- 【28 Multi-Layer Coatings】K&F Concept optical engineers developed a new Nano coating layer technology, offering multi-layer waterproof, oil-repellent, and scratch-resistant features and protecting the valued lens.
- 【NOTE】This ND filter suits all 72mm lenses. Be sure to check your camera's lens thread size (usually beside a "ø" diameter symbol) before ordering. Additionally, a 77mm lens cap is required for this 72mm variable ND filter.

Customers find the camera lens filters easy to use. They mention that it's easy to install on the camera, screw on and off of lenses, and adjust. The best part is being able to dial in very easily the amount of stops they need to make. It's an easy enough fix for photos but not so great for video. The unit is seamless, threads appear strong, and the build quality is incredible.

Customers are mixed about the vignetting of the camera lens filters. Some mention that there is no vignetting or X's in their images or videos, while others say that the Vignetting is a little bad at both extremes and renders the filter unusable. Some customers also mention that the filter has heavy vignettes in the top left corner and on the edges.

"...Not anymore. This filter is SO GOOD, it flattens light beautifully that I use it even indoor, as much as I can." Read more
"...Still, these filters have offered significant light control and should be considered for any photographer wanting more precise exposures than those..." Read more
"...on my lens for indoor shoots too but there is always a very subtle tint on it even at it’s lowest setting...." Read more

Description: The rim of the filter is made out of what I'd assume is aluminum, coated matte black, (which has a nice weight to it, and has hard stops at ND2 & ND32). The rim itself is actually fairly nice. It's easy to put on, and easy to take off due to the wide ridged design around the base of the filter. The high index optical glass is indeed nano coated to protect against water/oils from fingerprints, rain, & etc. Which are easily removed without struggle in my testing with a clean micro fiber cloth (not included). The glass itself has a slight yellow tint to it (which you can see from the photo comparison), which can also easily be corrected through your cameras auto white balance, or lightroom. The filter also doesn't loose to much detail if adjusted properly which is nice as you will see from the photos, and their description in the next section.
Photos: The first four photos of the product were taken without any filters. Though the next two of the black & red mouse pad were to show detail comparisons. These two photos were taken about 1-2ft away, but are cropped to show detail. Which were slighty adjusted to be as equal as possible.
Without the filter: F4.0 1/15s. ISO 400
ND32: F4.0 1s ISO 400
The next 6 photos of the flowers next to the bird bath were taken without adjusting any settings to show the darkness of the filter (F5.6 1/320s ISO 100), in this order: No Filter, ND2 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & ND32 5th stop.
Overall: The produce works well, and is well made! I would highly recommend picking one of these up, along with a circular polarizer. Though only notable things I found with the product is that it has a slight yellow tint of the filter, the front thread size of the filter in bigger then 58mm, and the top of the filter very slightly wiggles. Otherwise it gets a solid A from me!
Extra: I used a 49mm-58mm step up ring for the filter to fit my Canon 50mm F/1.8
Camera/Settings: Shot on a Canon Rebel SL3, with custom white balance settings set to +/-0,+/-0 for raw color quality.

