55mm Black Mist 1/4 + 1/8 Filters Kits Nano-Klear Series - Multi-Layer Coated Cinematic Effect Filters for Camera Lens
SKU: SKU.1711V1
The black mist filter is a pretty subtle effect. This filter is my first black mist filter. Basically what it does is defocus and soften your images somewhat. I tried a 1/4 filter, but I think I'd prefer the 1/2 for more of the effect it gives. It's fairly easy to soften images a little in your image editor of choice. I think the 1/2 would provide a more natural looking softening than softening in editor software.
The filter itself is well built and the ring is nice and slim. The package came with three sealed microfiber cloths which is quite a handy addition. These filters are inexpensive enough to buy several intensities to try. I'm going to buy a 1/2 next!

I love the softening and glowing effect a black diffusion filter adds to video and photos. It is a great way of reducing sharpness and makes lighting in high contrast situations look mystical. If you want to add a nostalgic soft feel or cut out the digital look of your video then this is a must have filter.
I own the Tiffen black pro most versions of this and I can honestly say that the K&F version does a very good job of replicating that look at a much more affordable price.
I also use and love this filter for photography. Highlights on the skin tend to glow a little more and any lighting in the frame looks as if it haves a slight haze around it. This filter can give you a different look without changing anything other than adding the filter to your lens.
This is a good budget option for those that may not be willing to pay the much higher cost for the Tiffen version.

K&F Concept Nano-K series Black-Mist 1/4 filter 67mm
The filter makes a good impression of quality. The effect is gentle and it gives the images a creative look. I tested the filter with the Tamron 28 -75 2.8 G2 and am satisfied with the results. The model's face is slightly blurred and saves time in post-processing.
Price - performance and image results are good.

subtle and soft. this is no sledge hammer, but a delicate mist. A soft diffusion on light sources and specular highlights. A softness to the skin. this is a much, much lighter effect than the old, high end French silk stocking over the lens. ever so slightly dreamy, a light glow without being overkill. I have not compared to pricier brands, but I am quite happy with this. I don't imagine that I will be bringing it out for much more than portraiture, I intend to experiment to see what it can bring to my other photography work.
Beautifully packaged and secure, with the added bonus of 3 microfiber cleaning cloths, this is quite the bargain if you are in the market for such a filter.

This filter provides a nice effect that's difficult to achieve using software with comparable results. The effect targets the entire frame though - unlike what's possible in post processing.
Physically, the filter is well made, with good threads. It seems to have good optical quality and the coatings appear uniform and effective.
The diffusion seems uniform to me, though I am by no means a professional photographer. It's not an everyday filter but is nice to have when it is warranted. It seems like a good value to me.
