K&F are really making some great quality products for affordable prices. Would highly recommend. This filter gives a nice soft look around lights giving you more of a movie feel to whatever you may be filming. The variable ND makes it alot easier during run & gun shoots.

I was immediately impressed with the build quality and overall presentation – the unboxing experience felt premium, and the filter itself is sturdy and well-crafted. The ND functionality works beautifully, giving me great control in bright conditions without affecting color too much.
That said, I would’ve appreciated a small booklet or quick-start guide with tips or examples—especially for those new to using filters.
As for the built-in black mist effect: it’s a creative touch, but personally, it’s not my style. I prefer a cleaner image straight out of camera and found the diffusion a bit too soft for my taste.
If you like a dreamy, cinematic look, the black mist might be perfect for you. But if you want crisp footage with more post control, you may want to opt for a version without it.

This is THE absolutely best all-in-one lens filter I have EVER used. I can't recommend it enough! It's incredibly easy to use, feels premium in the hand and has a photographer's best interest at heart. The variable neutral density filter has five amazing stops, the circular polarizer helps eliminate glare entirely, it does not have color casting on your photos, the functionality is there and it's the best bang-for-your-buck filter on the market. Grab one!

This K&F Concept filter is a fantastic all-in-one solution! The black diffusion 1/4 mist adds a subtle cinematic softness to highlights without sacrificing image detail—great for portraits and moodier scenes. The variable ND (ND2–32) gives me solid control over exposure, and the CPL is effective at cutting glare and enhancing skies. Build quality is excellent, with smooth rotation and solid threading. It’s convenient, compact, and delivers great results—perfect for run-and-gun shooting or travel kits. Highly recommended!

Outstanding filter from a well respected filter manufacturer. This combo filter combines a CPL, 5-stop variable ND and ¼ black mist for a subtle amount of softening. It also noteworthy that the design doesn't introduce the dreaded X-cross effect. The large red adjustment knob will lock in place when you rotate it.

Combining Black Mist, VND, and CPL seems a bit weird, but after using it outdoors a few times, I totally get it.
For stuff like shooting waterfalls, rivers, portraits in harsh light, or light painting, this thing’s clutch. The VND controls exposure, the CPL cuts reflections, and the Black Mist adds that nice soft glow to the highlights without overdoing it. It’s a 1/4 mist, so it feels subtle.
Build quality is solid, and the way you adjust the ND and lock in the CPL is actually really slick. I still have individual filters in the kit, but for quick setups or travel shoots, this all-in-one is super handy. Saves time, space, and delivers great results.

The contrast variation of this thing for the price is amazing. I got it as a gift for my brother who has a photographer and this is a quick swap out.

This is a very good filter to have. This filter has 3 effects in one filter. It has black diffusion mist effect, variable ND filter and circular polarizer. The black diffusion mist is great for softening the highlights without losing to much sharpness. It's good to give a cinematic film look. The ND filter brings down the bright exposure from 1 to 5 stops. This may work outdoor during the day but the subject still needs to be under the shaded area because 5 stops may not be enough. The circular polarizer is great to reduce unwanted reflection and glare. It works well if there is water in the frame. This will reduce the reflection on the water.
Everything is in one. There is no need to unscrew or screw to make adjustments. I like that this filter has a friendly dial thumb that I can easily rotate to control how much stops I want. The built is a high quality one. The glass is a high quality one as well. The optical glass ensures excellent light transmission and clarity. The glass is scratch-resistant.
When I don't use this filter, I can remove this filter and put it in its beautiful filter case.
