Very good quality Black Diffusion 1/4 Filter from K&F Concept made from very good materials.
I have been using this filter for just over two months and so far I have had no issues it works and works extremely well you get that soft and creamy look to your images of course you need good lighting to get the effect. This filter will help take your images to the next level.
The filter is thin and lightweight which is great BUT due to it being so thin there has been a few times when I have struggled to get a good grip to unscrew the filter from my lens I have always gotten it off so this is not a game changer for me personally. With the filter on it is still 77mm so your lens cap/cover can still fit so you can leave it on if you want to when not using the camera.
Comes in a very nice stylish material case good stitching which gives this a professional look and feel, has magnet in the case which is used to close the lid/case these are all very nice touches.
Overall I am happy with the Black Diffusion Filter I feel it is a fair price and I would recommend it.

I generally find all products from K&F Concept to be of great value and this Black Mist 1/4 filter is no exception.
I got the 77 mm version and paired with my trusty Nikkor Z 24-120 F/4.
The manufacturing quality is at such a high quality that you don't have to think twice when ordering: brass socket, strong thread, no wobbling whatsoever. Unscrewing and unscrewing is as smooth as butter, every single time.
As for the filter itself, its effects are immediately noticeable: it reduces the sharpness from digital cameras, reduces skin blemishes and gives highlights that subtle, cinematic glow. Except for edge situations, when the lights are overly bright or coming from certain angles, there are no image degradations when using this filter. No reflections between the filter and the lens' front element.
In broad daylight, the effects of this filter might be a bit too strong. The image can become a bit too dreamy. Then the less strong model, the 1/8 might be a better choice.

What can I say, K&F gives birth to this 1/4 Nano Xcel Pro black mist and it's crazy. A must-have filter because it gives a “vintage” paste to the photos by cutting the black areas and giving that slight glow that, especially with the lights, has a more cinematic appearance. Top quality and amazing results. Both on video and on photos the results are so good that I decided to leave it on the camera by default. K&F is always a guarantee and if taken in combination with the 1/8 one the pleasure increases dramatically. Especially on video you will see that muffled and smoky situation that is usually obtained by using the smoke machine to isolate the subject from the seabed.
Absolutely recommended.

Tested during a night walk in the city. The street lights get a soft halo that makes the scene more atmospheric. Sharpness stays where it's important.

Always struggled with that harsh digital look that makes everything appear too clinical and sterile, so when I heard about black diffusion filters I decided to try this K&F Concept one. The difference it makes is honestly incredible and has become an essential part of my setup.
The 1/4 strength creates this beautiful soft glow around lights that immediately makes footage look more cinematic and professional. I tested it during a recent shoot at a local restaurant with dim lighting and the results were amazing, all those point light sources got this dreamy halo effect that would have taken hours to recreate in post-production. The filter also does wonders for close-up shots of people by naturally smoothing skin tones without making everything look artificially soft.
What surprised me most is how well the anti-reflective coating works, I expected some issues with flare or ghosting but even shooting directly into bright windows didn't cause problems. The build quality feels really solid too with smooth threading that doesn't stick or cross-thread when mounting. For anyone doing portrait or narrative video work, this filter adds so much character that you'll wonder how you managed without it.

I tested this Black-Mist 1/4 filter in several sessions both indoors and outdoors, and the change was evident from the first shot. The image gains a more cinematic look, with diffused lights and smooth transitions that give it a professional touch. In portraits, it helps to soften the skin naturally without losing detail in the eyes or in key areas.
The assembly was simple thanks to the brass frame, which is screwed together without looseness or strange friction. I've used it in night recordings and in shots with strong lighting, and it achieves an interesting balance between softening reflections and maintaining overall contrast. In addition, the coating really prevents fingerprints or drops of water from accumulating, which is very useful if you work outside.

I ordered the Neewer 82mm Black Mist 1/4 filter for my Nikon lens and think it is well made. The filter fits perfectly and the housing around the glass is made of brass.
I also like that the filter is delivered in a narrow, sturdy storage box and storage case. This allows you to pack it away and transport it well protected. By the way, the box can also be used as a picture frame. I think that's a good, modern and stylish idea.
But back to the real thing. With the filter, the lights in the background look a bit more diffuse and get a slight glow. This creates an atmospheric atmosphere, which I really like. I mainly use the filter for portraits.
I was impressed by my new lens accessories and I like to use them. I've earned five stars.

This K&F black mist filter is awesome - The optical clarity is really good and it comes with a nice, plastic-free case to keep the lens in. Black Mist filters are great to create a nice and soft cinematic look. The body is well machined. From previous experiences with this brand, their customer support is awesome and their products last a long time - I still have lens filters from 5 years ago that work like new! They're pretty scratch resistant as well. I would honestly not choose anything but K&F concept lens filters at this point, they make awesome stuff and I'm really happy about receiving this - I can confidently recommend this!

With its Black Mist effect, this filter provides soft lights, reduces harsh contrasts and gives your pictures a dreamy, slightly foggy atmosphere — perfect for atmospheric portraits or cinematic shots.
Thanks to the ultra-low reflection and the high-quality multi-nano coating (Nano-Xcel Pro), the image quality remains clear and free from annoying light reflections. A must-have for anyone who wants to add a special look to their photos and videos!

I mainly use the filter for video recordings with fixed focal lengths, and it provides exactly the effect I was hoping for: soft contrasts, slight blooming in light sources — all without being excessive.
