K&F Concept keeps proving why they’re such a reliable brand for affordable, quality gear. This 82mm VND is smooth, accurate, and performs like a filter that should cost a lot more.
In my test shots, I saw no “X” cross pattern, no dark edges, and no weird color cast. That’s a huge win if you’ve ever fought with cheaper filters that ruin your shots. The large thumb handle is another nice touch—easy to find and adjust without taking your eye off the subject.
Overall, this is a well-built, dependable ND filter that’s perfect for both photo and video work. If you need a VND that just works without surprises, this one’s a solid pick.

This K&F CONCEPT ND2–32 filter delivers clean, consistent light control with minimal color shift. The 1–5 stop range is smooth and predictable, making it easy to dial in exposure for video or long-exposure photography. The ultra low reflectivity and 28-layer Nano-X coating cut glare and preserve contrast, even in bright conditions.

Build quality feels solid, and the 82mm thread fits snugly without binding. Whether you're shooting waterfalls, cityscapes, or cinematic footage, this filter offers reliable performance with true-to-life color and pro-level polish.

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this. The coatings are perfect, the images come out perfect, the case it stores in is smart with the little pull tab to raise it up, the thumb tab is so nice to have for adjustment on the filter, and the range of stops is more than enough for what i need, or what anyone needs. This is on par with some more costly filters i have, so i think this one is worth it.

Fantastic Variable ND filter. K&F Concept has really shown itself to be a quality manufacturer. I own around a dozen of their products and they have all performed perfectly and are made super nicely. This is no different. There is a sort of rough finish to the exterior of the filter so that your fingers wont slip and so that the filter doesn't accidentally slide out of your hands. The small ridge on the outer filter wheel allows you to get a good purchase on it so that you can really dial in the amount of ND you are looking for while reducing the likelihood of accidental fingerprints on the glass. The rings rotate very smoothly yet are solid enough that they wont jostle loose or get bumped out of alignment while shooting. The glass is very nice and I see no big color shift when using this filter, though some shifting is normal and expected. This filter was minimal

Vignetting is pretty common on VNDs, but they are minimal if at all present with my filter. The case is a standout, being constructed of a leather like material, large enough for the filter to just drop in and slide right out. A magnetic closure makes one handed use very easy. Also the package is very nice, and more presentation quality than utilitarian.

A stand out VND, and while there are cheap ones available on Amazon, this filter is better than any bargain filter I have tested by miles.

Using this on my anamorphic lens, and it's great! As the item says, it's true colour - there's really nothing noticeable other than the ND-ness of the ND filter applied when using this filter. So my lens is safer, my colours don't blow out, and my anamorphic lens can work its magic without layers of lens filter distortion getting in the way. The filter itself is nice and robust - feels like a solid, reliable filter, nothing plastic or light or flimsy about this thing!

Really convenient lens filter and of great quality, I like it!

Pros:
- Solid build quality
- Clear optics
- Smooth ring for the variable ND
- Love the included case, nice pleather design
- Relatively cheap compared to premium options on the market

Cons:
- noticeable color shift, but reasonable amount considering the price

Overall:
I've been pretty happy with this VND from K&F Concepts. while it may not seem cheap initially, when you compare this to other VNDs on the market (e.g. B&W) this is actually reasonably priced. There is some noticeable color shift, but a reasonable amount for the price. This is otherwise clear and works well.

This is the first VND filter above $100 I ever have. And I also have a similar Neewer (1-9 stops) one at only 1/3 price of the K&F VND filter. How they compare? The weight: 33g (K&F) vs 28g (Neewer), they both have hard stops, but K&F feels more solid. When installed on a Lumix 35-100/2.8, Neewer has all the description on the top edge, while all the stop marks on the bottom, while K&F has all the stop marks on the top, which makes the numbers easy to read. And I like that.

K&F filter has 28 coating, and Neewer has only 6 coatings. They both have no obvious color shift. I took 4 pictures from stop 1 to stop 4. On the histogram, K&F curves shift from left to right linearly, but Neewer curves move strangely. I thought perhaps the sunlight intensity changed, so I repeated the tests two more times, but the results were the same. You pay what you get. Later, I will do the similar tests for other VND filters.

With K&F VND filter, I have a more accurate control, and easy to use. The Neewer filter works, if you don't mind its problem. And I will compare this $100 VND with other $50 true color ones, to find out what are the differences.
