52mm 1/8 Black Mist filter, high definition, waterproof anti-reflection green film, Nano-Dazzle Series
SKU: KF01.2199
A filter that softens the extreme sharpness of some lenses and gives visible light sources a pleasant glowing effect. It seems a bit the opposite of what one would want (i.e. sharpness), but in reality the end effect is far more cinematic and natural to the eye. Now I use it often in the video and also in the photos. I wasn't aware of the brand and it's not like the original Pro Mist or other top brands in terms of ring construction but it does the job

I thought for a long time whether I should buy the filter, but from the very first photo with the filter I was super happy with the result of the picture look! The lights in the picture become nice and soft and there is a kind of "glow" around the light source. I've also used the filter several times when filming. The filter creates an image that you can't get anywhere else, it looks similar to film productions. Can recommend the filter with a clear conscience!

I ordered the filter out of curiosity about photography. The workmanship is very good. The thread is cut cleanly and is easy to screw in. A corrugation over the entire outer ring to hold it better would have been nice. But there is a corrugation on the edge! See image. The filter is delivered in a plastic box that is usual for filters.
The quality:
In my test shots, there was no color slipping into magenta or green. Edge blurring or vignetting was not visible to me. The effect is particularly interesting for portraits with an open aperture. Here we get a dreamy bokeh and, depending on the lighting, fairytale-like shots. The skin is slightly softened without squishing the whole structure. The filter will also offer many possibilities for the coming Christmas season.
Conclusion: Great filter, well made. I can recommend him.
For me, an extremely useful extension for creative photographers.

If you want to add a subtle vintage cinematic touch to your photos, this is your filter.
I love the build quality and strength.
Tested on Sony Alpha 6400 with a 50mm f1.8

I've never heard of the brand before, but was pleasantly surprised that it has similar quality to Neewer filters for the price.
Only the thread doesn't work so well.
What does the filter actually do? He draws the picture softer like with a cloud or fog in front. So in itself sharp but softer.
Especially when light or twilight and fire are involved, I find it very beautiful, because it takes away the concentrated sharpness and it has something cozy.
It's kind of reminiscent of a video film look.
At the same time, with the filter, you also lose sharpness details (clearly understandable when blurring) and also a bit of aperture.
Theoretically, the effect could also be partially reproduced in image editing programs, but if you want to have direct photos without much post-processing, the filter is in good hands.

The K&F Concept brand photo filter, model 1/4 58 centimeters Pro Black Mist, is light and thin and is suitable for those who do not have a big budget and want to achieve cinematographic effects with their digital camera.
The material is metal and durable, but I recommend being careful with glass. With a small piece, it is easy to clean and packaging is included to store in a bag.
When used for portrait photography, it softens the skin and reduces skin defects right in space, reducing excessive post-processing.
It is able to increase contrast and reduce shadows, especially when shooting on sunny days. You can use an open aperture and get a blurred effect with more intense colors. Ideal for those who like to shoot portraits or events and don't prefer the external flash.

The filter fits very well on my Sony A55 camera. It not only draws something softer, but also protects the lens from scratches. Even light effects are not so hard but more dreamy. The quality is very good and there is also a storage option.

Looking for a good and especially cheap filter. I chose this Mist 1/4 filter from the brand, K&F Concept. The filter can be used very well in the evening as well as during the day.

The 1/4 Black Mist Diffusion Filter from "K&F Concept" (never heard of) arrives at home well protected in a filter box. I ordered this filter for my Canon FD 50/1.4 ssc (filter diameter 55mm) and what I noticed right away was that the filter hesitates when I try to screw it on....this can then be a bit of a game of patience, but you have it sometimes once the start of the thread is caught, it can be screwed on without any further problems. The image quality is not negatively affected by the filter, it just becomes a bit softer (dreamier), mainly when light is involved. I could still show pictures of my daughter (from my hobby studio) with light from behind, but you're not allowed to anymore. I think you can see what the filter does from the two pictures I posted. If it weren't for the fumbling to screw it on, he would have gotten all 5 from me, so it's still a very good 4.

Good Pro Mist filter, useful for "smoothing" the highlights of your photos, softening them and giving them a "cinematic" look. You can see the effect very well in the example photos where the one with the halo around the highlights is clearly the one with the filter. The filter is also useful for softening skin tones, hiding imperfections and generally making skin feel more comfortable.
The quality of this filter is more than good compared to the price it is sold at. The transparency is excellent and the filter does not degrade the image, except for an obviously less sharp rendering, which should not be considered a defect but only a consequence of the filter. Build quality is good and the filter screws and unscrews the lens on and off well without any hesitations.
It certainly rivals slightly more expensive products and is a good choice for those who want to experiment with filters without spending capital. Recommended!
