52mm Black Soft Diffusion 1 Filter with 28 Multi-Layer Coatings Hydrophobic/Scratch Resistant
SKU: KF01.1662
It has good picture quality. The frames are made of metal and can be easily screwed to my lens. The glass has no scratch. The small container for the filter can be easily transported on the go.

Magnets are magic. Don't get me wrong, these magnets just aren't quite as strong as I would prefer for something covering my expensive glass. The Black Soft Diffusion Filter is interesting. Wouldn't be my first choice next time, but it provides an interesting softening of light sources like campfires, night lights, etc. A bit spooky, but subtle.

I have the K&F magnet system on all my lenses and, in addition to the Black Mist, I have several of the appropriate ND and CPL filters here. They're so handy, easily stackable and the connection is strong enough that I don't have to worry about one of them falling off. The black fog effect is very low here and is only really noticeable with a lot of backlighting. Many cheaper filters often have a color cast, but I didn't notice that at all with the K&F.
The only downside is that with my Sony lenses, at least the included magnetic caps are really hard to pull off when you have the lens hood on the lens (either forwards or backwards). A grippy element on the front of the cap would have helped. I could 3D print a holder and glue it there to fix it. As the caps aren't really the main reason for using a magnetic filter system although I still give 5 stars they would have been a nice bonus if they worked well but they aren't really critical to the product.

I bought this filter to test it against the Tiffen brand Pro-Mist and it didn't disappoint. There is a video on YouTube comparing these two filters side by side and the K&F is definitely a competitor. The price is fair which I liked, it also came in a nice container. Don't pay too much for the tiffen in my opinion.

For the price that doesn't blow it, it's easy to put on and take off. Ideal for amateur photographers getting more creative.

Very well suited for shots of silky water. Quality glass and threads are essential for any serious photographer.

Overall very happy with the filter. Great quality. I bought the 52mm version. Used 2 of my kit lenses and no problems. Very easy to install and remove from the lens. Easy to clean. Should last a very long time.

If you want to find out more about it, check out "Paul Jonack" on YouTube, where I upload helpful tricks, tips on the subject of videography and photography. Can definitely say that buying the filter was a really good decision the whole picture is very beautiful, skin tones are softened and lights shine in a completely new light. Can recommend the part 100% is definitely worth the money.

This filter is the cinema. Its the perfect strength for any video work and photos as well although the 1/8 might be better for regular client work. Watching footage shot with this filter is an experience in itself. Quality retention is spot on. My only regret is not buying the 82mm so I wouldn't have to buy more than one. I would recommend this for anyone looking for that "Cinematic Look". This is it. This is the cinema.
