72mm ND1000 Filter Nano-Xcel PRO Series - HD Ultra-Thin Copper Frame, 36-Layer Anti-Reflection Green Film
SKU: KF01.1993
This is a very nice high quality ND filter, as expected of K&F Concept. I'm using it with a Canon EOS 5D DSLR, and it is very fun to play with. I haven't used an ND filter like this before so I'm still learning, but you can definitely get some cool effects especially with moving water. The glass is high quality and the picture is sharp and clear. I have a couple of other K&F filters and this is just as nice to use as the others.

Both in terms of workmanship and the optical quality of the Nano-X Pro ND1000, I am absolutely convinced of this product, even though the price is of course accordingly. In return, however, you get an absolutely high-quality experience, from unpacking the product to the included case to the feel and quality of the actual product.
For long exposures without optically affecting the result, I strongly recommend a high-quality ND filter like this one. I've already used a number of other filters and can report that they have often affected my results. Of course, I don't want to make these filters absolutely bad, because especially in the beginning, you probably won't buy a filter in this price range. But once you've used such a filter, you also know why it costs more than the cheap models that you often find.

I bought the K&F Concept Nano-X PRO series ND1000 77mm filter for my photography equipment and am impressed by the quality and performance of the filter.
The frame of the filter is made of high-quality brass material and features a CNC pattern design, which significantly improves hardness and flexibility. The installation was also very smooth and durable.
The ND1000 filter reduces light by 10 stops, allowing longer shutter speeds without a color cast or loss of image quality. The K&F Concept coating technology also gives the filter a very low reflectivity of 0.15%, which increases light transmission and reduces stray light and ghosting.
The filter also features a 36-layer double-sided nano coating that is waterproof, dirt-proof, and scratch-resistant, which improves the durability of the filter. The frame is also very thin and fits the lens well without creating dark corners when attached to wide-angle and telephoto lenses.
In addition, the filter comes with a high-quality leather storage bag, which is purely handmade and was specially produced for K&F Concept photographers. The flagship filter from K&F Concept meets the highest internal standards and offers excellent optical performance. The classic high-end design and exquisite workmanship make it a valuable addition to any photography equipment.
Overall, I would rate the K&F Concept Nano-X PRO series ND1000 filter with five out of five stars. It is of excellent quality and performance and offers excellent value for money.

I ordered this to add to my filter stack, as I didn't have a large ND1000 filter; I'm familiar with the K&F brand from other filters I've purchased as well as ones from Vine, and they've never failed to impress me with their quality. This one is their professional-grade one, so it might be a little more than an amateur needs, but I look at filters as a long-term investment since they can be used on any lens if you have the right step-up/step-down adaptors (though it IS best to stick to something close to your lenses' filter sizes to avoid reflections or vignetting).
The results I get with this filter are truly travel-mag worthy, perfect for tourism posters and large-scale art prints; waterfalls and streams flow beautifully, lakes appear like smooth satin even with some waves, clouds go perfectly streaky to give the sense of time passing, and it's possible to use a tripod and get photos of heavily-visited places during open hours without a lot of people in the finished shot. It's truly outstanding, even with my previous knowledge of the brand and the high expectations those experiences had generated!

I love this thing. For a while now my wife has been claiming that her late model iPhone makes my camera redundant, what with all its magical camera trickery that can make any photo pop, but it's stuff like this that proves her wrong. We've just spent a week on Koh Samui visiting waterfalls in bright sunlight, and the results I got from this 10 stop ND filter were astounding. My long exposures blow all of her shots out of the water.
The filter is nicely presented and feels high quality. I've not noticed any distortions or odd colour casts. This is just a great filter.

Got this for my outdoor shoots. Gets the job done with no issues or X going across my photos. Highly recommend to anyone. I use these on both my tamron lenses.

Love this camera lens and the case it came in! Very high resolution picture shots taken with this with unbelievable clarity! Very durable and made with good quality. Love adding this to my photo bag for must have shots!

Over the past year or so, I’ve tried maybe a half dozen K&F filters uniformly finding them to be among the best I’ve ever experienced. This high density ND 1000 has met my expectations of excellence that this brand has now established with me.
There’s little to say other than it’s thinner than other filters of any sort meaning it has less of a chance of creating unwanted refractions once mounted. Like all filters, it must be used alone. If added to an existing UV or clear filter many used as a lens protector, the two can and likely will work to degrade image quality. This refraction issue is a good reason not to mount the UV or clear filters as a lens protector. A lens shade works almost as well as a protector but won’t interfere with a filter.
In use, this ND 1000 does filter to 10 stops (eyeball estimate) without affecting the color or introducing other unwanted effects. Like so many things photographic, the good stuff costs but also performs.

Extra slim filter, with a consistent ND1000 density. No color shift or optical aberrations.
Filter threads smoothly onto my lens.
