Add that professional touch to images
For some time now, brands like K&F have brought quality filters closer to more and more users. Previously, for filters of this level, it was necessary to invest 2/3 times more. Now, you can get them at a price, which without being cheap, is much more reasonable and without sacrificing quality.
The first thing you notice when you receive it is the quality of construction, with a metal frame and glass that does not give a feeling of fragility. The filter has the correct weight, neither too heavy to unbalance the lens nor so light as to appear to be of low quality. The 36 layers of nano coating are not just a marketing term; when you work in difficult conditions such as backlighting or night scenes with many light sources, the low reflectivity (which according to specifications is 0.15%) is immediately noticeable, eliminating those annoying phantom flashes that ruin so many shots.
I've done several tests between this filter and applying similar effects in post-production, and the difference is substantial. The effect it achieves on the skin is soft and natural, blending imperfections without looking artificial, something that is very difficult to replicate in editing. And keep in mind the amount of hours that are saved.
The 1/8 effect is subtle but definitely perceptible, ideal for those looking for that cinematic touch without exaggeration. Intense lights acquire a soft halo that adds character to the image, and skin tones look more uniform without losing texture. Video is especially useful for creating that aspect of a film that is so much sought after today. However, keep in mind that it is not the right filter for all situations; in landscape or architectural photography where you want to capture maximum detail, this filter can reduce sharpness, although in a very subtle way.
The thread fits the lenses perfectly, without getting stuck or loose, making it easy to switch quickly between shots. The price may seem high compared to other options on the market, but after trying cheaper filters that generated unwanted color dominants or irregular effects, it's a worthwhile investment for the consistency and quality of the results.
