K&F Concepts black mist diffusion filters.

Hi everyone,

Although mainly purchased for my landscape work I did want to try out my 1/8 and 1/4 strength K&F Concept black mist diffusion filters at the wedding. On balance I think that I prefer the 1/4 strength as the effect is that bit more pronounced. I was there as a guest and not in any official capacity, I don’t do weddings and, relatively rarely, people shots except of family. This one taken with the 1/4 strength filter. I Really like the lighting effects. Olympus OM-D E-M1 mk 1 and M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8. One thing that I do like about their filters is the grippy knurled pattern around the edges which makes screwing them on and off than much easier. They also have a thin “nano” form factor which doesn’t cause them to vignette on my wide angle lenses. Another thing, at least in these filters, is that they don’t have any discernible colour cast. To date these are working well for me as I generally prefer a degree of warmth and softness/diffusion in my images. I’ve been doing this for years in post processing but sometimes it’s artistically interesting to see the effects whilst composing the shot. I can always take a shot with and without the filter and see which I like best later.

Kind regards

Leigh
