72mm Black Mist 1/4 Special Effects Filter Cinebloom Black Diffusion Effect - Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.1482
I'm a big fan of the magnetic filter kits - this is actually my second one from K&F Concept. The magnets are strong enough to provide secure hold, but are still easy to change without fumbling or fear of dropping. p
These diffusion filters create nice pretty effects in my test shots. I love how they look with warm light, but they create some really fun and cool effects with colorful studio-type lighting as well. I really am happy with this set, and I would recommend it.

This is my initial review for the K&F Concept Magnetic Black Soft Diffusion, and I'll continue updating it as I am using it.
I am so excited to have this K&F Concept Diffusion. I received it this evening and I am in love. I have ordered similar diffuser from a different brand before from B&H and have been disappointed with it, but this one is a whole different story. I love the magnetic feature, it's so intuitive and stupid easy to use. It is true to the picture, maybe even prettier! It's very high quality and it looks exactly like advertised. I love the details, I am always trying to find great deals like this one. I find it very well priced for the quality that it offers, everything about it is screaming premium. It feels very well made, durable and easy to use. I really enjoy the design and functionality. At my age I am always searching for products and items that can make my life easier and better in whatever way. This product has improved my quality of life, I just keep recommending it to friends and family, I will defiantly do another order soon. I am extremely satisfied with it and I do recommend it 100 percent. Definitely a great experience, no complaints whatsoever. All around great product and worth every penny!

Great product, you can also use it as an ND filter. Anyway, everything looks much better when I use it in filming, I'd love to apply some YouTube videos here, but damn Amazon blocks all reviews that have links to YouTube.

I own Tiffen's Black Promist 1/8 and 1, so I know of their quality. Thought I'd try this new filter from K&F and I'm pleasantly surprised! Very good quality and definitely an alternative to the Pro Mist for people to consider. It takes wonderful pictures.

bought this 72MM filter to support the Sigma 18-35 and it is now essential for my video productions. There is an analog effect that softens the images, the flapping around the lights is perfect and doesn't spoil the production quality. It is double-threaded to layer multiple filters and comes with a hard carrying case for safe transport within a non-slip triangle (can be used with different filter sizes). At the current price is a must.

It is a “magical” filter for portraits. It softens skin tones and imperfections.
I wish I had known about it years ago.
Absolutely love it. Highly recommend.

I have worked with K&F Concept filters in the past and generally had good experiences with them. They're good, mid-range quality filters at (usually) a budget price. I haven't worked with any black diffusion filters prior to this one so I have no basis against which to compare, but so far it seems to work as designed and seems to be made very well.
In a nutshell, this type of filter softens light a bit, causing some gentle halos around light sources, without impacting image sharpness or detail. Where I have seen the most noticeable impact is in images where there otherwise would be a lot of shadows and contrast; instead of stark contrast and strong shadows, the filter has the effect of brightening up the shadows somewhat and creating smoother color gradients. Sure, this can be done in software after the fact, but it is a lot easier to do this at the time the image is taken and it certainly is a lot less work.
The filter is very easy to install. This is my first magnetic filter and it is as easy to attach to my camera as I could have hoped. The threaded ring attaches to the lens in the same manner as a step ring or another filter, and the filter itself just snaps securely into place due to the magnetics. Removing the filter is just as simple, especially if you choose to leave the magnetic ring in place on the lens.
The assembly seems to be well made. I have had filters in the past that have been poorly constructed and rattle in the frames when shaken, or have been mildly blemished, or just felt cheap. This filter has none of those issues and appears to be well made.
This is a nice black diffusion filter. It's easy to install and use, and it just works. I will be using it more in the coming weeks.

Unfortunately I don't have any photos to attach as an example but this filter is great for the value, I think I'll take more

Please note that a 1/4 diffusion filter is a fairly strong diffuser, so make sure that you want that level of softening for your shots.
If so, this is a great option at this price point. The build quality feels solid, and I did not see any flaws in the optics. The magnetic attachment between the ring (which screws in as normal), the filter, and the lens cap works surprisingly well. I wish this were universal, although if your camera takes a lot of abuse I would still go with the traditional screw-in filters. A good smack will dislodge everything.

The Diffusion Filter "Mist" does what it advertises. It's a softer image with "blooming" lights, especially when backlit. I double stack my filter with a Prime Lens Effect Dream Filter for an extra dreamy look. I can only recommend it.
