I agree with your summary; 1/8 filter just takes the edge of the sharpness. The ¼ filter is too strong in most examples. However the lighting situation and the proximity of the subject to the lens also affects the result a lot. Thanks for the video, I will go ahead and get some 1/8 filters.
I recently got the VND+1/4 and I just have to say that it is CRAZY strong. There are very, very few circumstances where I could ever see myself using the 1/4.
I use a 1/4 almost permanently on my Sigma 35 f1.4 and honestly it doesn't look excessive, sometimes I even forget about the mist effect that it's actually there. The magnitude depends a lot on the lighting and camera settings. Many of the shots in this video were shot in broad daylight, and I assume no lens hood was used. This would definitely make the 1/4 effect a bit strong.
It's a pity some of your shots' focus was not synchronized therefore making the comparison impossible. But there were still plenty of very useful shots and comparisons therefore you earned my like. Thank you!
@@MariuszGajdzik This is a very reasonable question. I recently bought a HOYA variable ND filter, and when I unpacked it I found that other filters cannot be screwed onto it, not even a lens cap can be put on it! I was very disappointed.
Hi... can you please tell me how you use VND with diffusion filter?? is it stackable? Please tell me which VND you have used in this video. Thanks in advance.
Hey, I used the Freewell VNDs for some shots, I had to place the mist first and then the VND as they don’t have the thread in the front of the filter. Hope that helps
Thanks for great samples. Bought 1/8 filter for my Leica Q - a dream combination. Never take this filter off.

1/4 might be cool at night but for a normal day time shot it's just too strong, especially when there's a strong light
You absolute LEGEND! Exactly THATS how you show the different filters. Superbly done!!!!! THANK YOU!
That he specifically thought to add full dailight shots with the sun shining towards the Lens is the most important thing...!! Thank you SO MUCH!
Excellent video! thank you for displaying it under different conditions and environments, that made all the difference in my decision.
Thank you for being so thorough

Such a great comparison video, thank you!
Thanks, really nice comparison.
great comparison video
Cinematic video choose 1/4.
Normal vlog choose 1/8.
Action video no filter. 😊

Thank you . I will buy the 1/4 for my 35 mm lens. The video did not specify the lens that he used. .
Great video comparison, exactly what I was looking for
Thank you!!
Thanks! Helped me make a decision. Def 1/8 as 1/4 can be too much and sometimes looks like the actual lens is dirty lol.
Haha, thanks for your comment. Yes, it is a bit stronger for sure 😊
Thank you for this video! I also think that 1/8 is a good choice
Glad you liked it! Why do you think so? 😊
Thank you. i guessed 1/8 suits me.
Is there a reason why the 1/4 has a slight warmer color and the 1/8 has the slightly colder/blue tone?
Thanks🎉
What lens did you use in testing the 1/4 and 1/8 Filter ? Thank you 😊
Best comparision
How did you pair the nd and the black mist together 😮? Please lmk

Thanks for the comparison. I think 1/8 is the right amount for me. Not too much but it's there.
Great to see it was useful. I’m mainly using this or the Moment Cinebloom 10%
Dzięki!
Dzieki za komentarz 😊
1/4 gets the warm cast?
Hi thank you. Can you screw something else on the front of the filter. Does it have a filter thread on the front side?
Yes it does 😊
@@MariuszGajdzik thank you!

@@ivandj707 sadly many variable ND filters do that, I guess they assume this would be the last filter that will be put onto a lens 🤷🏻♂️

@@MariuszGajdzik that means k&f black mist filter has thread in its front. Am I right ???
@tapanintune8613 yes sir, the mist filter does, the VND from K&F I’m not sure
@@MariuszGajdzik thank you so much for your information.
The stength actually depends on the focal lenght, because the effect gets stronger with longer focal lenght.
Is it just me, all I see is the picture worsen when the filters are fitted.
Is this the effect you want?
is just you
It looses a bit of detail/sharpness/contrast but it adds creative style. It is worth it to set the mood in most cases
