It was fun to play with while taking photos and it felt great and looked great. I'm really excited to put it in my camera bag and look forward to trying more in the future!

I was thinking a bit of a gadget and a good promo made me buy this kit. After several tests with very different luminosity circumstances (clear sky with white clouds then very blue sky with strong luminosity), I am very surprised by the quality and efficiency of this DNG filter. The brightness is well down without disturbing the colors. No burned area, the whole photo is easily usable in post processing. I highly recommend it.

Delivery was very quick. Unbeatable for the price... Everything is of high quality. I can also not confirm some criticism that the gradient filter is less foggy towards the middle. Been cleaned up for me. If the slot is a bit difficult, then loosen the 4 screws on the filter holder a little bit and everything runs like butter!!! No color cast on the filters! Great bags included... polarizing filter history, simply screw an existing one onto the lens and then the filter holder on it. What more could you ask for without having to spend €400-500 right away... Full marks from me.

System with excellent value for money. The filter holder system makes it easy to frame before installing the ND 1000 filter.

This K&F Concept graduated ND filter is a great addition to any filter collection for landscape shots around sunset or sunrise. For the price, the filter appears well made and features smooth threads and fits perfectly on my Sony lenses with or without pre-filters. I did not have any issues with threads as some have reported. The filter features a very soft gradation with a smooth swivel mechanism to orient the gradient as desired. The results will vary as lighting conditions will play a big part in how much this filter will ultimately affect the overall exposure levels. What this does is help balance the stark contrast between a bright sky and dark landscape around the twilight hours to give you enhanced color and definition across the frame. As a recreational photographer I'm looking forward to capturing more sunsets and landscape shots with this GND8 filter.

As you can see from the page, this graduated neutral density filter is really great for sunsets. The sky is relatively bright, the foreground somewhat dark. Without a filter, the meter measures the light of the sun and the dark areas are washed out. With a solid neutral density filter, the foreground is too dark. A graduated neutral density filter blocks some of the sunlight but allows the foreground to appear normal. This graduated lens makes a huge difference. It dramatically improves pictures of sunlight. It is also good to block out glare, though I would use a polarizer for that. One problem with photography is that most photographers fall into one of two categories: they are either pros or amateurs. The pros want the best equipment and their livelihood depends on their having it. The amateurs want their cameras to do everything for them. There are excellent filters for the former, and the latter mostly don't know what a filter is. That leaves occasional photographers like me often out of luck. I don't want to pay lots of money for something that I will rarely use. K+F Concept is a good solution. It's good quality at a relatively reasonable price--or at least a price serious hobbyists would consider paying. I love shooting in sunset conditions. So, I am very happy with this filter.

Nice filter. I got this to have an edge during for proper exposure on outdoor scenes without blowing highlights by and it definitely helps me get better exposure. Built quality has been stepped up by K&F for a while now and this is no exception.

In fairness to the product apart from a couple of test shots I have yet to use this filter in ‘battle’. Test shots were fine. It would have been nice to have a marking on the movable ring to indicate the top, dark position, I will just touch the top dark position with tippex, just think this will make it easier for me to position correctly. In all good value and looks and feels well made.

I'm a hobbyist photographer and have recently been looking for ways to push my camera and images even further. This lens filter looked like something new and exciting to try, and I was beyond happy to get the chance to give this a try.
My first impression was that the packaging was quite nice. The case that houses the filter is well-designed and holds it snugly. The filter itself feels luxurious - it has a nice weight to it, and the materials look and feel expensive. The threads look great and I had no problems at all fastening it to my lens.
As far as using the filter goes, I have a bit of practicing to do. It has been quite an overcast and rainy season here, so I haven't really had much of a chance to use it on bright fiery sunsets yet. What I have gotten to use it for has been very fun for me, although I still have some learning to do about when it is bright and reddish enough out to warrant using it.
All in all, it is incredibly fun to play with when taking images and it feels and looks great. I'm very happy to have this in my camera bag, and I look forward to experimenting more with it in the future!
