Suitable for a Nikon P900 but can be difficult to remove without a filter key.
The "K&F Concept 67MM Polarizing Filter Circular Polarizing CPL, Ultra Slim, Japan Optics, Multi-Coated, with Lens Cap" came in a branded box. It was nice to find the filter in a hard plastic case for protection, with a lens cap already attached to the filter. I ordered this filter for a Nikon P900. With the lens cap still attached to the filter, I carefully screwed the thin filter into place. I then took a series of pictures to check its effectiveness, and have included two pictures of the original Nikon lens cap showing the difference. When attempting to remove the filter, I found that it was stuck, so I had to resort to a filter wrench to remove it. The reason it got stuck was because I was turning the polarizing ring clockwise and counterclockwise from my perspective behind the camera. I must have just caught the threaded ring with my finger as I turned it counterclockwise, just enough to lock the filter in place. Some suggestions I have from using the filter; 1. When installing the filter, leave the lens cap on as it gives a larger shooting area. 2. Only turn the filter clockwise when viewing it from behind the camera to avoid repeating my mistake and lock the filter in place. 3. Carry a suitable filter wrench when using one of these filters just in case it gets stuck. 4. If it fits a P900 and it gets stuck. Zoom the lens so it points out about 30mm then remove the battery without turning the camera off. This will stop the lens retracting when the camera is off and if the camera is left on it will stop the lens trying to counteract the movement. 5. The lens and cap are stored in a small cellophane sleeve inside the plastic case. It is best to leave the lens cap on and insert it so that the flap of the cover is on the same side as the lens cap. This virtually eliminates the risk of the sticky flap touching the exposed filter surface. The only thing that would make this filter better is some sort of cover for the exposed surface or attachment points to hold the filter in place inside the case.
