82mm Black Mist 1/4 + ND8-128 Variable ND Filter with Double-sided 28-layer Anti-reflection Green Film and Lever Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.2033
First of all: I have already ordered a couple of other filters from K&F Concept. Otherwise always directly from the manufacturer. The delivery always takes about 14 days but is cheaper. This time I bought it here because there was an offer here on Amazon. In addition, the delivery only takes a few days. About the product: The filter is elegantly and securely packaged. The glow effect is particularly effective at night. This gives the images a vintage film look

The lens is extremely well made and the effects this filter can provide are superb. Excellent construction with precision threads as well as magnetic instant on/off capability. The NANO multi-coating is superb and does NOT produce any artefacts, focus issues or any other issues.
Black Pro-Mist 1/4 filters are used for a number of purposes, not the least of which is to soften skin contrast and create a "dreamy" effect for portraits and general subjects where softened contrast is desired.
This 67mm set is a widely used size of many lenses. For me it's the right size for most of my Tamron lenses as well as the Sony 85mm f/1.8, Sigma 16mm f/1.4 APS-C and my Canon 100mm f/2.8L macro lens. That makes this single filter set an excellent value for the already low price on Amazon.
This particular filter model offers 1/4 diffusion that creates a softer, cinematic effect and is great for both stills and video. This K&F version uses a unique magnetic adapter that screws into the front of the lens and allows 1-second attachment of the Black Pro-Mist 1/4 filter for easy use and removal. Turn on/off immediately.
This makes it incredibly easy to use a camera with or without a filter and not have to screw it in and out repeatedly. Great innovation!
As a YouTube video producer, influencer and vlogger, this filter has been fantastic for spontaneous shots and videos when I see a scene or shot that would benefit greatly from some softening... especially of people for live action or portraits when outdoors record in bright light or sunshine. Shadows are not affected and reflections are softened somewhat. Perfect!
I own a number of K&F filters of various types including UV, ND, polarizers and diffusers. I have placed great trust in the company's products without hesitation. This particular filter set offers excellent value for money when compared to much more expensive similar filters such as those from B+W and Hoya whilst offering virtually equivalent performance. Fantastic!
For me, this filter is clearly a Strong FIVE STAR winner and gets my honest and VERY warm recommendation! Simply excellent!

No complaints. The diffused lights are not overwhelming and are fun to shoot with. Satisfied with the quality for the price of the product.

Perfect to create beautiful pictures with a vintage look. Delivered in a round box. The material is also handy and handy, very high-quality workmanship.

This is great when used in the right situations. I like to use it with my Fujifilm cameras. Build quality is as expected, which is pretty decent. I have no complaints. If you don't like this one, you might want to try a "Glimmer Glass" filter.

The best black fog filter I've ever used. Sharp image with a subtle soft shimmer.

This filter is the cinema. Its the perfect strength for any video work and photos as well although the 1/8 might be better for regular client work. Watching footage shot with this filter is an experience in itself. Quality retention is spot on. My only regret is not buying the 82mm so I wouldn't have to buy more than one. I would recommend this for anyone looking for that "Cinematic Look". This is it. This is the cinema.

So I think a lot of folks involved in video product are very familiar with the Tiffen Black Pro Mist filters. This is K&F's version of that filter. I will go into what I think about the filter but you can also judge for yourself in one of the pictures in this review where I show you the same image; the first without the filter then with the filter.One of the results you get with a filter of this type is blooming of the highlights. This filter does quite a good job of that. Comparing the bloom to the Tiffen line I would say it falls between Tiffen's 1/2 and 1/4 strength with it being closer to the 1/4. The highlight fall of was strong but natural in my opinion. Keep in mind the light in the image fills the frame so you are seeing this particular effect of this filter at it's most extreme. You won't see that much blooming in a more natural setting. Take a look at the highlights on the camera. To me the K&F filter had a great effect on the highlight roll off which was very smooth.The other effect you get with a black mist filter is the slightly reduced contrast and the slight softening of the shadows. To me I thought this filter did this quite well. If you look at the texture on the handle of the camera in the image you can see how it's just sort of softened that texture. Imagine shooting a person and you can imagine how much you would be able to smooth out the skin.It also comes in a nice little screw together plastic case. Inside the case are these little rubber stopper than prevent the filter from sliding around in the case. I love the attention to detail here.So compared to the Tiffen version of this lens at the size I got which was 82mm the K&F Black Mist is about $40 cheaper. I think you are getting a lot of value for your money here. I can't wait to try out this filter on some upcoming shoots.I think K&F is making a move into higher end filters and if this filter is an example of the kind of quality they can produce, I can't wait to see what filter they release next.

This is my initial review for the K&F Concept 67mm Black Soft Filter, and I'll continue updating it as I use it.This is a very good quality soft filter, I think one of the best I've ever used, but I had a little incident while installing it , it broke the rim frame of my lens, although my lens is 67mm but i think this one was a little bigger as while i was screwing it, my lens broke. So I'm a bit disappointed and confused as it was an expensive $1200 Sony lens, other than that, the pictures are beautiful it does add a nice glow, specially if you want to replicate some vintage film looks. I noticed it to be very good outdoor specially in sun light you will get some interesting flares and reflections and haze around the subjects.I hope you like my review, if you found it to be helpful please don't forget to click on the helpful button below.

So far so good. It adds the right amount of haze for portraits to make it's stylistic. It doesn't add too much in my opinion, and the picture is still pretty sharp.I included a test shot below, which I took of a friend of mine in direct sunlight with a star filter and a ND filter as well (with this filter below)
