Ive ordered this CP filter for all of my lens sizes and am always impressed by this company's products! Not only does the filter fit and feel solid and well made, but the true color CP give impressive results! Great company to deal with too, excellent customer service and they actually listen to customers and impliment improvements..

The glass is first rate - the rim is very stiff and gets worse in the cold, and physically very difficult indeed to unscrew because the knurled rear part is slightly too small in external diameter for a good grip. You could end up unable to remove it quickly, so just as well it loses only the minimum amount of light. Good coating suppresses flare. Photo example shows use to dial down the light reflected off the sea maximum, leaving the sky/sun unaffected, but underexposed deliberately for the sun and clouds. Without the polariser the sea would be as bright as the sky.

I've had a few K&F Concept Filters, and this one ranks up there. As a CPL it has some wonderful values when used on a sunny day, when shooting into water, or when shooting reflective things.
The case is big and round made to hold all sorts of filter sizes. The filter itself feels well constructed and based on everything K&F says it's made with a NANO-X coating to eliminate yellowish tint.
It's a screw-on filter and I had no issues when putting it on, however, after leaving it on for a while there was a time when it did come loose and needed re-tightening.
The colors from the filter are deeper and more pronounced. The skies have more depth and less glare on glass and water.
If you're looking for a good CPL Filter, K&F should be at the top of your list.

I'd heard of K&F filters, and I'd seen some rather glowing reviews. When I had a chance to try these for myself, I jumped at it. And I was NOT disappointed.
I tested these against two other brands, both of which cost north of $200 for an 82mm size. When I was done snapping photos in a park under a mid-day sky full of puffy white clouds (a perfect sky to test a CPL), I went home to see how they measured up.
My first clue was mistakenly thinking the images from my Breakthrough Photography filter were the ones I took through the K&F. The other, the one that boasts there is absolutely never in a million years chance of any hint of a color cast, has a slight but definite color cast. Yes, of course I took control shots without any filter. The other, a B+W, was the same as this K&F -- but it cost a bunch more.
I should note that these were all high-transmission filters. If I need an ND I'll use one, thank you very much. No need for a CPL to try and double as one.
Bottom line is these are very good filters, as good (or better) as much more expensive brands. That makes these not only a great value, but a smart choice.

The other comments are correct, it's a bit hard to adjust the rotation, but otherwise it's a fantastic filter!

I've used this a number of times on a few of my lenses and had great results. The build quality is really good and it threads perfectly into every lens I tested it with without binding. The filter has a firm turn and holds position nicely. Optical quality is very good and I noted very little fall off in total light reaching the sensor.
The price is very good for the quality and I keep one of these in my travel kit all the time. Great job K&F!
