86mm Variable ND2-ND400 (9 Stop) Filter - Waterproof Scratch Resistant Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.1904
Wide diameter and easy to adjust. Comes in a protective box for transporting it.
I fancied trying some long exposure shots with my smartphone. I already had bought fixed filters but there was no adjustment to them without shooting through several layers of glass. Thought I'd try this one as it was adjustable. It's like having two polarising filters mounted together and is infinitely variable from light to very dark just by twisting the frame.
It does take a bit of fiddling and post editing to get some natural colour back, but it did what I wanted it to and am waiting for some better weather to spend a bit more time tatting with it. Its is big enough to cover all the lenses on the back of the phone with room to spare for hand movement though you do need to hold it very close.
Obviously a tripod is needed and a steady hand is helpful.
It was suitable form my needs and I recommend it.

The MD filter is easy to set up with your camera. I used it with my Canon M6. I tested it out making a video outside using the filter. I found it worked well and helped me lower the Aperture Aperture using my lens.

You can feel some vignette, in this filter it is from half to max. Everything else, like the picture quality, sharpness, fits the lense etc, is really good. It is'nt bad for the value of this amount money!

First variable ND filter purchased (all others I have had have been static) and what a difference it makes!
So easy to move around, and not having to carry more than one per lens is a real space-saver in the bag!
I've experienced no false colour or the infamous X on any images (although I don't use this all the way closed!)
Comparing it to a friends premium ND (I won't mention the brand), I could not see a difference at all in image quality. However, the premium ND was a bit stiffer to move around, so it felt like it would stay exactly where left. The K&F one does feel like it may loosen up over time, although this hasn't happened yet a few months in!

Good quality product with very good metallic feel.
Made the purchase receni so I'm still testing it.
One thing I am worried about is not to over spin it as from other reviews I have seen some of them distort the image.
