This is a great filter and fits my sigma e-mount lens perfectly! The packing is fantastic and the case to carry the filter is designed so nicely! Love everything about it!

K&F concepts. They’ve been around for awhile now, so I trust them and their camera gear.
As far as their UV filter, it’s awesome.
The packaging itself is beautiful. The box it comes with actually turns into a frame for a photo that you can place into the center of it.
The filter case is also beautifully made. Really premium feel. The package also includes a cleaning cloth.
But the filter. First off, putting it onto my lens was pleasant. The partially texture/knurled surface of the ring makes it putting it on and off easy. You can really get a grip onto the filter.
The clarity is way better than my previous cheap Hoya. This might be due to the different coatings this filter has but it’s been noticeable.
I mainly use UV filters for protecting my lenses. I’ve had a few drops and I’m always happy that I’ve had a UV filter on.
You don’t want to cheap out on a UV filter because it may affect image quality and I’m glad I’ve got this one from K&F. I’ll be leaving this on this lens forever!

I have had many UV filters from multiple brands. This is now one of my favorites. It is exceptionally clear, light weight, and well built. The included storage case is also top notch. I'm going to have the leather flap labeled with a laser. The box converts into a picture frame which is oddly cool.

I'm comparing this item KF's regular Nano filter. At the same settings on my Panasonic 85mm f/1.8, I can see more detail coming out of my lens on this Pro filter versus the regular Nano Filter.
Since I love the sharpness of the 85mm, I'd much rather use the sharper filter. It's probably not a big deal to those who aren't pixel peeping but I can definitely see a difference in the hairs and I really like this filter.

The lens looks and feels nice. It seems to be of good quality and would last longer. The storage case looks elegant and comes with a wipe to clean the lens. The few pictures I have taken seem reasonable, and the lens doesn't cause any issues with the quality.

I got this UV protection filter for my dslr lens after scratching another one. This lens is slim and fits well. It is great for adding a layer of protection to your lens. This filter comes in a very nice case for storage. I don’t notice a huge difference in my photos with and without, but the added protection for my lens is worth it.

There are people that claims that when you use an UV filter on your lens, the resulting picture quality is degraded. Maybe my eyes are not that sharp but I cannot tell the difference. This one can be used to protect your lens from dust and the accidental touch with your fingertips. You can clean with included cloth or buy some of these wipes for lenses. Better destroy or damage this one and not your $2,500 lens.

I like to use UV filters for lenses that aren't in the studio enviornment. Nothing sucks more than having the elements contimanate your lens and having to hault the shoot to fix it. The major downside to this approach is the bulk and loss of image quality with inexpensive UV filters.
This filter perfectly addresses that need. It has a very slim profile that is barely noticable - yet still functions great for attaching the lens cap. The small profile also produces less distance between your glass and the filter.
I haven't noticed any ghosting, chromatic aberattions, or other distortions from using this filter. This is very rare - and marks the K&F as a winner in my book.

Ok, so the filter itself is a UV filter and if it is doing its job, it protects your lens from damage, dirt, sand, etc without impacting image quality. K&F is a good brand and this filter does its job.
The filter screwed on nicely without any of the squeaky sounds some filters make. I did not notice any impact on my images.
The filter is thinner than some of my other filters, but it does have knurling in the edges to assist in twisting it on and off.
But enough about the filter...The case is amazing. While some filters come in a hard plastic case filled with form-fitting foam, this filter comes with a leather (albeit maybe fake leather) and canvas semi-rigid case. The inside is lined with a micro suede type material and has a pull string so that you can get the filter out of the case without touching the glass. This pull string raises the filter up out of the pocket of the case much like some wallets that have interior pull strings to push out credit cards.
Overall, I like the filter and am impressed with the amount of energy invested in the case. These seems like a quality product to me
