I've been using various K&F Concept filters for years, so I was particularly curious about this combination filter of soft and crap effect — especially for portraits and night shots. The filter does exactly what is promised: it provides a softer, dreamier image with a slight glow around light sources without the entire image losing sharpness. This is particularly appealing when there is backlight and selective light sources — faces look a bit softer, lights glow pleasantly cinematic.

What I like: The filter is manufactured to a high quality, is easy to screw onto the lens and looks sturdy. The effect is visible, but not exaggerated — it develops its character, especially in weaker light. In daylight, the difference is more subtle, but still visible when you look closely. For me, it's a good mix — not too much, but enough to achieve a specific look directly when shooting or filming, without having to tinker with lengthy effects in post-production.

Sure, a lot of it can also be created with Lightroom or Photoshop — but anyone who likes to work creatively “in the camera” or appreciate the analog look will certainly appreciate this filter. I now regularly use it for portraits and twilight shots — especially when I want to achieve that soft vintage look without the image looking artificial.

For the price, this is a very successful tool for anyone who wants to give their pictures more atmosphere and character — with little effort but a visible effect.
