82mm Black Mist 1/4 Special Effects Filter Cinebloom Black Diffusion Effect - Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.1484
I normally use 1/8 strength diffusion filters which just lowers the contrast a bit and adds some bloom to the highlights. I was shooting a project where I wanted a bit more of a dreamy look to it so I wanted to try this as it should be just a bit strong than a 1/8th strength but not make my footage look too dreamy looking. It did indeed do just that. I noticed so real color cast with this filter. I got stronger bloom in the highlights and just gave my footage a softer more film like look.
Just be sure you want a stronger effect that a 1/4 filter can give you. If it's too strong K&F does make a 1/8 strength black diffusion filter that is excellent.
The magnetic system works very well. I wish all filters used this type of easy to use quick release system.

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.

As someone who is heavy into video production I am extremely familiar with diffusion filters. I have used them on various projects for quite a while now. What makes this filter from K&F Concept so special besides the awesome look is the magnetic filter system. Having recently purchased a few more different magnetic filters this concept has quickly grown on me and I have almost switched all the way over.
The Diffusion filter does exactly what it should do, no more or less. The filter gives tons more character to your digital images from your DSLR. The magic of the filter is that it causes the highlights (especially light sources) to quite literally glow. The effect adds a dreamy look of halation to the highlights, a common look of feature film styles. I have included a screengrab of a music video I shot using the filter.
In the box you get the diffusion filter, an adapter ring and the lens cap. All of these items are magnetic and snap right into each other. You simply screw the adapter ring into your lens thread and then you just snap the diffusion filter on within seconds you have the dreamy look you have been waiting for.

I bought this filter to remove the sharpness and overly digital look of today's machines. The quality of this keF Black Pro Mist is excellent, the result is identical to the most expensive filters from Nisi. The effect, which is mainly characterized when framing light sources, creates the licho of the light around the main source, be it the sun or an artificial light. Great for adding a special touch to your photos/videos

Easy to attach and noticeable flowering effect in strong sunlight. Works even smoother at dawn

Sits well on Fuji x100v. I tried it at night, the diffusion is good and the contrast is also preserved.

Focusing on post-processing shots, I tried this filter with the only lighting from an electric garland and tightened the rendering so that the light from the garland is more diffused and softer. Can't wait to use it in night video when restrictions are lifted.

I know a lot of people say that the black fog effect can be added in the post, but personally I just wanted one anyway. I chose this after watching some YouTube videos because I loved the intensity of the effect. Makes people's skin nice and soft and I get this beautiful bloom. Just sucks, I still have an 8-bit Sony a7iii so I sometimes find that the glow has some small artifacts, but that's from the camera and not the filter, so a 10-outta-10 product for me. Walked in exactly when it should have been. Absolutely no problem.
