I bought this filter to remove the sharpness and the too digital look that today's cameras have. The quality of this Black Pro Mist from KeF is excellent, the result is identical to the more expensive filters from Nisi.
The effect it gives is mainly marked when we frame light sources, creates the halo of light around the main source, whether it is the sun or an artificial light.
Great for giving a vintage and particular touch to your photos / videos

An absolute necessity if one is recording or photographing people for interviews or portraits. Today's hi-resolution digital sensors are simply not flattering to the skin. Yes, for stills one can soften skin in post, but it is more challenging to do that in video. 1/4 Filter is strong enough to flatter the skin, but doesn't over-soften the entire image--it is good for both men and women, although 1/8 Filter would work as well, but be a bit more subtle.

When I first found out about this lens filter, I knew I needed it. I've spent so long in editing programs just to get a subpar hazy/soft affect on my photos, but this filter is what I've needed this whole time to streamline my photography workflow. It's the perfect filter for that dreamy film affect!
The top photo is without the filter, the bottom photo was taken just a second later with the filter. It ads a beautiful softness and warmth to the photos!

Great filters from K&F. I lean towards using the 1/8th. Over the 1/4 but everyone is different. Not sure why the case has to be that big though. Its noticiable in your camera bag/Nanuk case

I've been using a smaller-diameter K&F Concept Black Diffusion 1/4 with my 35mm prime, now I've got this larger 77mm-diameter set for my Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8. I live near the water and I really enjoy the way these expand highlights from the opposite shore.

Well made and adds a very subtle change to your photos and video that make them feel more real. Adds a light smoothness and maintains sharpness well.
Great product sold in with a solid protective hard case.

If you’re looking for some good quality black diffusion filters, it’s hard to beat K&F Concepts at this price point. The quality of materials, fit and finish. And overall clarity and effects of this product, provides a fantastic way to add a great tool to your photography toolbox.
At the time of me writing this, many people have already described these filters abilities and what you can get out of them, so I’m not going to get into any of that. I will however agree with the abilities of these two lenses and say that I’ve found them to achieve exactly what I hoped for and with a clarity and quality you’d expect.
Overall, this product is made very well, it fits perfect on my lens and does a fantastic job at what it’s intended to do. If you would like to add the abilities of black diffusion filters to your bag of tricks, this is a great choice that I highly recommend for this price point.
I have included some pictures and video to help show the quality of the product. I hope you found this information to be helpful in your decision.

I haven't yet tried this with video, but with images this really softens edges and it is like viewing the subject through a thin mist and these vastly reduce and eliminate glare, which is the whole point of a diffusion filter. If you are shooting in bright sun, at the beach or in a garden, and are having issues with flare and glare, then these are your go-to filters.

I really wasn't sure of what to expect from this filter. I mean, I know what it should have done technically but I have been fooled before with poor quality results and not knowing this brand I was prepared to be let down but I certainly have not been. This filter provides a beautifully softening effect that does not so much outright blur but rather seems to maintain a decent focus while creating a very soft hint of haze. It is very delicate and is a really nice tool to have in a portrait photographer's arsenal. It also has a nice effect on candle and sharp points of lights, creating a softened hue or aura around the light source. It looks a little "dreamy", if that helps to paint the picture.
I used this filter with my primary Nikon portrait lens and I intend to continue shooting with it to learn more about it but to this point, it has been a rather exciting discovery.
I will say that, although secure enough, I do find that this filter does not fit my lense threads as precisely as I am more accustom to. Something seems off but they are not binding, so I will leave well enough alone.
I am very impressed with this filter and think it fairly priced.
Definitely recommended.

Technically, we've definitely got to a point where the cameras are so good that much of the magic has been lost. Diffusion seems like a great way to bring some of that flavor back into your creative work. Atrium and softer edges without the highlights blooming into a soft, warm mess.
