K&F Concept 58mm Black Diffusion 1/4 Filter Mist Cinematic Effect Filter with 28 Multi-Layer Coatings Waterproof/Scratch Resistant for Video/Vlog/Portrait Photography

I bought this filter to test it out vs the Tiffen brand pro mist and it did not disappoint. Theres a video on YouTube that compares these two filters side by side and the K&F is definitely a competitor. Price is fair which I liked, it came in a nice container as well. In my opinion dont overpay for the Tiffen.

This is great if used in the right situations. I like to use it on my Fujifilm cameras. Build quality is as expected which is pretty decent. I have no complaints. If you don't like this one, you should try a "Glimmer Glass" filter.

The “mist” diffusion filter does what it advertises. It’s a softer image with “blooming” highlights especially if backlit.I double stack my filter with a prime lens effect dream filter for an extra dreamy look.I totally recommend this.

This filter is the cinema. Its the perfect strength for any video work and photos as well although the 1/8 might be better for regular client work. Watching footage shot with this filter is an experience in itself. Quality retention is spot on. My only regret is not buying the 82mm so I wouldn't have to buy more than one. I would recommend this for anyone looking for that "Cinematic Look". This is it. This is the cinema.

I have the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II which is a Micro 4/3's camera. As such, the lenses are tiny with less glass to cover, making the price of these filters extremely low. So I bought both this K&F Concept 58mm Black Soft Filter 1/4 and the infamous Black Pro-Mist 1/4 Filter. This is all subjective, but I prefer the look of the Tiffen black pro mist more. The K&F is a bit too bloomy, and the image loses a lot of contrast. That makes the K&F less versatile. Meanwhile, the Tiffen is more balanced, with less bloom and higher contrast. Making it perfectly acceptable for everyday use.Given the low price of this K&F filter, I'll still keep it. But, If I had to choose one, it would undoubtedly be the Tiffen Black Pro Mist filter.

While a great misty filter, I can sometimes see the black dots in my photos even though the lens, glass, and sensor are cleaned so I know it’s the filter itself. It often messes up my camera’s autofocus as it tries to focus on the spots on the filter. When it all works properly it’s a great filter and makes for some cool looking diffused photos.

So far so good. It adds the right amount of haze for portraits to make it's stylistic. It doesn't add too much in my opinion, and the picture is still pretty sharp.I included a test shot below, which I took of a friend of mine in direct sunlight with a star filter and a ND filter as well (with this filter below)

Great filter for portrait and street photography, it adds cinema graphic look to the photos.

Comparable to Tiffin Pro Mist1/4 in respect of performance.Recommended.

Habe schon originale Tiffen Black Mist 1/4 zuhause und kann daher einen Vergleich aufstellen: Diese hier von K&F sind definitiv von minderer Qualität was das Gewinde und den Filterrahmen betrifft. Er ist scharfkantig und sitzt recht locker. Auch das Glas scheint viel dünner zu sein als bei den Tiffen. ABER: sie sind entspiegelt (was auch der einzige Grund sein sollte, diese statt den Tiffen zu kaufen), das reduziert das lästige ghosting.Nun aber zum eigentlichen Kritikpunkt:Wie auf dem Foto zu sehen ist die beschichtung beim linken K&F filter sehr ungleichmäßig. Das führt dazu, dass der Effect ein der einen Bildhälfte eher einem Black mist 1/2 entspricht statt dem 1/4 der anderen Seite. Auch habe ich einen zweiten K&F Filter der insgesamt zwar gleichmäßiger ist, aber trotzt theoretisch gleicher Stärke, eine viel schwächeren Effekt erzielt.Also beim Kauf aufpassen, dass man keine Ausschussware bekommt. Deswegen nur 2 Sterne.

Product sent by supplier was wrong, ordered a 77mm and I received a 82mm, I've had to purchase an additional Step Down ring to convert it as I can't return as it'll take too much time. Other than that, I've played around with the filter already and it's a lot of fun and I'm excited to use it in upcoming projects.

Looks like a great filter to use for my photos and films, but the downside is that they sent the wrong filter size , which most of my lens are 77mm filter size and they sent a 82mm size , come on kandf provide the size for our lens

I own Tiffen's Black Promist 1/8 and 1 so I know of their quality. I thought i'd try this new filter from K&F and I am pleasantly surprised! Very good quality and definitely an alternative of the Pro Mist that people should consider. it renders wonderful images.
