I reviewed this product in January of 2023 on a 24-70mm Nikon f/2.8 S lens, mounted on a Nikon Z9. For my setup, I used the 82mm version to properly fit on my lens however, I would expect other sizes to perform in a similar manner. The filter frame is aluminum and is low profile measuring only 3.3mm. I found the filter to thread on and off easily and there was no binding while I was using it.

I've uploaded images of the unboxing to show what you should expect to receive when you order this product. Specifically you're getting the filter and a few soft cleaning cloths which are always useful. During my review, I used the filter primarily to shoot still but did do a little video work but I've not uploaded that here.

So what does it do? This mist filters adds a nice softening effect and flare from smaller light sources creating some cool effects adding some character to your images. This is most pronounced at night but the effect persists even in conditions closer to day light. The image of my cell phone was shot under studio lighting that was roughly daylight balanced while the other three examples were shot in lower light conditions. For the split screen shots, the non-filtered images are on the left, and the images that have the filter are on the right. These are straight out of camera with no edits as raw files in Nikon's NX Studio software with shooting conditions in the upper right of each frame.

I really enjoyed using this filter to push a little style and character into my images and plan to use it in the future for portrait work as well as some creative shots. I wasn't sure what to expect initially but really enjoyed what was coming out of the camera. I know the bloom effect isn't for everyone so I made sure to capture that so you'd know what you're getting with this product.

I'm making it a permanent part of my kit and strongly recommend it if you're looking for that softer look with flare in your images or videos.
