und verleiht den Bildern optisch eine subtile filmähnliche Qualität (was besser ist als bei Post-Lösungen — entscheiden Sie sich immer für die Optik). DIESE neueste Variante bietet einen variablen ND-Filter zusammen mit dem Black Mist als All-in-One-Filter. Dieser K&F ist ein Muss, insbesondere für Videofotografen, die eine filmähnliche Qualität mit einer filmischen Bildrate von 24 Bildern pro Sekunde suchen. (Wenn Sie nicht wissen, warum dieser innovative 2-in-1-Filter eine Offenbarung für Videos ist, ist er vielleicht nichts für Sie.) Chinesische Marken wie Neewer und K&F haben die Welt des Fotozubehörs mit innovativen Produkten und fairen Preisen wirklich im Sturm erobert. Dieser K&F-Filter ist nur ein weiteres Beispiel. Ich werde wahrscheinlich noch mehrere in verschiedenen Größen abholen. Bei diesen erschwinglichen Kosten ist der „Step-up-Filterring-Trick“ meiner Meinung nach nicht erforderlich. Kaufen Sie sie einfach in den Größen, die Sie benötigen. Foto-Dawgs werden wissen, was ich meine.

The K&F Concept 82mm Black Diffusion Mist 1/4 plus Variable ND2-32 Filter is an excellent product. It has a great fit and finish. This consist of two filters. A Black Diffusion Mist 1/4. And a variable 5 stop filter ND 2- 32 filter. The Black Diffusion Mist adds a cinematic look. The18 Multi-Layer Coatings control reflections and glare quite well. I did not experience any X pattern during my testing. This filter includes a very nice case. This is a fantastic product. I highly recommended.

Great blackmist filter for my Action cam custom set up. I did a hack on my Action 3 and 5 where I can fit a 49mm filter onto the cams. This works great at a lower price than any of the made for Action 5 accessories. Everything is nice and soft and great for talking head vlogs.

This is an interesting filter. Rather than the typical polarizer combined with an ND, this one has a black mist instead. I like black mist filters for certain scenes, and using this in the combo avoids the dreaded x-shape.

It rotates easily, quite effective, not too heavy, and excellent quality. Easy on and easy off. The markings for ND levels is a big plus, no guessing.

The K&F is a well-designed filter with a reasonable asking price. Definitely a product worth buying if you are a prosumer photographer.

I ordered this K&F Concept 82mm Black Diffusion Mist 1/4 & Variable ND2-32 in-1 Filter to use with my Fuji GFX100s.

I love my Fuji GFX, but GF lenses are so sharp that they can be problematic for portraiture. A diffusion filter can produce results that require far less editing. This filter is dual use -- it offers a 1/4 strength diffusion filter with a variable ND2-32 neutral density filter.

I've used many different variable ND filters before. They all share one characteristic: at the highest ND setting, they produce a black X across the entire image. That does not happen with this filter. Has K&F Concept discovered a new technology for variable ND filters? No. They eliminate the X by limiting how far you can rotate the ND filter. In other words, this filter could produce an even heavier reduction in light, but a hard stop on the filter prevents you from accessing it and, consequently, from reaching the point at which the X will appear.

At its max, the ND filter will provide a 5 stop reduction in exposure. This is sufficient to allow for wide open apertures or relatively slow shutter speeds in anything but the brightest light.

The filter itself seems well constructed. It screws on and off easily and smoothly. Even when tightened down, the filter could be removed without having to resort to a filter wrench. Rotating the ND filter is smooth, and the filter holds its position. Coatings are well done; I did not notice additional flare when the filter was attached. I used this on a 20-35mm lens and did not get any vignetting. I can't say that the filter maintains sharpness because it is designed to reduce sharpness.

All in all, this is a useful filter to add to your kit.

This filter is a revelation. I own a 1/8 K&F Black Mist 58mm that basically lives on a portrait lens, and it just works. The Black Mist just eliminates the digital "edge" and harshness and gives images a subtle film-like quality, optically (which is better than post solutions—always opt for the optical). THIS latest variation adds a variable ND filter along with the Black Mist as an all-in-one filter. This K&F is a must-have, especially for video shooters looking for a film-like quality at the cinematic 24fps frame rate. (If you don't know why this inovative 2-in-1 filter is a revelation for video, it might not be for you.) Chinese brands like Neewer and K&F have really taken the photographic accessory world by storm via innovative products and fair pricing. This K&F filter is just another example. I will likely pick up several more in different sizes. At these affordable costs, there is no need for the "step-up filter ring trick," imo. Just buy them in the sizes you need. Photo dawgs will know what I mean.

I have been a professional photographer for the last 25 years and I've learned that it's almost always better to get what you are looking for in the shot in the camera and not rely on post processing..

I frequently use various ND filters to stop down light, generally to allow me to use a longer shutter speed. I love motion blurring water, cars lights or more creatively like children with sparklers or running with light straps on their wrists. That's what ND can do for me.

This K&F filter gives me more than a standard ND by adding the softening effect of Black Diffusion. This diffusion adds a beautiful softness, especially to any high brightness areas of the frame.

Lastly, I have 5 different variable ND filters, most from big brands and most suffer from the same X pattern issue that is demonstrated in K&F's product photos. I detected NO X pattern at all with this filter which is FANTASTIC for me! This alone makes this filter stand out.

Easy 5 Stars and easy for me to recommend this filter.

I will update this review if anything changes within 1 year. A 5-star rating indicates the product meets my expectations for its purpose.

This thing is worth it for the ND aspect alone. The ND filter works great and has hard stops if you're into that. What I like is the effect of the mist filter is just subtle enough that you could get away with just using this as an ND filter even if you're not going for a diffusion look. This captures more detail than competing mist filters and is subtle and you'll only truly notice it with backlighting and on camera lights being visible etc. It also helps soften the transition into highlights, which can be nice for skin without looking like a cheap 1980s effect.

2 in 1 Black Mist 1/4 and Variable ND filter (2 - 32) ... what can I say ... spectacular despite being the K series ... it immediately gives an incredible look and charm to the shots! Essential for those who want to give their ""shot"" a cinematic look! You will be amazed like me who have been working in the cinema for 25 years ... filter with a performance on par with much more famous and expensive brands, no X and no color dominance when varying the ND Stops.
