For more artsy or intense shots, this is a neat piece of kit. I like distorted or Mia colored shots so this worked out great for me. Oddly enough, mono shots look great filtered with this product as well. Really glad I picked this up. K&F does it again!

This graduated filter helps solve this problem, allowing me to get a better balance between the two halves of my photos: I put the dark half of the filter on top, and the clear part on the bottom, with the border placed on the horizon. This reduces the contrast just a bit between the halves, and allows me to squeeze out a bit more detail from my flowers without washing out the sky.

But know that this has plenty of other uses that don't require using the horizon as your guide. Any photo where there is a clear line between the dark and light halves of your photo could potentially benefit from the filter.

I've become a fan of K&F filters in general. They are reasonably priced, with good build quality, and a nice "universal" case that can securely hold small and large filters.

This filter won't go with me everywhere, but it has plenty of uses and was worth adding it to my collection.

The filter arrived today. I didn't want to spend a lot and was very happy, I often shoot landscapes and this filter makes all the difference when it comes to the overexposed part of a photo.

As you can see on the Amazon page, this graduated gray filter is really great for sunsets. The sky is relatively bright, the foreground a bit dark. Without a filter, the meter measures the sunlight 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 makes the foreground appear normal.

This is a great filter to start with the landscape and learn how to use GNDFs. The performance is at or slightly above expectations at this price.

This lens has improved my outdoors nature photography significantly! My photos are much clearer, more detailed, and the colors are more crisp. It is easy to install and remove. The quality of this lens is really good. I haven’t had any scratches on it, nor have I used it in the rain yet. Either way I am impressed with the quality of this lens and would definitely recommend it!

Super graduated filter for those who want to try something out!

I received the graduated filter today and tested it straight away. The quality is great and I was able to use it with the 67mm thread on the outside of my Puk filter. This is of course a fine extra and saves space for all the packaging in the backpack. Speaking of packaging, the filter comes in a plastic box with foam padding and was tight in mine.

The graduated filter leaves (in the right angle to the sun -> 90° or more) a beautiful colour value (see photo) and reduces the burning out of the sky many times over. If the blue value is too intense for you, you can of course also play with the exposure time/ISO to adjust the whole thing perfectly for you. Before buying, you should of course consider the lens diameter of your largest lens (in your collection) and compensate for this with adapter rings. The filter also worked without problems with my telephoto (Tamron AF SP 70-300mm 4-5.6 Di VC USD). However, I can't say anything about wide angle. but I think as long as you are under 12mm focal length, everything should be great.

internal thread (other filters can be attached)

- the only disadvantage to a rectangular filter in my opinion is that you can't adjust the gradient vertically.

I hope I could help a little bit.
Best regards

So if you have been purchasing K&F Concepts in 2021 you should be seeing a big difference in the quality of their products. I mean K&F has always been known for making budget gear that was "good enough". But in my onion now, they are actually pumping out high quality gear. This graduated ND is just another example of that.

I saw very little color cast. Yes, there was a bit there as you will get with just about any ND under $300 but it isn't strong and easily fixed. The glass is a nice quality and isn't a super dust magnet. The coating seems to provide a lot of resistance to glare. The coating also seems to make water bead up and quickly get out of the way which I wasn't expecting for a filter at this price point. Build quality is great and the threads are smooth and without any burrs which is something you will see often in super budget filters.

I can't wait to see more future products from K&F. I'm excited they are putting out quality products like this that don't cost an arm and a leg.

The threads on this filter seem very high precision, so the fit is very snug to my UV filter. The rotation mechanism is also snug, ensuring that it won't slip during use.

A must for landscape photography. The effect is particularly noticeable in wide-angle shots. When the sky is darkened, the clouds appear particularly vivid. Exposure corrections can almost be avoided.
