I have a Black Mist Pro 1/8 filter that I use quite a bit, but wanted to try a 1/4 for a more pronounced "bloom" in conjunction with a dream sequence I was shooting. I've seen the K&F 1/4 Black Diffusion Filter for about 20% less than the cost of a Black Mist Pro so thought I'd give it a try. I've used K&F filters before and have always been happy with them, although perceived as lower quality filters by some "professionals". I'm happy to say that the K&F 1/4 Black Diffuser is every bit as good as the Black Mist Pro equivalent and achieves exactly the effect I was looking for with no distortion or color cast. And if you consider the magnetic docking system I would say that it's even better than the Black Mist Pro filter (this is the first magnetic filter I've used and I love it). The price/performance ratio for this filer is excellent.

have the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II which is a Micro 4/3 camera. As a result, the lenses are tiny and have 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. It's all subjective, but I tend to prefer the look of the Tiffen Black Pro-Mist. The K&F is a bit too blooming and the image loses a lot of contrast. This makes the K&F less versatile. Meanwhile, the Tiffen is more balanced, with less bloom and higher contrast. It's perfectly acceptable for everyday use. Given the low price of this K&F filter, I'm still keeping it. But if I had to pick one, it would undoubtedly be the Tiffen Black Pro Mist Filter.

Really nice quality filter, comparable to more expensive brands. Has that black pro mist look. Softens things and gives lights a bit of glow. The he 1/4 does enough but id be curious to play with the stronger versions too.

A 1/4 Black Mist filter with 82mm diameter is supplied. This is run on a Nikon D750 and a Nikon Z6II on a 24-70mm 2.8f G2. The filter basically fits on the lens, but cannot be screwed on smoothly. When screwing it on, it jams more often than other filters such as those made by Rollei, Gobe or URTH.

The filter itself arrives in protected packaging in pristine condition.
The strength 1/4 not quite as glowy/misty as the 1/2.

The Black Mist effect can be used variably. It works best with neon tubes or other bright lights. Really good for portrait shoots (in a parking garage, in the evening), for example. Certainly also a special effect, which is achieved by the filter. The "Black Mist" filter creates a kind of fog softener effect. I'll also use the filter at a sundowner during a portrait shoot and see what kind of pictures I can achieve there.

Apart from the not so outstanding filter thread, the filter can certainly be used well for experimental photography. Not everyone likes this effect; therefore, be careful when using the filter.

Very good filter that does not attract too much attention like the Black Pro Mist whose personality is way too strong for my taste. As for this article, it is included in the proposal. The filter is of excellent manufacturing quality. I was very surprised considering I used the Cinebloom a while back, which is a mid-range filter.
