This filter when paired with a magnetic adapter easily allows you to add/remove this filter during your photoshoots to give you an absolutely gorgeous film aesthetic. I especially love this on my Mamiya RB67 with Portra film stocks!

Excellent filter from K&F. Gives some interesting looking effects and I used it for a wedding I attended and for some photos of my newborn grandson. I just don't see myself using it too often, as the effect is good only for specific shots.

I've been using various K&F Concept filters for years, so I was particularly curious about this combination filter with soft and mist effects – especially for portraits and night photography. The filter does exactly what it promises: It creates a softer, more dreamy image with a subtle glow around light sources, without sacrificing overall sharpness. This is especially appealing with backlighting and point light sources – faces appear softer, and lights shimmer with a pleasing cinematic quality.

What I like: The filter is well-made, easy to screw onto the lens, and feels sturdy. The effect is noticeable but not overdone – it really comes into its own in low light. In daylight, the difference is more subtle, but still perceptible if you look closely. For me, it's a good balance – not too much, but enough to achieve a specific look directly while shooting photos or videos, without having to spend a lot of time creating effects in post-processing.

What I like: The filter is well-made, easy to screw onto the lens, and feels sturdy. Sure, many of these effects can also be achieved with Lightroom or Photoshop – but anyone who enjoys working creatively "in-camera" or appreciates the analog look will certainly value this filter. I now use it regularly for portraits and twilight shots – especially when I want to achieve that soft vintage look without the image appearing artificial.

For the price, it's a very successful tool for anyone who wants to add more atmosphere and character to their images – with minimal effort but a noticeable effect.

This filter creates a special, dreamy quality that can certainly come in handy in certain situations. It's a nice little gadget to have readily available in your camera bag without sacrificing too much light or overloading the image with effects.

But actually, I only keep filters like this in my camera bag out of habit. I can't even remember the last time I screwed a filter onto my lens (apart from this test).

I run every important photo through Lightroom anyway, and if I want to add a little bit of whimsy and dreaminess, it's done with a single click.

But that's a discussion that would lead us too far afield here. Anyone who prefers an old-school, purist approach will get a lot of enjoyment out of this high-quality glass…

K&F Concept no será la marca más famosa del mundo pero este filtro en concreto funciona de maravilla, y mira que yo era escéptico con lo del efecto combinado porque normalmente estas cosas de dos en uno no suelen funcionar bien.

El cristal tiene un acabado mate muy sutil que cuando lo miras de cerca parece que está empañado, pero es justo ese efecto el que suaviza las luces altas sin destrozar la imagen. Lo mejor es que no tienes que andar quitando y poniendo filtros diferentes según lo que necesites, este hace las dos cosas a la vez y el resultado es muy natural, nada exagerado. En los retratos que he hecho estos días se nota muchísimo la diferencia, las arrugas y las imperfecciones de la piel se suavizan pero sin dar ese aspecto plastificado que dan algunos filtros baratos, y las luces tienen ese brillo cinematográfico tan bonito que está tan de moda ahora.

El filtro se enrosca sin problemas en mi objetivo de 67mm y no he notado viñeteo ni nada raro, aunque sí es cierto que baja un pelín el contraste general pero eso hasta puede ser una ventaja según lo que busques. Lo único que no me ha gustado mucho es que cuando lo combino con mi filtro ND variable a veces aparecen unos reflejos raros, pero bueno, eso pasa con casi todos los filtros cuando los apilas. La cajita en la que viene está genial para llevarlo protegido en la mochila sin miedo a que se raye.

The K&F combination filter is well-made and fits the lens perfectly. It screws in and out easily, as long as you don't overtighten it. The coating responsible for the effect is visible on the surface. The filter softens the image slightly, especially in backlit situations, giving even extremely sharp, modern lenses a dreamy, soft look. Despite this, the image quality remains high. I'm very satisfied, hence the full five stars.

This is a really great value lens. The product is extremely high quality. It adds a softening and quite nice-looking mist - the product makes photos look quite old, but in a good way, like "dreamy" esque. The product also fits onto my Nikon 50-250 62mm lens very well.

I also found this product to be very scratch-resistant and easy to clean, making sandy photoshoots worth it! I would definitely recommend this product.

This filter is definitely something special. Extremely high-quality workmanship, even with 8K HD, multi-coating, water resistance, and an anti-scratch coating. A written product review certainly can't do justice to its visual qualities, which is why my long-term review is already on its way.

In any case, the workmanship is top-notch, not to mention first-class. The included screw-in case perfectly stabilizes the filter internally and reliably protects it thanks to its robust construction. K&F is already well-known among photographers and videographers for its diverse range of creative filters for professional use, as well as for action cameras. Here, K&F takes it a step further by combining a soft filter with a mist filter.

More is better? Two is better than one? No, actually, one has to say: this creates a completely different kind of visual effect. Perhaps they could have saved themselves the expensive investment in Sony lens equipment, or bought cheap lenses from third-party manufacturers, or simply reverted to the good old lenses from the USSR, if anyone still remembers the term Helios… No, it's something else entirely: high-tech combined with Nano-X. As I said, all the details will be covered in the upcoming video.

The Soft & Mist filter is manufactured to a high standard and offers a reliable fit on the lens – the thread engages cleanly and without play. The combination of soft and mist effects is particularly impressive. The filter gives photos a subtly soft look without completely sacrificing detail. Ideal for portraits or creative shots where a soft, almost cinematic style is desired. A well-designed accessory for anyone who wants to add more character to their images.
