I have used other variable ND filters in the past and whilst I didn't ever come across any real issues with them, I did brake my last one when dropping it in a car park!! So I bought this one having already been very impressed with the K&F square filter kit, I thought I would try them again and they haven't disappointed. I mostly use the VND filter when filming (the square kit is not ideal for filming) and in the summer it's a must-have piece of kit. The case that comes with the filter is really handy for chucking in a bag and I know it will be protected. the twisting rings are nice and chunky so its really easy to change the strength which is hand when filming.
The image quality is great with no noticeable colour casting and you don't get the wired X that you can sometimes get with the cheaper VNDs.
With a VND at this quality and price point, I really see no need to invest £300 in one.
My only very slight gripe is that I cant use my lens hood with it and the lens cap doesn't fit as snuggly as it does on the lens, meaning I cant just leave it on.

Nicely made, nicely damped movement. And none of the X vignetting that happens with some variable ND filters.
and if you unscrew it slightly works well as a polarising filter which is a nice unexpected bonus!

A great concept, good value, not as dark as my normal 10 stop but a good device withe a quick ability to have some fade

This is very clear: you DON'T need to spend much money on a ND filter as you have this brand. It works so good, great quality, very tiny vignette and it doesn't affect image quality. Unless you're professional filmmaker/photographer (so maybe you need to buy a more expensive one), I definitely recommend this K&F filter.

Good filter quality, no vignette when turning all the way to ND32. Would recommend!

Came in a beautiful box
Smooth and high quality
I'm very happy about the product
Thinking to buy one more for another lens.

I did a lot of research and watching videos etc before buying the K&F veriable ND filter, I wasn't sure this filter would help with 4k video, wow was I so wrong. As you can see in the screen shots from the video, it makes a massive difference. I am very impressed and glad I bought it. Yes I would recommend. Thanks

This filter is well constructed with physical stops from the lightest to the darkest setting. This means no more endless spinning of the filter and therefrore prevents the dreaded "X" discolouration.
Because of this it's not the darkest filter (about 4 stops) but its good for most situations. Also the front of the filter is threaded (many arent!) so it is possible to add a lens cap or another filter, for example on rare occaision in really bright conditions I've added solid ND filter to it. Comes in a protective hard case too, great for when you're on your travels or storage. Overall, it's a quality item especially at this price!

I'm big into night photography, but the problem is, I often find that to get the desired results, I have to have a really low ISO. Because of this filter, I am able to take better photos without compromising on my ISO. The filter comes securely packaged and it will be accompanying me on my travels.
