55mm Adjustable Variable ND2-ND400 (9 Stops) Filter + Lens Cleaning Cloth - For DSLR Cameras
SKU: SKU0886
Long exposure. At first I hardly used it, now I'm a huge fan. I shopped around and found the perfect tripod (carbon-fiber Manfrotto, also great). When that arrived, I mentioned to my friend I was planning on getting waterfalls with a slow shutter speed, and he said, "You gotta ND filter, right?" I knew I had a trip up to Letchworth coming up that weekend. That evening I rushed onto Amazon, shopped around, and found this product. Perfect size for my Zeiss 50mm and 35mm!
I didn't really get the chance to mess with this ND filter until I arrived at Letchworth and wow was I blown away! The crisp rolling ring and the crisp shade of black make this such an incredible product. So worth the price! I'm blown away by how it doesn't degrade the quality of my captures my lenses can get.
I love long exposure now. With my lightweight tripod and my filter, I can only grow.
I included a picture of a covered bridge in Cuyahoga Valley National Park taken with this filter. It was a eight second shutter speed.

Handy for older manual film camera with max 1000 or 500/ sec shutter speed to meter in sunny daylight, lens wide open. Metering can be adjusted by turning the ND to meet the correct light exposure at a set shutter-speed and choice DOF (f-stop) combination. Wonderful tool for needle metered or LED array camera where you see the progress of exposure as you turn.
Retractable Rubber hood is the best solution to attach a hood.
Lens cap for a 67mm will be 72mm. I will assume 1 size larger.

This thing is ridiculous! Got it yesterday and took it out today for some waterfall pics in a small stream close by. This was around 5 in the afternoon. Nice, bright, sunny day. I was able to get 20 second shots with no problem and could have taken even longer ones. I did get a few nasty flares on a few of my pics but I think that was my bad as I was shooting towards the sun and it is not on all of my pictures. I'll have to try again and shoot with the sun to my back and see how it does. But for the price there is no reason not to have one for each of your lenses. Very happy with this. And it's nicely constructed of metal and screw in smoothly. 6 Stars!

These filters are marvelous with ideal cinematic qualities. Most importantly you receive a product with high-end build quality and appearance at a more competitive price than other brands. HiShop is a very professional organization and I plan on returning to this vendor in the future.

Wasn't sure about the variable fader, concerned it wasn't strong enough.
Excellent quality and performance, easiest handling. Took photos of partial solar eclipse and even direct sunlight. Simple twisting adjusts brightness from next-to-fully transparent to pitch-black. Never seen such a thing.
This is a must-have item for creative photography. Arrived quickly.

I purchased the K&F Concept 46mm Variable ND prior to my vacation to San Antonio, and I was super impressed with what this budget filter could do!
Any aspiring photographer knows how tough it is to film and take photos in bright sunlight and not have everything over exposed. This variable ND was the easy to answer to my run and gun filming style while I was out and about on my vacation shooting my Vlog.
I definitely recommend this product to people who need lens filters for their shoots. Comes in a nice protective case and fits easily in my camera bag!

Ill start off by saying I am no expert. The majority of bad reviews are because people do not understand that these adjustable filters are not supposed to be used to their full capacity. Any filter will start giving issues when turned to their max. With that said, just practice with this filter first and know its limitations. You will be a happy customer if you do.

I was reading reviews for other ND filters and found this one for the price to work great for what i will be doing. The build quality is really nice, it has some weight to it so it feels strong, the glass is really clean and it works perfect, I got this for my 35mm 1.8 and it allows me to take pictures and shoot video in full daylight at a wide aperture of 1.8 with an even balance of blue in the sky to the greens in the grass. I was really impressed with the quality of this filter. I will be getting another one for my 50mm 1.8. I'm using it for mid day long exposures of waterfalls and cloud landscapes. Also this helps give a cinematic look for shooting video which looks really nice! I didn't see any noticeable loss of detail in images or video which is what i was worried about. I did NOT notice any kind of X or shadowing from this filter. It is probably from using a wide angle lens. I highly recommend this ND filter!

Trying to shoot a long exposure photograph around sunset or sunrise with a standard ND filter can be a challenge. However, with this filter I was able to easily adjust to the changing light condition and keep my shutter speeds where I wanted them to be to ensure that I was able to capture the light trails of the cars in their entirety. The filter did not produce a color cast which is excellent for a filter in this price range. The team at K&F have a winner on their hands with this filter.

Filter works great. Yes it gives an "X" image, but only if you go past MAX, which you shouldn't be doing anyway. True neutral gray, does not affect image or color quality. Solid construction. A good filter to have on hand.
