Definitely a nice surprise! I expected an average filter for the price point, I am attaching a copy of one of the first 5 photos I took with it in the Smoky Mountains. The first 4 were just figuring out the shutter speed I wanted. Quite pleased, wife happy - can't ask for anything more. Looking forward to many pictures using this 82mm Variable ND Filter with my Tamron 24-70 lens (or a more wide angle when I can afford one) on my Nikon D-500.

I had a smaller diameter of this product for a different lens, so when I got my new lens the first thing I bought was this ND filter. It is incredible. And this one had little dots along the edge, as well as text that read "Min" and "Max". This was super helpful. My only complaint about the smaller ones was that you couldn't tell how far was the maximum and minimum, and this model has solved that issue. I don't go anywhere without this filter. I will be buying a K&F Variable ND filter for every lens that I get from now on.

Handy for older manual film camera with max 1000 or 500/ sec shutter speed to meter in sunny daylight, lens wide open. Metering can be adjusted by turning the ND to meet the correct light exposure at a set shutter-speed and choice DOF (f-stop) combination. Wonderful tool for needle metered or LED array camera where you see the progress of exposure as you turn.
Retractable Rubber hood is the best solution to attach a hood.
Lens cap for a 67mm will be 72mm. I will assume 1 size larger.

This thing is ridiculous! Got it yesterday and took it out today for some waterfall pics in a small stream close by. This was around 5 in the afternoon. Nice, bright, sunny day. I was able to get 20 second shots with no problem and could have taken even longer ones. I did get a few nasty flares on a few of my pics but I think that was my bad as I was shooting towards the sun and it is not on all of my pictures. I'll have to try again and shoot with the sun to my back and see how it does. But for the price there is no reason not to have one for each of your lenses. Very happy with this. And it's nicely constructed of metal and screw in smoothly. 6 Stars!

While I love the slim design, I really don't like that my lens cap doesn't always fit on this variable ND filter. If so, I would never take it off my lenses

Check out the video I uploaded to see the image quality. I shot with the z cam s6 with the Tokina 11-20mm and an aperture of 2.8 with a native ISO of 400

I absolutely love it! In the first image I tried the darkest setting of this filter because it is extremely bright on the outside and looks even brighter with white flowers. The first lens I bought was too small and the company helped me almost immediately! And the quality of the lens is even better than the customer service! The original variable lens I purchased was from a different company and the darkest setting didn't seem to help at all.

For the price it's great, perfect for beginners or someone on a budget. If you're wondering what size you should choose, look at your camera lens. There should be a two-digit number there. This is the size you need. Works great on my A6400

used the 77mm filter on my Canon 24-70 lens with excellent results! The attached photo was taken at Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio, USA. Since it is one of the cheaper ND filters, it definitely performs excellently.

almost gave up on investing in an ND filter because I wasn't willing to spend $200 or more for some waterfall shots. Came across this one and loved it. I took it with me on my trip to Italy and it produced some phenomenal shots in full daylight. It worked great both for 30-second exposures of waterfalls and when I just needed it to block out the haze of the rising sun at the top of St. Peter's Basilica. Of course there may be some shadows around the edges, but the overall quality of the photos is worth it.
