K&F Concept 82mm Black Diffusion 1/4 & 1/8 Lens Filter Kit (2 Pcs), Mist Cinematic Effect Filter for Vlog/Video/Portrait Image with 28 Multi-Layer Coated

happy with these! Great quality

So.. I'm going to be up front.. I'm NOT A huge fan of diffusion filters. People already tend to over-soften their images they post online, so I'm not a giant fan of a 'dirty lens' look.However, for some of our sessions we've done, soft images are more desireable than hard/crisp images. (An example, is if you're producing an image that appears to be in a fog or smoke) In the past, I would have simply used an oiled UV Filter (that's literally what it sounds like... put a light layer of oil or grease on the filter, and then attach it). As you can imagine, while those images turn out ok, introducing oil/grease/vaseline into gear, is always a nightmare. So, diffusion filters are a go to, for many photographers.. now myself included.Black diffusion filters by and large, are used for 2 purposes.. 1.) Soften images, and 2.) reduce highlights/glare.. To that end, these 2 filters serve their purpose well.However, I will point out, for MOST use cases, while the 1/8 can be used as an all around every day use filter (if you so desire), I would strongly recommend taking the time to find your use case for the 1/4, as it can drastically change your image.As for these particular filters, they do their jobs, as expected.. EXCEPT, there is one thing I REALLY want to point out: These are double threaded filters, in that you obviously thread them onto your lens, BUT, these is a thread on the external side of the element too, so you can couple this up with other filters, as well.THAT is a major design decision, that I honestly wish more manufacturers would take the time to implement. It's often frustrating, when you're trying to couple up multiple filters, and yet, you can't.As with all K&F filters, the easy twist to open case for the filters are amazing, and the fact they have multiple rings, so you can store a different filter in their case, is a bonus.However, while the fact that you can store other filters in the case is a plus.. it can also be a minus. If/when you have multiple filters of the same manufacturer (in this case, K&F), keeping track of what each filter is, in each case, especially while in studio, can be a challenge. So, it'd be nice to see a label on the case, indicating what is inside. Still, that's something that a simple label maker could do, too, so it's not a big deal... just one thing I've always noticed with multiple manufactures, and is NOT limited to K&F.K&F claims there's an anti-scratch coating on their lenses, but short of taking sandpaper to the filter, I cannot attest to that claim, until I've used these longer than a few weeks. That said, I have no reason to doubt this claim, as the other couple of K&F filters I've used, seem to have held up well.So far, I'm quite happy with these 2 filters. They soften the images, without adding any real color shift. They are comparable to a significantly more expensive set of filters that I've been using for years... so much so, in fact, that I'm thinking about giving more of the K&F brand filters a go.These are an amazing set of filters, and I'm quite happy to have them in my studio gear collection.

Product Review: K&F Concept 82mm 1/8 and 1/4 Black Diffusion Filter SetAfter using these for over a year now, I can say that I highly recommend the K&F Concept 82mm 1/8 and 1/4 Black Diffusion Filter Set. This set of two filters is a great way to add a soft, dreamy look to your photos. The filters are made of high-quality Japanese AGC optical glass with double-side polishing technology, which ensures high image quality and reduces glare. The filters are also waterproof, scratch-resistant, and oil-proof, so they can withstand the elements.I've used these filters for a variety of photography projects, including portraits, landscapes, and street photography. I've found that they work best in low-light conditions, as they help to soften the light and create a more atmospheric look. The filters also help to reduce blemishes and wrinkles on skin, which is great for portrait photography.Overall, I'm very happy with the K&F Concept 82mm 1/8 and 1/4 Black Diffusion Filter Set. They're a great way to add a touch of magic to your photos.Pros:High-quality Japanese AGC optical glassDouble-side polishing technologyWaterproof, scratch-resistant, and oil-proofSoftens light and creates a dreamy lookReduces blemishes and wrinkles on skinCons:Can be a bit priceyNot as effective in bright lightOverall:I highly recommend the K&F Concept 82mm 1/8 and 1/4 Black Diffusion Filter Set.

The media could not be loaded. I intentionally NEVER tighten my filters. I leave them loose to avoid this nightmare. I tried the freezer trick. I tried filter “wrenches”. This filter was stuck on with the power of Thor’s hammer. I can not believe this is what you get for this price. Absurd. I’ll never buy another KF product. I had to literally destroy it to get it free from my brass adapter ring. If this would have happened on the G Master lens we would have a serious issue.Update* after customer service**KF reached out and wanted to make this issue right. Not only did I get a refund they offered to send a replacement filter set. I’m not willing to risk a $2000+ lens for a filter look, so instead I opted for equal value in KF branded batteries. They come with USB charging directly so no need for a charging base like other brands. And the best part is on my A7IV I do not receive any off brand battery warnings.

If you're looking to add a touch of magic to your photography, look no further than the K & F Pro Mist filters. These filters are nothing short of amazing, and the 82mm size is the perfect fit for most lenses.Let's start with the construction. These filters are built to last, with high-quality materials that can withstand even the toughest shooting conditions. The glass is coated with a special mist effect that gives your photos a dreamy, ethereal quality that's hard to replicate without using expensive editing software.But what really sets these filters apart is the way they enhance the mood of your photos. The mist effect creates a soft, romantic atmosphere that's perfect for portraits, landscapes, and any other type of photography where you want to capture a feeling of nostalgia or whimsy. The filters are also great for creating a sense of depth and dimensionality, making your subjects stand out from the background in a way that's both subtle and striking.And let's not forget about the ease of use. The K & F Pro Mist filters are a breeze to attach and remove, and they won't interfere with your lens' autofocus or image stabilization features. This means you can experiment with different levels of mistiness without worrying about compromising the quality of your shots.Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase of the K & F Pro Mist filters. They've added a whole new level of creativity to my photography, and I can't wait to see what kind of magic they'll help me capture next. If you're looking for a way to take your photography to the next level, these filters are definitely worth a try.

Die Effekte sind deutlich sichtbar, beim 1/8-, sowie beim 1/4-Filter. Die Schärfe verringert sich beim fokussierten Objekt geringfügig, bei Gesichtern ist jedoch eine Weichzeichnung deutlich wahrnehmbar. Um Lichter bildet sich ein deutlicher weicher Haloeffekt. Habe keinen Vergleich zu anderen Filter, aber das was ich hier sehe ist genau das was ich von diesen Filtern erwartet habe.

Le rendu est magnifique, sur argentique (BW) que digital.

Filtros muy bien protegidos, se adhieren al objetivo perfectamente. Recomendado

amazing filters for my sigma lens
