The K&F Concept 82mm Circular Polarizer Lens Filter is a fantastic addition to any photographer's kit. It greatly reduces glare and reflections, ensuring vivid colors and improved contrast in your shots. The build quality is solid, and the ultra-slim design avoids vignetting. While it's slightly more expensive than some alternatives, the multi-layer coatings make it worth the investment.

I like this polarizer, it reduces light by a couple stops on my Sony but its not as severe as i was anticipating for a $20 polarizer. Its pretty clear with very little distortion although i'm not putting it up against a test graph to be totally sure of its uniformity. I like that it includes a lens cap and a sealed microfiber cloth. One issue i've been having with this filter is that the threads bind a bit with my higher end B&W haze filter, I never test cheaper filters with my bear lens threads for this reason. I've also been having issues getting both the stock 72mm cap to fit as well as my own Sony 72mm cap so it must be something slightly off with the shape of the filter. All in all, it's really not a bad filter at all. For all I know, the issues i've been having may have been due to shipping although the filter seems to be in perfect condition.

This is optically good and does what it says -- when you turn it, it acts like polarized sun glasses to filter reflections on water and overly bright sky so your film or photo image is more artistic. Well made, turns easily for adjusting.

I'm quite happy with this circular polarizer. K&F is a reputable brand and so this works well on more expensive gear.
My 82mm filter screwed on smoothly to one of my Canon 24-105 zooms. On first testing, it did well to reduce reflections. There may be slight vignetting at the corners, but I will need to confirm this with more extensive testing with landscape photos.
I was impressed with the packaging. It came in a hard plastic case, with an extra lens cap (which I've never seen included with filters), and a vacuum-sealed polishing cloth.
No complaints and I've used some pretty cheaply made filters in the past.
