Let's start at the beginning. What does a "crap filter" do? It ensures that lights get a "blurr effect". In German the lights look a bit hazy. This can create a really cool look in film productions, but is also really useful for photos for portraits etc. For example, a chain of lights in the background of the model or similar
Autofocus works perfectly with the Sony A7 Mark 2 and the Kito lens.
What I find absolutely awesome is the "packaging" or where the filter is stored. Nothing wobbles here! This is rock solid and can even be used for other filter sizes.
Oh: Despite the filter, the lens hood and the protective cap for the lens fit without any problems.
Processing as always top! no plastic ;-)

I've used this filter a couple of times for my creative photography and videography in a couple of instances and i can tell you K&F Concept nailed it again.
I can't post images of content i was paid for due to contractual reasons, but this is definitely a professional grade filter.
I noticed no image resolution degradation, no white balance issues, no vignetting or distortion when the filter was on.
It arrived on a rather large protecting case that i discarded right away and it was unwieldy, hard and larger than it needed to be, but i own a K&F filter pouch (shown on pictures, not included with the filter) that i use.
Despite not liking the carrying case, this is a GREAT Black Mist filter, it feels premium on your hands, mounting was smooth, it feels sturdy and while i did NOT test scratch resistance i trust K&F Concept products.
Great value for a premium filter, i would recommend it to anyone who is in the market for one.

I’ll be honest up front, I ordered this mistaking it for an ND filter, I’ve decided to keep this though as I really like the effect it produces.
I’ve been getting into landscape photography and wanted an Nd filter but ordered this by mistake, after having a play and wanting to eventually push into portrait I decided to give it a try.
The results are surprising good, it adds a nice glow to bright light sources that give the images some warmth.
The filter is presented in a lovely case with rubber wedges inside that hold the filter in place so it doesn’t slip around.
I can see me using this for product photography and portraits and so far have really enjoyed it
Pros
- nice glow
- gives images a warmer feel
- excellent storage case
Cons
- none ( although keep in mind you may need to adjust exposure times slightly due to very minimal tint )

Works as advertised. Portraits have a dreamy look to it but it’s subtle compared to the moment cinebloom filter. Construction isn’t as nice as the moment but images still look good.

Very good Mist Filter. I use it for music videos where I want to get a more vintage look and it gets the job done.

I like it. Make sure to clean every so often or you’ll see reflections from the exchange between the lens and the filter in your picture

Instead of getting really harsh highlights, having this on really helps on making it look smoother and making shots look nicer. Great for photos and videos.

I heard so many good things about this product I had to buy it. This filter was highly recommended by a lot of reviewers. Great quality!

This filter is so good at what it does. The amount of skin smoothing/softening that this brings, in a good way, is astounding.
It makes editing footage so much easier. This is seriously a must have if you shoot video.
For photography, not so much. I prefer to do all of that in post because you will kill some sharpness that you probably want to retain. But for video, get it.
