72mm Variable ND Filter True Color ND2-ND32 with 28 Layers of Anti-reflection Green Film Waterproof, Anti-scratch Nano-X Series
SKU: KF01.2159
In contrast to classic ND filters, the intensity of this filter can be adjusted in a range of 2-32. This is done by turning the filter; for this purpose, there is a small nup on the filter, which can be used as a 'handle'. Clever.
It comes with a high-quality case.
The filter doesn't run smoothly. If it were this, it would be difficult to set and, in the best case, maintain the desired filter effect. So: There is always something.
Overall, the filter is quite heavy due to the bonus function. Personally, I wouldn't use a filter for a single f-stop, it's actually not worth it.
However, I find it good to remain flexible when setting the effect.
Top workmanship, color distortion 0. All good.

The first impression of the ND filter is very good, the materials and workmanship look high-quality, the thread runs smoothly in my lenses and the adjustment itself is very pleasant. I really like the fact that the adjustment range is limited in both directions by a stop, so that accidental overturning is prevented.
The filter also does a good job in other respects, I was unable to notice any color cast or irregularities in the darkening in the entire adjustment range.
The price of currently 94.99€ is not particularly cheap, but in my opinion it is absolutely justified.

I am rarely let down by K&F filters and this one is equally as gorgeous. The build quality is fantastic and the toggle allows you to easily use the filter even if you’re wearing gloves. This is a precision CNC machine to aluminum frame that moves incredibly smoothly. The variable density transition smoothly without visual artifacts and that’s the most important part.
I would prefer brass of course and I think these days filters need to be magnetic. The days of spending hours screwing in unscrewing filters into your camera no longer need to be necessary. But for the quality of the filter and the price I’m still going to give it five stars.

Use the filter for filming if you are traveling a bit more compact without a matte box on the front of your optics — after a few weeks I can only say that the K&F filter is doing really well!
✅ No X-pattern at high ND values
✅ No obtrusive color cast visible in video material
✅ Practical transport bag with magnetic closure
✅ Filter runs pleasantly smoothly and is easy to use
... Of course, the higher-quality K&F Nano-X Pro or NISI True Color ND works better, especially when it comes to coatings, but then costs more accordingly. From a price/performance perspective, there is really nothing to complain about the K&F Concept Nano-X!

I got this for my Lumix FZ80 and am very happy with it. I like that you can adjust it from 1-5 stops. It feels very sturdy and well made.

The filter comes very well packaged in a nice magnetic closure box. The actual storage takes place in a high-quality leather case with an “ejection tape” so that you don't have to tap your fingers into the filter disc when removing it.
The filter and its mechanism are manufactured to a high quality, meaning that the filter thread can be easily screwed in without rubbing noises and frequent attempts to fix it and, after tightening, can be removed again with moderate force, provided that the inner thread of the lens is not damaged.
The special feature of this (ND) filter, however, is of course the ability to infinitely adjust the filter degree/strength using the screw-on brass handles, which also works very smoothly and impressively! For example, changing the filter is largely unnecessary, just a grip on the rotating ring is enough and you continue to dim or flash on accordingly. The range in which the filter effect can be changed is enormous - this saves a few filters and allows fine and easy adjustment until the desired effect is achieved!
Even though it doesn't quite come close to the Pro series, you still get a very high-quality filter and, with the variability offered, a very fair offer!

When it comes to photography, I'm more of a layman. The filters from K&F Concept have always been praised and recommended by various well-known photographers. I was able to test this filter here. Top workmanship. Top quality. Turning is slow, but that's okay for me. Better that way than it slipping all by itself. The price is of course not low but you get a lot in return. I think the optical performance is great. All in all 5 stars.

I had been using a cheap variable ND filter for years and when I recently upgraded to this the difference was immediately obvious. This ND filter does an excellent job not making dark spots around the edges of your video. I am using this on my Canon M50.

I've been using K&F products for my photos for some time now. I particularly like all the filters. This ND filter is also well made and does exactly what it should. It was easy to attach to my Canon RF 24-70 2.8. The 2-32 range is particularly suitable for everyday use. Even if the filter isn't on the lens, I can easily carry it around with me thanks to the high-quality bag.
In my opinion, this is a very well thought-out, high-quality product. The filter is worth the money. That's why I like to give 5 stars and recommend buying.
