It is a filter designed for videos and to give a "vintage" touch to the final result. In short: wonderful result also for photography. This is a useful filter for reportage or portrait or landscape narration. You don't lose sharpness and you get much less "pulled" light that also expands in the shadowed area. It is a filter to be used in photography with large apertures and which "tells" an atmosphere. Technical review: It has no dominant details, so it leaves the colors similar to the photo taken without filter. Great ! It doesn't make light, you don't need to increase the Iso when you mount it. Great ! The sharpness in the details (and here is the beauty) remains almost unchanged. You don't lose sharpness in focus areas although I wouldn't use it in ultrafine landscape photography but for a storybook, outdoors or portrait together absolutely you. Autofocus is not affected by the filter, at least not on the Nikon D750 with fixed lenses. Use/Effect: This is a filter that gives a glowing effect to photos, especially special for videos and hard-light or backlit portraits. The reflections are lowered but without becoming dull, moreover the light "penetrates" into the shadows, giving a very soft "glow" effect. Ideal for portraiture or to give a more dreamy atmosphere, eliminates image clarity in high contrast areas. In the photos you can see some comparisons without filter / with filter, two portrait photos together and what comes to you. Bottom Line: This is a filter you don't think you could fit into your kit, but when it comes in, it has such a distinctive result that you try it in any situation. Absolutely to try!

K&F contacted me to test the new Black Mist filter. It's a filter designed for videos that gives a "vintage touch" to the end result. In short: a wonderful result for photography too. It is a useful filter for portrait or landscape reportage or storytelling. You do not lose sharpness and you get a much less “burnt” light, which stretches even in the shadowed area. It's a filter that can be used in high aperture photography that "tells" an atmosphere. But let's start from the beginning. Packaging/handling: In addition to the plastic box, the filter is placed in a very durable and protective snap-on housing. The filter is a screw (rightly so, because it was created for video masers and in any case up to 82 diameters). I would have preferred a cardboard box. But the case you can see in the picture (the round one) is very useful and sturdy. The filter is durable and screws well onto all the targets I've mounted. Technical review: It has no dominant details, so the colors remain similar to the photo taken without any filter. Great! There is no light, you don't need to increase the iso when you mount it. Great! The sharpness in detail (and here comes the beauty) remains almost unchanged. They don't lose sharpness in the areas of focus, even if I wouldn't use them in Ultra-Defined Landscape photography, but for a storytelling, outdoor or portrait set, absolutely you. Autofocus is not affected by the filter, at least not on the Nikon D750 with fixed lenses. Use/Effect: It is a filter that gives photos a glow effect, very specific especially for videos and portraits in hard light or backlight. The highlights are flattened without becoming dull, and the light "enters" the shadows, giving a very soft "glow" effect. Ideal for portraits or to give a more dreamy atmosphere, eliminates clarity of the image in high-contrast areas. In the photos you can see some comparisons without filter/with filter, two portrait photos and what to expect. Result in short: it's a filter that you won't believe will fit in your kit, but when it does, it has such a special result that you'd try it in any situation. Be sure to try it!

This thing is huge and is perfect for portrait photography ! Highly recommend!

really wasn't sure what to expect from this filter. I mean I know what technically it should have done but I've been fooled before with bad results and not knowing this brand. I was ready to be disappointed, but I certainly wasn't. This filter offers a beautifully softening effect that doesn't blur so much but maintains decent focus while producing a very soft touch of haze. It's very delicate and a really nice tool in a portrait photographer's arsenal. It also has a beautiful effect on candles and sharp points of light, creating a soft hue or softened aura around the light source. It looks a bit "dreamy" if that helps paint the picture. I've used this filter with my primary Nikon portrait lens and intend to continue shooting with it to learn more about it, but so far it's been quite an exciting discovery. I will say that while this filter is safe enough, it does not fit my lens threads as closely as I am more used to. Something doesn't seem right, but they're not binding, so I'll leave it alone well enough. I'm very impressed with this filter and think it's pretty good value.

Great filter for portrait and street photography, gives the photos a cinematic look.
