It manages to give a nice atmosphere to the photos, too bad it arrived cracked and had to return it

I like that it created a subtle effect on my picture taken, like a light mist. The diffusion filter fits perfectly on my Sony Aii lenses.

Amazing filter for night street photography in nicely lit situations. Street signs, lights, etc. Add a very nice soft glow to your images. During the day, it's add a soft cinematic touch.
Not on my lens 100% of the time but a very nice filter to have in your bag.

I’ll be honest up front, I ordered this mistaking it for an ND filter, I’ve decided to keep this though as I really like the effect it produces.
I’ve been getting into landscape photography and wanted an Nd filter but ordered this by mistake, after having a play and wanting to eventually push into portrait I decided to give it a try.
The results are surprising good, it adds a nice glow to bright light sources that give the images some warmth.
The filter is presented in a lovely case with rubber wedges inside that hold the filter in place so it doesn’t slip around.
I can see me using this for product photography and portraits and so far have really enjoyed it
Pros
- nice glow
- gives images a warmer feel
- excellent storage case
Cons
- none ( although keep in mind you may need to adjust exposure times slightly due to very minimal tint )

Favoring shooting to post-processing, I tried this filter with the only lighting of an electric garland and the rendering was good, the light from the garland is diffuse and softer.
Can't wait to use it for night video when the restrictions are lifted.

This K&F Concept black diffusion filter creates a very, very cool dreamy effect while still keeping the picture in sharp focus. I'm using it with my Fuji X-T100, and I am super happy with the results. The filter screws on perfect (no issues with the body of it filter) and doesn't create any vignette-ing even when used over my UV filter.
The images I'm taking with the filter are nice and clear, but with the dreamy, slightly grainy film-like effect that mist filters like this are supposed to give. I love that I can get the effect without applying filters when editing. The filter also sort of gives a softer effect to faces, so it is great for portraits. I'm using the 1/4 filter, so the effect is gentle. The greater the number of the filter the greater the effect produced.

This filter is not one that I used to regularly carry in my bag, as I assumed it functioned primarily as a mix between an ND filter and a soft filter. But, given the chance to use it for a few days, I realized I was wrong! The 1/4 black diffusion filter (there's also a stronger 1/2 filter) is mostly used for its softening effect on faces, where it can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes. In that role, it works, although perhaps a bit too much for some photos. I shoot outside landscapes and architectural shots more than portraits, where the filter reduces glare and reflections. It's also good for throwing backgrounds out of focus more than the camera itself manages. The effect, at first glance, are subtle but they are visible in a side-by-side comparison. Mostly, there's a "glow" effect to shots that is quite appealing. The quality of the filter is high, and I use it now almost as a default on my primary 85mm and 105mm lenses. Nice filter.

I have only started buying K&F filters in the last 3 years, but there is absolutely nothing negative to say about them. I love the filters from K&F.
This type of specialty filter is a bit pricey so I usually buy the size that fits my largest lens. That jacks the price up even more, but I use adapters to enable using them on smaller lenses.

Really nice quality filter, comparable to more expensive brands. Has that black pro mist look. Softens things and gives lights a bit of glow. The he 1/4 does enough but id be curious to play with the stronger versions too.
