K&F Concept 82mm Spiral Halo Camera Lens Filter, Premium Optical Glass Halo Swirl Special Effect Filter with Cleaning Cloth for Camera Lens

I've used it in three different shoots already and people love it.

Absolutely love the effect.Little disappointed but I'm sure after using it more it will be a integral piece or my camera equipment

Filter feels heavy and solid. Works wonders and have purchased more KF filters since this purchase!

Perfect!!This is what I was missing for my photography.

This is definitely a specialty filter. I don't expect to win any awards with it, but it's fun and well worth the money. If you're just looking for something to experiment with and expand your creativity then I would say to go ahead and get it as the price of entry is reasonable.It is really heavy which is to be expected with the design, but just something to be aware of.I do wish it had a more blurred or bokeh-y transition. It's really sharp/defined, and in my opinion, detracts from the image. I do need to experiment with it and use its "weakness" to my advantage.

When I first laid eyes on this K&F Concept 82mm Spiral Halo Camera Lens Filter, I was instantly captivated by its mesmerizing swirl pattern. As a photographer always on the lookout for unique ways to spice up my shots, I knew I had to give this filter a whirl (pun intended).From the moment I screwed it onto my lens, I could tell this was no ordinary filter. The premium optical glass construction ensured crystal-clear image quality, while the spiral halo effect added an ethereal, dreamlike quality to my photos. Whether shooting portraits, landscapes, or cityscapes, this filter injected a touch of whimsy and wonder into every frame. That said, it did take some trial and error to find the right angles and lighting conditions to truly unleash the halo's full potential. But once I got the hang of it, the results were simply spellbinding. If you're looking to add a touch of magic to your photography, this filter is a must-have tool in your creative arsenal.

This definitely isn't a filter I plan on running very much, but it does produce a very interesting swirl effect. As always with K&F products, I'm impressed by the clarity of the glass and the quality of the packaging. I've owned over a dozen lens filters from them, and not one has disappointed.

I ordered this K&F Concept 82mm Spiral Halo Camera Lens Filter to use for special effects.Basically, this filter consists of a large and heavy cone shaped piece of glass that introduces distortions. The center is a circle of clear glass that is distortion-free. This lets you take an image where the center is normal but the surrounding portion of the image is distorted and "swirly." This sort of effect can be useful for portraiture and certain landscapes when you really want to separate your subject from the background.This filter is heavy. Because of its shape, you cannot attach other filters to it. If you want to use any other filters, you will have to attach them to your camera and then screw this one in. You cannot use any sort of lens cap with this filter as it projects out of the rim.Construction is good. The filter screws into and out of my lenses smoothly. The sizing is spot on. Whiile you can expect some decreased sharpness in the center, I did not find it to be objectionable; this is not a filter you would use when critical sharpness is required. The convex shape of the filter also means that flaring can be a problem, especially when shooting outdoors under bright sunlight.This is most definitely a special purpose filter with limited utility. That said, it does produce excellent results when used with an appropriate subject, aperture, and focal length.
