was about to buy the Tiffen but after watching this, will buy the K&F. much more subtle and I think better image quality overall. PLUS cheaper: what's not to like here? Thanks, man. Very helpful.

This was perfect.

@@andrewchristian3017 Usually the ND filter should come last in the stack anyhow.

@mitchmedmedia5386 2 года назад

If I’m not mistaken, the PolarPro filters are meant to be kept inside of the case while they’re being screwed on. Do you think that may be that was the idea with this one? Hence, why it’s face down inside of the ribbing?

@ScottDumas 2 года назад

It could be what they were going for but the hold isn't tight enough to be confident the filter won't fall out and/or it would end up being a little awkward to do with the camera upside down.

@Feemy 21 день назад

This is the comparison I was looking for. However, I would have much preferred the different sample images in full screen view with their respective filter sizes (K&F 1/8 vs Tiffen 1/4 vs Tiffen 1/8) , rather than showing them in the Capture One software.

@eduardofrade423 3 года назад

It is, but it will sometimes cause vignetting depending on your lens/focal length

@fernandosver4422 3 года назад

I believe that the this copy of the 1/8 from Tiffen might be missassembled, i've seen some reviews saying that. And if you compare with other reviews this one comes out really strong, idk. But thanks for the review, love your vids.

@ScottDumas 3 года назад

Thanks for the heads up! It's possible I guess, but I have 2 of them actually and they both seem similar... Anyway, thanks for watching :)

@JGZphotography 2 года назад

I got the same effect by dusting enricheded white flour on an extra inexpensive UV filter. Give the same blooming effect with good clarity. Extra dose of flour dusting and more intesive the effect without spending a dime. Of course, not for outdoor rainy weather. Haha

@ScottDumas 2 года назад

Interesting solution! I like it :)

@TimothyGordon 3 года назад

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the strengths labeled on your tiffen mist filters, despite what people are saying. The shots are are all tight and the apparent effect between 1/8 and 1/4 seems right in my experience. The 1/4 does make a difference and blooms more. With a subject that is distant from the camera, the difference will be more obvious.

@ScottDumas 3 года назад

Appreciate the input! Like you said I was fairly certain I double and triple checked them haha. I’ll be quickly comparing the K&F 1/8 too today or tomorrow so I’ll try and get a wider shot with a bit more distance to the lights.

@maxgioviale1433 3 года назад

What happens if you add also a polarizer before the Black mist? Do you have a pre contrast hi definition frome the polarizer to who is added the atmosphere from the mist, so the details don't get wasted and you keep the etmosphere?

@czerwonejakmleko401 2 года назад

Lol thats good question tho

@vicluistudio3320 2 года назад

5:24 I thought the 1/4 should be the lower one ( more diffused one)? and the 1/8 is on the right on top?

@ScottDumas 2 года назад

That's what I thought too, but I tested it a few times and these are the results I got... makes me wonder if something is wrong with one of the filters somewhere, but I actually have two of the tiffen filters and tried them both with the same results.

@vicluistudio3320 2 года назад

@@ScottDumas at 9:50 the result is as expected though. I am guessing the direction of the light made the 1/8 become more diffused in this case for some physics reason.

@jorgepeterbarton 2 года назад

Could always be particular shooting conditions but I prefer the K&F. I'd be tempted for a 1/2 model though to up the strength. As for the 1/8 being stronger than the 1/4 that seems strange and am tempted to ignore the 1/8 in case it is some bad batch?

@stuartallenphotos 7 месяцев назад

I wondered about a bad batch too, which is a little concerning regarding quality control.

@Krinyo666 6 месяцев назад

I saw another tests where K&F was worse than Tiffen or Nisi. I think Tiffen has the darkest blacks and shadows so I'm wondering about this test how K&F was better. I have 1/8 K&F and planning to buy an 1/4 filter. I think the same filter can works different according to lightning situations. If light comes from the side it is sowns between layers. This causes "fog" over the image.

@Деазнам 2 года назад

1/8 is the best choice for 90% of cases unless you are looking for a specific/intentional effect.

