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.

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 think people are sleeping on these K&F diffusion filters. I have been using these for some time and I have been really impressed with them. In fact I see little difference between these and the Tiffen Black Pro Mist filters that cost a heck of a lot more. I mean think about it...these are diffusion filters. They aren't supposed to be perfect. They are meant to give your image a softer look by diffusing the light a bit. They provide some nice bloom to the highlights as well.
The 1/8 strength filter is a great all around filter that I use for a lot of my shoots. I only go to the 1/4 strength one when I am looking for that really dreamy look.

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 got these for my Sony 35mm f/1.4 lens on the Sony A7IV. The images from this setup is always sharp and that is not always the goal. So these filters come in handy to dial it down a bit. Depending on the scene you will need to increase or decrease the intensity of the softness introduced hence the two options which are my go to anyway. Great value product.

These black diffusion filters are fantastic for giving a softer appearance to photos and portraits. I use them with a mirrorless camera and love experimenting with the 1/4 and 1/8 filters for different effects. They fit my lens perfectly and they feel like they're high quality. The cases they come with are nice as well. I recommend them for sure.

I love the look the 1/8 gives on lights. It gives them just enough glow to pop and soften. The 1/4 is a little too aggressive but will come in handy for certain shoots. The packaging is fantastic and again I'm super pleased with the look. Another great tool to have for photography. You should really have these with you, along with the basics like a CPL and ND filters. Great quality filters.

I have a Black Mist Pro 1/8 filter that I use quite a bit, and based on my recent positive experiences with K&F filters, I decided to give this set of 1/4 and 1/8 filters a try. Because the K&F filters cost about 30% less than the Black Mist Pro equivalent, they are perceived by some "pros" as lower-quality filters. I'm happy to say that these K&F 1/4 and 1/8 black diffuser is every bit as good as the Black Mist Pro equivalent, achieving exactly the effect I was after with no distortion or color cast. I also own the K&F 1/4 diffusion filter with the magnetic mounting system, which costs the same as the this two-filter package. While the filters are idenitical in terms of effect and optical qaulity, I really love the magnetic mounting feature, so you might want to consider that before purchasing these conventional mount filters (but if your budget is tight, you can't beat the price for two quality filters). The price to value ratio for theser filters is excellent.

I have been using these filters recently for portraits and the 1/4 specifically has made a big difference in some of them. The effects from this filter have made the editing much easier and takes a fraction of the time that it used to. I highly recommend these filters.

these filters are more prominent with the bloom than the tiffen BPM i use however they have a more pleasing highlight rolloff and subtle contrast reduction. they flare a tiny bit if having a light source hitting the filter directly but overall they are very good filters and give a cinematic touch to overly sharp images
