K&F Makes Great Filters, and These Are No Exception
K&F is a surprisingly good brand for photographic filters and other gear. I've grown to prefer their filters over even the older, more established makers.
This set will be great for someone who doesn't already have a polarizing filter, or even if they just don't have a multi-coated one. It has a very thing ring, keeping it out of the view of wide-angle lenses, and there's no ghosting from reflections on the back side of the filter from the objective lens.
However, if you already have a good polarizing filter, you might just want to pick up the black mist filter if you can find it by itself. The 1/4 is very subtle, but it still manages to impart a sense of smoothness even in full daylight. If you want a more pronounced effect, you might look at the 1/2. I personally wouldn't bother with the 1/8, since I think it would be such a subtle effect that it would be negligible. The 1/4, though, is just "there" enough to be useful, and I'm happy with the results.
I can easily recommend both of these filters, either together or separately.
