I love soft and diffused light in my photos. That's what the Black Diffusion Filter is made for, and it just does it. In connection with my favorite lens (18mm 1.4) just great. I have so much fun with the photos and also do some of my weeding shoots with this filter.
The light becomes much softer and more diffuse. In my opinion a really great effect. In addition, K&F can once again convince with workmanship and material. The filter can be easily screwed on and dismantled again. I haven't had any problems with step-up rings either.
I've attached two photos. Of course it's my own style, but you get an impression of how the filter works. A clear recommendation from my side.

The filter is well made and does exactly what a black diffusion filter should do. With a low price, it is particularly interesting to try out this type of filter, as it is more of a special filter.
Photographically, the filter reduces the contrasts and softens the highlights in the shadows. This creates a slightly softer image with a "dreamy" look. The effect is particularly evident with high contrasts, such as lighting at night. Attached is an example image with a chain of lights in the dark room. This clearly shows the effect. Recordings at night with individual light sources (e.g. car headlights) are the primary use cases for me. Personally, I see more added value in videography for the filter to create a cinematic look.

Of course, in preparation for our round trip, we also needed a good filter system. We spent months reading, getting information, watching and comparing videos. In the end we decided on this system. And that was a great decision! There are definitely better systems out there, but also for a lot more money. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether a hobby photographer really needs it. With this system, we are talking about real glass - not plastic! The glass is not colored but coated, so there are no distortions or blurring at the edges. The only drawback is that the glasses are quite difficult to slide into the holder - BUT nothing slips out and nothing slips. Perfect for quick position changes. We got used to it quickly. The results with the filter are as desired, there is nothing to complain about. We are thrilled and would choose this filter system again and again. We bought the kit with the holder including all adapter rings, the graduated filters, the 64 and the 1000 - everything was great! Have fun capturing memories!

I bought the filter holder system together. The adapter rings cover all possible lens diameters, are made of metal and fit perfectly. Because of the tight mechanics on the right, I always equip the actual filter holder with plug-in shafts for a maximum of 2 filters before locking it on the adapter ring, which is less fiddly. The holder can be easily rotated so that it can be slanted, but it holds well and does not slip further by itself. The filter itself is also very secure and has to be pushed with force, which, however, secures it against falling. At the price maximum purchase recommendation!

After a long research and many comparisons, I decided on this ND8 gray filter. The decisive factor for me was the price / performance ratio, which I think fits very well. The filter is top processed, without a visible color cast and just does exactly what it is supposed to. It helps to extend the exposure time slightly or, in bright sunshine, makes it possible to take pictures with an open aperture.

Came in quality packaging. Adapter rings were in individual bags but don’t see that as a drawback.
Hoping the glass is a better choice than resins that scratch...will just need to be careful not to drop them.
Needed a 10 stop Nd filter for long exposure and decided after reading reviews to buy this bundle instead of buying a smaller cokin p size to go with and older format Hi-Tech system I have. So glad I did.
I LOVE how easy this is to attach to the lens. I need to take more shots...but so far I am not getting any color cast. I shoot raw anyway so it isn’t a deal breaker. I LOVE the glass. Because the set screw was a bit fussy on my Hi-Tech holder, I opted most times not to carry it with me. I would rather fuss with composition and camera settings than fuss with a filter holder. This one will be in my bag from now on for sure. It’s simple to set up in the field.
Update 10/12/19. Put this set thru it’s paces on a photo shoot in Hawaii. Professional photographer was impressed with the 10 stop glass. No color cast. Easy to use. Got the 6 stop and 10 stop glass. Highly recommend both. I just need to get a 3stop to complete my set.

Excellent has nothing to envy more products at a higher price than at a good price. Always proven with an ND64 filter from the K&F Concept: easy to use and safe. Just "small" neo the presence of only two sleds, but you can't ask for more. Filter almost neutral and requires no post-production correction. counselled

Very well packaged and presented. Excellent quality and great value for money. Can't wait to try everything when the weather gets better.

I am super satisfied with the filter, does what it is supposed to do without changing the colour. I use it in a Rollei filter holder and it works without any problems.
