82mm Black Mist 1/4 Filter with Brass Frame, Ultra Low Reflection, Mist Soft Glow Diffuser Lens Filters with 36 Multi-Layer Coatings - Nano-X Pro Series
SKU: KF01.3126
I have several filters from this company, and all have been top of the line in quality. The end results from this black filter are very nice with a clear effect. This is my first time using a black filter and it produces nice images. The presentation of the filter with the nice pouch is impressive. I recommend that one gives this a try if looking for a new filter and look to enhance their photography.

The subtleness of the 1/8th filter is great. It creates just enough haze in your shots to make them feel dreamy and cinematic without making them seem too soft.
These feel very high quality and the case is probably my favorite filter case I have seen. There is a neat strap system that lifts the filter out so you don't have to touch the filter and make it all grubby

This an absolutely beautiful filter. I picked up the 1/4 and 1/8 filters and they are wonderful. They add a great dreamy haze to your images giving them a great cinematic effect.
The cases are also some of the best filter cases I have ever seen. They are nice "leather?" with pretty nice strap system to lift the filter out of the case without getting your grubby little fingers on them

This is a great camera lens diffuser. And also a very effective camera lens protector.
First off, the way that this arrives, packaged in a very fancy case and wrapped in a very protective cover... is just incredible. The case is so nice, it makes we want to take it off and store it.
The function is spot-on. The diffusing is subtle but noticeable. Which is great. The look is awesome as its mounted on the camera. The threads are clean and screw right on.
I am VERY happy with the quality of this diffuser.

The nano X pro series is head and shoulders above the rest of K&Fs filter line up. The build quality is super premium. The feel fit and finish compete with the likes of Polar Pro and are slotted in above some of their contemporaries.
The grip around the edges of the filter is well defined and the threads are pristine and smooth.

I'm a professional video producer, and I shoot a lot of interviews for marketing videos. Formerly for global tech companies around the world, and now for startups and smaller businesses in local markets. So LOTS of variety of situations and locations.
My main camera is a Sony A7iv. I like it for the versatility and the fact that I can walk down the street anywhere in the world shooting broadcast quality video, but I look like every other resident or tourist. My current main lens for documentary-style shoots is a Sigma Art 24-70mm, with an 82mm filter size.
One downside of crisp 4K video is just that ... it can be too crisp. I've manually dialed in a really nice picture profile that gives me beautiful highlight roll-off and a pleasing image, but I sometimes like to soften up the interviews just a tiny bit. One of the oldest methods is using some type of filter in front of or behind the lens. WAY back in early cinema, this could be gauze or nylon or vaseline in front of the lens, or even on the back of the lens. And when I was assisting on a commercial shoot I learned about stretching kitchen plastic wrap in front of the lens, holding it taut with a rubber band. Anything to make video look less video-y. I first became aware of black or beige promist filters when I started shooting TV in the 1980s, so I know this type of system has been around for a while.
I just received this nice K&F kit. From the look of it, it's similar to a black promist. I chose the 1/8th because it's the most subtle version (smallest black specks in the filter). And I'm really looking forward to using it. The glass looks crystal clear, and the rest of the workmanship feels solid and well-made.
The fabric protective case is a nice touch, and has a magnetic flap to keep it closed. The case has a decent amount of rigidity, but also a bit of flexibility, so the filter should be safe while also allowing itself to be wedged into your overstuffed camera bag. The 82mm filter screws on cleanly to my Sigma lens.
Cute, gimmicky idea with the shipping box: They include a piece of card stock, pre-scored so you can fold it into a stand, and with tape strips on the back. If you fold up the card, and remove the foam insert from the box, the gold foil bottom portion of the box can be used as a picture frame or shadow box. Nifty idea, although neither of my 20-something daughters was interested in taking on that craft project.

I've attached a video where I've taken an image without any filter and compared it to this filter (Black Mist 1/8 Strength). From what I can tell, there is no color cast and reflections are carefully controlled. All you will see is the Misting Bloom character that radiates off certain materials.
The feel of this filter is superb, and it screws onto the lens with ease. The profile is also thin enough to add a magnetic thread adapter if you have gone that route. You get a microfiber cloth as well as a quality "suede" filter pouch for this. They do a good job on the presentation and with the right "look" in mind you can achieve what you are after.
Just in case you are wondering the lens I used and the settings:
Lens: Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8
Focal Length: 18mm
Aperture: f/9

Writing a review for a K&F product, irrespective of what it is, has become a bit of a chore, but in a good way, they decide they will make something , they make it, and it does exactly what they intended for it.
This filter is no exception.
I ordered 67mm to fit on my iPhone 15 Pro Max cage as I shoot with that setup almost daily, and this filter is the icing on what was already a very nice cake!
