58mm ND1000 (10 Stop) Filter Nano-Xcel Series - Multi-Coated Optical Glass, Fixed Neutral Density Lens Filter
SKU: KF01.975
Great build quality, beautiful result without colour shift. When attaching slowly rotate near end so as to not tighten too hard as it is tough to get out, just twist till it stops.

I got this as my first lens filter for a Canon Rebel T2i. I wanted to do nice long exposure landscapes and light painting. I learned that a 10 stop (aka ND1000) filter is a fun tool to have. I took these shots in the first half hour of owning the filter, they are unedited straight off the camera. Can't wait to play around with it more. The filter comes with a round case that fits one filter between 43mm and 82mm. The outside of the case is hard plastic and the inside has rubber pads. Compared to how much you can spend on just this one filter (100+ from other brands). There is a slight color cast as others have mentioned but its very tolerable and correctable. Threads onto the lens nicely and fits the lens cap on the front.I think this is a bargain if you are just learning and experimenting (like me).

Pocket-friendly photography accessory that performs as expected under the strong sunlight.The same time serves to protect the lens in dusty conditions.I've used it on a very sunny day, and the filter did the intended job.

TL;DR Summary:Pros (+):+High quality+Noticeable results+Fits well on Canon DSLR+Good valueCons (-):-NONERead the full review for more.================If you’re into photography this is a cool filter to have. Without much effort, you can get some seriously different results that are softer, smoother, and make your pictures a lot nicer to look at. It helps you soften the image if you will because of the way it limits light, and the results are actually very obvious – complements from other photographers are to be expected! I found for the value and the actual results, this was a good product to have in your camera bag if you’re into taking pictures for the gram!=======================Rating Breakdown (5/5)Product Quality: 5Ease of use: 5Performance: 5Value: 5Overall: 5

I finally got a chance to try out this filter... pandemic lockdown makes traveling a problem. I found that the filter is a little bit difficult to remove once in place, so you may want to make sure you don't tighten it down completely. I had no difficulties with colour reproduction while using this filter, it worked very well. Excellent for extending exposure time for those very smooth water effects. I'm posting images without and with the filter for comparison.

You can spend a LOT of money on ND filters. I'm no pro, my photos make me happy but don't make me money, so I didn't want to spend $100+ if I didn't have to. But I'd heard a lot of stories about cheap filters having bad colour cast, or not affecting exposure accurately. So I figured I'd take a couple test shots with this one. And I'm very impressed.The first photo was taken with my 5Div and 85mm f1.8 lens at 1/20s, f1.8, ISO 100. Untouched jpg SOC.The second is the same camera and lens, now with the 10-stop ND filter, in about the same position (I picked it up to change settings and put on the ND filter): 3.2s, f1.8, ISO 1600.To my amateur eye, there's no significant change in color or exposure... K&F says 10 stops and it really is.For what these filters cost this is really really good.

Fits perfectly on Canon RF 24-105 f/4L. No issues with fitment or quality.The weather and quarantine hasn't really been great for shooting. So I haven't been able to get some clouds or streams as I wanted. So far with a few test shots it's as you would expect from a 10 stop ND filter. If I can get out to take some tripod pics I'll update this review.It comes with a really nice case. Nicer than the Amazon basics ones. However my Amazon basics circular polarizer is too fat to fit into this case. Too bad because it would have been nice to just carry this nice case around.

K&F Concept 77MM Neutral Density Lens Filter 10 Stops ND1000 Filter is impressive at this price range. I have used expensive filters that leaves noticeable color cast. But L&F filter leaves minimal color cast that is easily correctable in post-processing.On the downside, built quality is not as good as expensive filters such as B+W. Also I have noticed that it scratches easily. So as long as you are careful, it works well.I can recommend it to anyone looking for good results at reasonable price point.

If you are interested in adding more gears for your camera, whether micro four third or dslr, I highly recommend getting ND filter. If you want a long exposure that reduces the amount of light entering your lens, you go for an ND filter. Usually you get ND filter with 3-stops in strength - 2,4,8. But this is 10, which is quite extreme. This K&F is a 10 stop one which basically reduces the light entering your lens by approximately 10 stops. You can get incredible images using slow shutter speed or wide apertures- for example street photography, moving clouds, moving water(such as river, lake, ocean) or waterfall. Make sure you have your camera mounted on a tripod (due to long exposure) or else you won't he happy with the output.I recommend downloading an image or app to help you calculate the shutter speed.You will need to find a suitable composition and then take a test shot without the filter. Move your dial to manual mode, before you put the filter on (otherwise the filter will make the composition very dark and your lens will try to continue to auto focus). Calculate what shutter speed you will need to adjust and take the shot.For the price you pay for this K&F, the image turned out pretty good. Although, there is a color cast, so you will need to either adjust it in your camera or use photo processing software such as lightroom to adjust the color cast. I can;t wait for this virus to be over so that I can take my camera and this filter out to shoot some water falls!!*Unfortunately I am unable to upload a photo right now, but when it's back on, I will upload a pic.

I'm using this on my Fujifilm X-T100 with a step-up ring (my lens size is 52mm and this filter is 58mm), and I am blown away by the results. I've read about ND filters and I've been wanting to try one since I'm not impressed with polarizing filters, and my exceptions were met and then some. The filter does a wonderful job filtering out light, allowing me to get much clear pictures. I took it out for a test run on a very sunny day and the pictures I took were so sharp and clear.The filter comes in a plastic storage box. The metal ring is threaded properly. I had no issues adding it to my step-up ring. I've taken it off and on a few times just to see how the threads would hold up, and it is still screwing in smoothly. The lens itself is clear with no visible flaws.I have taken many pictures with this filter now, and I can see no noticeable colour shift in any of them. The pictures look sharp and clear.
