SKU: KF01.1147
Of course, in preparation for our round trip, we also needed a good filter system. We spent months reading, getting information, watching and comparing videos. In the end we decided on this system. And that was a great decision! There are definitely better systems out there, but also for a lot more money. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether a hobby photographer really needs it. With this system, we are talking about real glass - not plastic! The glass is not colored but coated, so there are no distortions or blurring at the edges. The only drawback is that the glasses are quite difficult to slide into the holder - BUT nothing slips out and nothing slips. Perfect for quick position changes. We got used to it quickly. The results with the filter are as desired, there is nothing to complain about. We are thrilled and would choose this filter system again and again. We bought the kit with the holder including all adapter rings, the graduated filters, the 64 and the 1000 - everything was great! Have fun capturing memories!

the quality of these filters seems to be on par with others (more expensive ones). The course is clean and evenly straight. The very well thought-out pockets, with their pull-out tab, offer fingerprint-free handling. Clear purchase recommendation on my part...!!!

A mild light reducer. Can be easily plugged in together with other medium-strength ND filters. Quality like other manufacturers offer. Good optical glass.

bought the filter bag to have all the filters at hand more quickly and not to have to search for them, and to save space. The bag is of high quality and fits perfectly for 100x100mm filters. A total of three (theoretically four) different filters can be stowed in it. So it is perfect for a standard ND filter set (8,64,1000). The inside of the bag is completely lined with microfiber so that the filters can be transported in it without additional protection. As a smart feature, it has a pull-out mechanism. This means that if you open the bag and pull the tab, all the filters are offset and highlighted so that you can grab them much better and read the name directly. I bought another glass filter at the same time - ND64. Since I already own an ND8 from another brand and the ND1000 from K&F, this was of course still missing in the series. Overall, I am super satisfied with the quality of K&F. The filters (update 2020) have almost no color cast anymore. In certain light situations, my ND64 filter turns green. However, this can be corrected without major problems during image processing. The shape of the filter (no round filter) also means that there are no problems with vignetting or falling sharpness. The images are therefore almost unaffected in terms of image quality. The processing is top (no sharp edges, stains, etc.) and the price speaks for itself. All in all, I'm very happy with the entire filter system from K&F and will probably get hold of the gradient filters soon!

am a passionate landscape photographer as a hobby and have now switched from the screw filters to this rectangular filter system from K&F. The screw filters were all fine, but you don't have the option of attaching a graduated filter to the ND filter in order to achieve even nicer effects. It is mounted on the lens using so-called adapter rings, which are included in the most common sizes for lenses. After attaching the adapter ring to the lens, the filter holder is attached. This is secured by a small lever (spring-loaded) and later released again with this. Now you can slide the filter plates into the filter holder. This lifts a bit severely but it should also hold and must not wobble. It is also important to observe that the filter used is close to the lens so that no more light can penetrate between the filter and the lens, which could possibly ruin the recordings. In terms of quality, the system makes a good impression considering the price. The only thing I noticed negatively is that the filter holder has some play after it is placed on the adapter ring and why there is no adapter ring for a 55mm filter diameter in the set, I also ask. 55mm is a common diameter for lenses. I can highly recommend the K&F system for amateur photographers. The professionals will probably use filter holder systems from other manufacturers, but they also cost a lot more.

Quality filter, there are 5 steps, it is convenient for sunny days, it comes with a leather case with a magnet to close it, the filter is made of glass and not resin, the quality and price are luxury, I have more expensive filters from other brands and they are worse.

For auto rigshots I needed a quality filter at a good price, this would be worth buying at a much higher price! It comes beautifully packaged with a high quality holder for the filter, all made from non-animal products! But none of this matters if it doesn't work, but it does! High quality glass with no tolerable impact on my A7R IV's picture quality. If you need a great ND, this is it!

Since I haven't worked with ND filters before, I don't know what I could complain about here. Overall, I am very satisfied with the glasses from K&F. You get a high-quality, processed filter with top optical quality and a good scope of delivery (artificial leather case).

The filter looks valuable and the packaging is good. Unfortunately, my copy showed clear vignettes in both the direction of ND32 and ND2, making the filter virtually unusable. In addition, the minimum stop was not clean, so that a clear darkening was already visible at minimum (>ND2), only turned a little further did I actually have ND2. So it went from slightly darkened (>ND2) to bright (ND2) to significantly darkened (ND32). It's a shame, but that's why I sent the filter back. I then did not examine the glass quality more closely.

I find this filter ideal for photo and video. But at 10mm on my 80D Crop captUKr it casts a shadow over it. When I zoom a pUK like 14mm it disappears. NO X, no coulUKr dominant. Excellent filter... As advertised. and nice build...
