The filter came today. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and I was very satisfied.
I often photograph landscapes and this filter makes a difference when it comes to the overexposed part of a photo.
I attach an example image.

In addition to the Kiwifotos lens filter adapter for my Sony RX100 V, I bought this gray gradient filter from K&F Concept after having also had very good experiences with the other products. I read again and again that the filter could not be unscrewed. I can't confirm that. At least for the size of 52 mm I ordered.
The practical test is convincing. It is currently not sunny but clouds are often difficult even in very cloudy weather. I hope you can look through the pictures in the right order. For someone who knows their way around, it should be clear: The third picture is pure without the filter. In the fourth, I tried to improve this image in RAW post-processing and you can see that there are still burnt out areas. The first picture is with a filter and you can already tell: The clouds are already more detailed. But the window frame also gets darker, of course. The post-processing, which can be seen in the second picture, requires more effort to create such a scene. But I think the result is also impressive!
As with the other filters from K&F, I didn't notice color casts, vignettes or the like.

Haven't used for a lot. It works for me and is affective when the aperture set in high number, such as 11.

The graduated filter works very well. It is just a bit more difficult to use than a square/square filter. The quality is excellent and as described. And it doesn't take up too much space in your luggage, as it doesn't need a holder. Perfect for traveling, actually.

Delivered quickly, very well packaged, also for transport in a photo bag. Perfect thread for easy installation. The filter is perfect, the colors are not distorted, I am very satisfied.

A must-have for landscape photography. The effect is particularly noticeable when shooting wide-angle. Clouds appear particularly vividly when the sky is darkened as a result. Exposure compensation when shooting can almost be avoided.

Cuts down on the brightness of the sky though I wish it was darker like an nd16 or 32. Works exactly like it should and rotates easily. Threads up fine and comes off without trouble as long as you work the threads a few time before going all the way on. I use it with the K&F adapter ring set and all is well.

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.