@eldelabicidecolores 2 года назад

hmm. While that's true, the edited effect doesn't look as beautiful as the effect you get with the filter. But I get your point

@stephaneg 3 года назад

Good video, but I think you may have confused the 1/8 for the 1/4...

@ScottDumas 3 года назад

Many people have said so, but I'm fairly certain I checked and re-checked. I have 2 copies of it, and maybe there's something wrong with one or both?

With k&f concept, always try looking for it on aliexpress / ebay, takes longer but i got mine for about 35-40 euro shipped

@animaxxx4429 3 года назад

2:16 it is made like this so that you can screw it on lens with its base attached and then take off the base plate so that there is no contact with hand.

@ScottDumas 3 года назад

In all honesty, if that’s true I like it even less. It’s not actually “stuck” in there, it’s just enough so it doesn’t slide around side to side, so tilting it up or otherwise trying to screw it on just like that is a recipe for disaster... at least I’d never be comfortable or confident with it.

@Runawaygeekchannel 2 года назад

Screw it on the lens without removing from the case..?

@ScottDumas 2 года назад

It doesn't actually hold in the case enough for that- it might be possible but it would be awkward and risky

@scott37040 8 месяцев назад

So if you're going to show what effect the filter has on skin, why keep the backlights on? I'd really appreciate knowing just how much the filter softens. It would be nice to have a much closer framing showing the skin texture without the filter or backlights and then see one with the filter for comparison. Thanks.

Others have said the same thing. I actually have two 1/8 filters and both showed the same behavior in these tests... I will get the K&F 1/8 soon to compare and I'll post updates including both of the Tiffen 1/8 filters I have just to be safe.

@lighthunter1980 3 месяца назад

Don't bother with the K&F Nano-X line and get the Nano-K. Much cheaper and really well made and multi-coating. I believe Nano-K has marginal to no benefit and is 99% marketing for those who want 'the best'. I use the Nano-K 1/8 and 1/4 on my Fujifilm lenses. The 1/8 is perfect for everyday use and quite subtle. The 1/4 is best at daytime if you want a more pronounced effect. At nighttime the 1/8 is strong enough. Had the Tiffen before. Very expensive, no visible difference at all and I had several quality control issues with Tiffen (returned twice due to scratches and dirt). Note that the K&F 1/8 is about the same strength as Tiffen 1/4, so K&F is slightly stronger effect.

@animaxxx4429 3 года назад

I'm more interested in 2 things now after watching this video. 1. How does K&F 1/8th compares to Tiffen 1/8 2. How does K&f 1/8th = K&f 2-32 variable nd (stacked) costing roughly $120 look vs Freewell ND MIST filter as $110 If you can test it out, it will be a huge help!

@ScottDumas 3 года назад

2. I'll actually be getting the K&F 1/8 very soon and I'll post a comparison on my Facebook page facebook.com/scottdumasreviews if you want to check it out :) 2. I don't have those particular filters to test but I do have some others from Freewell (as well as K&F) and in general Freewell make amazing filters so I would not hesitate to recommend theirs.

Your promist filters might be mislabeled by the factory. I suggest you email Tiffen with some samples maybe they will give you the proper strength filters for free. Tell them you did a RU-vid review and want to redo it if your filters are made wrong by the factory because you don't want to mislead your viewers. Lemme know how it goes if you do contact them.

Flipping the filter from the case is the dumbest complaint i have ever heard of.

So ignore it. But in real use it's one more chance to get fingerprints on it or drop it. This is a review- I'm supposed to point out any little weird thing and it feels weird that grabbing it out from the case it's not oriented in the way you'd screw it onto your lens. Doesn't mean don't buy it. More like feedback for K&F.

Great review, thanks Scott, this is really useful. I agree, the K&F looks better all round to me. Have you tried their ⅛ at all? I'm thinking of starting out with that for a subtle effect, mainly for smoothing skin tones more than adding bloom from lighting. Then maybe add the ¼ afterwards.
