Perfect filter for walk around lens

Works great. I keep the 1/8 version on the end of my Fuji XF 27mm F/2.8 pancake lens all the time to soften up the images out of my X-T5. Gives a very nice, subtle softness to make the photos just ever so slightly more dreamy. Perfect for a walk around lens.

Really nice highlight rolloff.

I'm using these in conjunction with the Loawa Nanomorphs. Really helps bump the quality to cinematic.

Cinematic look for light

I use these on micro four thirds lenses. Delivers very pleasing results for the price. Nicely built. Does the job with its cinematic light rendering. Easy to work with in post, as it maintains enough information, even for a relatively small sensor like MFT.

Needs a touch of backlight to appreciate!

Perfect for using in studio to emulate 1930's B&W portraiture, or outdoors for a strong backlight glow. In both cases, some backlighting is necessary for the best effects. Very useful.

K&f has better quality filters imo

Loose and rattling around in it's circular frame, but it works. My K&F concept did not have this problem.

Subtly Soft Highlights

Used this filter on two professional shoots. One was indoors with stage lights; filter produced a pleasant glow around spot-lights giving them a more pleasing effect. The other shoot was outdoors in bright sun and soft shade with people as primary subject; filter produced very subtle softening of skin and highlights. At this point I am seriously considering keeping this filter on my go-to event lens full-time. (e.g. #1/8 Pro Mist)

My favorite

Pretty much permanently kept a 1/4 strength on my lens which was nice for a subtle softening effect, i wanted something more extreme so the full strength (1) was perfect

Worth the dough.

A good diffusion filter with a sturdier build than some alternatives. The Black Pro Mist claims to preserve contrast, and I tend to agree. Great for night photography with an in-frame light source, but also useful for softening faces and creating a somewhat film-like look in digital photos.

Tiffen always makes great products!!

Amazing filter really adds a softness to sharper lenses and character to lenses that just sit in the middle of the pack image wise. Great for day and night .

Beautiful Highlight Glow

I tried this filter out for a night time street photography shoot in Philadelphia on Halloween. The filter added a nice glow to the headlights and street lamps throughout the session and gave me the results I was going for. I used this filter on the Sony 55mm 1.8 on the Sony A7III

It?s like adding Secret Sauce

This filter is like adding ?secret sauce? to your photos and videos. The reduction of the highlights and softness/color it creates with the skin tones makes this filter worth every penny. I bought 4 and keep them on every lens I use during a wedding day, photo shoot, and any other project.

Great filter!

I love this filter! I bought it to add it to my camera that I primarily use for streaming. It adds a nice soft and cinematic look without having to put a LUT on the footage.

Good, but very strong!

It?s well-made and fits into my Leica Q2 with ease. The 1/2 strength is a little too strong for my liking, but I?m going to hold onto it because I do believe there is a use for it. The 1/4 strength is more of a right choice for stills, but it CCD all depends on your needs. The images are as expected - really soft with hot highlights. I haven?t tried it at night yet, but I?m looking forward to it.

One of the best diffusion filters

As a music video cinematographer, the Black Pro Mist is the sort of gear that I always have with me and use on every shoot. Its look is just impeccable! If you want the warm, soft, film look then this is the thing to get
