bought the gradient filter because it was recommended to me by friends. After a few weeks of use I can say that I am more than satisfied with it. When taking photos, it is necessary to darken the sky (e.g. at sunrise or sunset) in order not to get a burned-out sky or too dark a foreground. This is where the filter shows its strengths. The filter can be positioned very easily in the appropriate holder without the risk of it slipping out. This gives you beautiful photos even with long exposures. To expand, I will add more filters of this brand later. I can make a clear purchase recommendation!

always wanted to have a high quality gradient filter. And I found him. The filter sits firmly in the holder, the filter holder can be easily mounted on the lens. Everything perfect. Very good quality.

Now, one might think that why would you spend almost £50 to buy this when there are similar products available for £10??? Well, if you are thinking that, then obviously you are not a pro photographer are you? You see, its the quality of glass that you pay for and the coating that goes onto it! The finer the glass is the better light transmission will take place which is the key here! So absolutely worth every penny as I've test run it and will include photos later to this review! Also was impressed by it's packaging as item like this requires supreme care !

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!

used this filter for long exposure photography, like photographing waterfalls and streams, to slow down the shutter speed and smooth out turbulent waters. It worked very well. I also shot a very spectacular sunset with it and again it worked very well. The only small negative point for me was a dominant whitish coloring when taking pictures under water. This was slightly removed in editing, so it's not too bad. I highly recommend this filter. Excellent value for money.

After lots of turns and looking at the end, I decided on this square metal filter holder and adapter rings. They are better than I expected and I was surprised by several things:
1. The shipping speed and the seller's response (Excellent)
2. The presentation and protection of the product. In padded envelopes, properly packed to avoid damage.
3. The quality of having it in my hands. They look very durable and fulfill their function perfectly.
I definitely recommend your purchase.

Description: The rim of the filter is made of matte black coated aluminum, I assume. The rim itself is actually quite nice. The wide, ridged design around the base of the filter makes it easy to put on and take off. The high index optical glass is in fact nano-coated to protect against water/oils from fingerprints, rain, etc. The glass itself has a slight yellow cast (which you can see in the photo comparison), but this can also be easily corrected using the automatic white balance of your camera or Lightroom.

At the time of this review, I've had the filter for about 4 days. My favorite attribute about this filter is the lack of "X" issues in photos. With many filters of different nUKter density, you can rotate the filter too far and create an accidental "X". K&F solved this problem by allowing the filter to only be twisted at a specific point so using it doesn't accidentally ruin the photos. The filter is very robust and robust. The non-rotating part of the filter has grooves to easily hold and rotate the outer ring. Great product so far.

Absolutely amazing filters and a great price for glass, no color cast that I can see on any of my support images.
