Had a problem at first. The filter holder, closest slot to the lens, had a large space allowing a lot of light in and of course making the filter application useless. I contacted K&F and they were aware of the problem and asked patience as they were working on a solution. No problem. Within two weeks they sent me their updated filter holder and it now has a soft material that prevents any light entering. Perfect. The filter is a true 8 stop and glass not plastic. Great service, they stand behind their products, great filter, great price. What are you waiting for?

I've been toying with the idea of buying a graduated filter for a long time, although the prices from Nisi, Haida, etc., around 150 euros, have always put me off.
Then I came across the filters from K&F, because the filters were reasonably priced, I ordered them.
The extremely beautiful and high-quality packaging should also be emphasized. Here you get an imitation leather case that is lined with fine fabric on the inside and has 2 magnetic buttons incorporated. This case is again in a nice padded cardboard box, very valuable and stable so I wasn't really disappointed.
Filter holder:
First of all, it has to be said that you need a filter holder system for the filters, which costs around £25 at K&F. This is well made and serves its purpose. Here comes the filter holder in a padded cardboard box. The scope of delivery includes the filter holder and 8 adapters in the size 49mm - 82mm.
So I'm already looking forward to going out into nature with the filter to test it.
The adapter ring is screwed onto the lens thread and the holder is simply mounted on the ring with a snap mechanism. The mount holds securely and doesn't give me any concerns that it might not hold even with minimal play.
The optical quality of the gradient filter is great! I didn't notice any loss in image quality and there's no distortion or vignetting. Furthermore, I could not detect any color impairments or other color distortions. The filter does what it is supposed to do, it easily darkens an overexposed sky and saves me a lot of work in post-processing.
Conclusion
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). For the price of around €115, it doesn't need to hide behind the other brands. I will soon buy more glasses from K&F.

Very nice kit and quality material. I haven't tried it yet but can't wait to go out and play. Had a small bump in the road, but the seller quickly and kindly resolved. Thank You.

It is an excellent quality item, it allows you to take pictures with very slow shutter speeds, and the effects are incredible. Very happy

Buy several of K&F's filters, and while the brand disappoints when it comes to tripods, it more than makes up for it when it comes to filters. This kit is excellent, at the level of optical quality, and materials.
They have almost no color cast or chromatic aberrations, as well as no loss of image sharpness.
Highly recommended, especially since the ND1000 can go head to head with a Lee Big Stoper, and deliver better results for a fraction of the price.
The only drawback that it has, like all KITs, is that it does not come with a case to store everything (the K&F case is sold separately and is quite small for my needs).

Welp, after getting this and not having a need for it until, of course, 2 days after the return window had closed, I broke it within 15 minutes of starting to use it. The seller graciously replaced it for me and followed up with multiple emails to check in with me. Still getting to know the product but initial impression is good and the seller provided excellent service.
