Nice diffusion/halation effect on and around highlights, doesn’t break the bank when searching for a diffusion filter like tiffen does. Excellent build quality. Definitely recommend this filter

Works as expected. Cleaning cloth is a nice bonus. Probably a niche item for some, I'd say it depends on taste to whether it works for your needs. Sometimes it's neat, other times I don't care for it but it's another tool in your bag to experiment with.

Great budget alternative to the tiffin filters. I would recommend these over the tiffin!

This K&F Concept 1/2 black diffusion (aka. black mist) filter works just as described. Diffusion filters are used to soften the image and will also enhance light (and create glow) giving an overall dreamy effect... and a lot of people like them for video recording. However 1/2 strength is probably a bit much in most situations. 1/8 preferably, or 1/4 will give a more subtle effect and is what most people actually use. If you are looking for a stronger look then this 1/2 is perfect (see photos). There is a 1 (full) which would be too extreme I would imagine. I have never had any issues with any K&F Concept products and this is another quality purchase that I can easily recommend.

I have purchased a number of K&F filters and have always been satisfied with quality and results…

I absolutely love this filter! I was looking for something to soften up my pictures without breaking the bank and I came across this filter (43mm) for around 17 dollars after tax. It is super small and discrete to the point that I forget that it is on my lens half of the time.

I decided to get the 1/8 black diffusion filter rather than the 1/4, 1/2 or the 1/1 because I was looking for just a subtle glow and this thing definitely delivers. For me it is perfect, but for others the 1/8 may be TOO subtle in regular conditions. I will say however that the bloom effect really shows through when a scene has a lot of direct light or very bright highlights. I also chose the 1/8 version because I wanted a slight artistic flare to my photos without feeling too intentional with the bloom. I will also mention that I don't have the ability to determine the filter's sharpness and while I suspect that it maybe lowers the sharpness of the overall picture by a tiny minuscule bit, for many of the pictures that I took I was more than happy with the quality that it produced. If you are concerned about the sharpness I would probably look into the Tiffen filters, but even with that, those filters are 6x the price of this one.

If you are a starting out experimenting with filters and do not want to spend too much money, this is the one. There is so much fun and artistic capability that can be achieved with this filter that I keep it on my 23mm all of the time. Buy this filter!

I included two pictures of a cyclops action figure and you can really see the effect on the flash light at the bottom left of the picture as well as the overall bloom on the figure itself. I also included a few other shots with very bright highlights.

I gave this K&F Concept 72mm Black Diffusion filter a try to see what type of effect it would have compared to a UV filter. This filter gives a slight cinematic effect and makes photos and video softer and fuzzier. There isn't a huge difference, but you can certainly tell a difference when shooting people.

It makes the skin a bit softer and smoother and backgrounds are not tack sharp. The pic shows it was a little dirty out of the box, but the graininess in the glass is supposed to be there to give photos the soft effect.

Overall, this is a nice filter to have in your camera bag, especially if you shoot portraits or want a soft effect with video.

This is a decent black diffusion filter by K&F Concept that produces very nice filters for us photographers.

This filter is easy to spin on and off with little effort and the photos do have a decent black diffusion and provide a very soft photograph.

The only negative I really have is the case this was shipped in as they have much nicer cases they provide for their higher-end filters and this one just comes in a square plastic box with some padding. I would expect more from K&F but since this isn't one of their higher-end filters they they tend to cut costs.

Makes my pictures and videos look amazing

Was looking for a filter for my Camera to soften the light just a hair. This worked wonders. Threaded onto all of my adapters for use on different lenses and holds up well to dirt and grime. I personally put some ceramic coating on the glass to help with water repellant as I like to shoot in the rain. Would buy from this company again.