This 52mm filter comes in a huge plastic case. Clearly, a common case is used by K&F for all filter sizes, but these are too bulky to carry in your camera bag for just that small filter, especially if you have several. I’m going to have to find more appropriately sized cases.
.
The filter itself is manufactured to a very high quality standard. It threaded on first time, and smoothly, to the K&F UV filter, which I use purely as protection for the camera lens. The filter also screws off easily with no sticking. The knurled filter body is easy to grip for that. There are stops at both minimum and maximum ND positions. Often, the maximum setting does not have a stop.
.
I did see a distinct yellow color bias in my testing. It is slight enough that it will be easily compensated for in photo post-processing, but more problematic with video. There was a small amount of uneven gradation as can be seen in the deck floor. No significant X-pattern though at the extreme ND32 but some vignetting on my FZ300 at the widest, 25mm focal length. My sensor must be offset as the dark corners are only in the left corners. The clarity of the image was not noticeably affected by adding the ND filter. I initially thought the image of the rock in the creek was soft, but the camera had auto-focused on a different area between shots. I didn’t use manual focus! Other images do appear sharp, sharp for the FZ300's 1/2.3 sensor anyway.
The landscape photo was initially without the ND filter, just my UV and camera-metered exposure (f4, ISO 100, 1/160s). Then, I added the ND32 filter and retook the shot (f4, ISO 100, 1/20s). So, the ND filter is actually reducing 5 stops of light. 😊 To avoid the uneven shading, especially noticeable on images with little detail, you might have to dial back to 4 stops.
The creek images were taken at ND2 and ND32 in shutter priority, adjusting the speed to its slowest until the exposure was just accepted by the camera. At ND2, I was at f2.8, ISO 100, 1/500s. At ND32, I was at f8, ISO 100, 1/5sec. The FZ300 aperture range is f2.8 to F8, with a crop factor of about 5.4 and ISO 100 minimum. In this case, the uneven shading was imperceptible.
The creek was just a rippling stream, but the effect on the water is obvious. I would aim for a 2 or 3 second exposure time for a waterfall. In such bright, mid-afternoon conditions, ND32 is not enough to achieve the effect I need at that time of day. I’ve ordered a K&F Concept CPL/ND1000 combo kit to see how that works, either on their own or in combination with this variable ND filter. However, the ND2 to ND32 filter is going to work well in the evening. I will just have to crop out the vignetting.
.
My 52mm Lumix lens cap actually works on the filter, despite the actual need for a 55mm with the front end design of this 52mm filter. It's not a perfect fit, but it does stay in place.
NOTE: You cannot stack another filter in front of this VND filter - no thread! Another has to go behind first.
.
CONCLUSION:
.
I was half expecting to have to return this filter, based on some 1- and 2-Star reviews. However, it’s a keeper. It is well-made, works well, is 5 stops, but does show some uneven gradation at the extreme ND32. You might also get some vignette below 30mm focal length, especially if filter stacking.
This will be a useful addition to my camera accessories, primarily for mild light control in extreme sunshine. It just isn't quite strong enough for a good waterfall effect in mid-afternoon sun on a Panasonic Lumix FZ300.
I can certainly say this $50 variable ND filter is good value for general light control, if you can accept the yellow bias and the slightly uneven shading at the full ND32 in smooth scenes.

The pictures I've included with this review were both taken with my neewer S101-300W strobe lights.
(Photo f2.8) Head & Shoulder portrait zoomed in on Eye with Filter @ 5 stops on the K&F filter:
• f/2.8, 1/200 sec., ISO-100 shooting with a strobe light.
• Canon 77D w/Canon 70-200 f2.8 @ 80mm
(Photo f10) Head & Shoulder portrait zoomed in on Eye with no filter:
• f/10, 1/160 sec., ISO-100 shooting with a strobe light.
• Canon 77D w/Canon 70-200 f2.8 @ 115mm
The latch on the little round plastic box that came with the filter to protect it doesn't work very well. You have to push the button really hard and kind of use your fingernail to push the button to the side to get it to open. Kind of a pain but the product itself works really well and I'm very happy with it. It came super clean with no smudges or finger prints on the glass.

Like the fact that it is adjustable to whatever kind of photos I want to take depending on time of day and sun's position. I took a 2 second exposure shot of Niagara falls and it turned out well. I also added a still photo for comparison.
Will be doing more exposure shots I keep getting better every day after trial and error, must buy if you are into exposure photography you will not regret this purchase.

Pros:
-Packaging is quite nice
-Comes with a hard plastic carrying/storage case
-Has hard stops for the end ranges of the adjustable ND filter
-Threads onto lens nicely (Sony E mount Sigma 24-70mm F2.8)
-Built quality is pretty nice
-Relatively cheap when compared to other high end variable ND filters
Cons:
-Will most likely not be able to fit your lens hood over it. I shoot with a Sony a7iii and bought this for my Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 lens and I am unable to fit my lens hood over it (although it fits an 82mm lens thread, the overall widest diameter of the filter is ~89mm or ~3.5 inches)
-The filter does come with a hard plastic case, however is not a perfect/tight fit. I usually backpack with my camera and create a lot of movement, so the filter will bounce around in the case. Compare it to my Tiffen Circular Polarizer filer case (see attached image) and you can see that it is a tight fit and will not be bouncing around
Overall, my initial impression is that
I will update this review on image quality, as I have yet to take the filter out for a test shoot (I will mostly be using this for long exposure landscape photography)
