52mm MCUV Lens Protection Filter with Filter Cap Ultra-Slim 24-Layer Coatings Waterproof for Camera Lens Nano-Dazzle Series

Not much to say here, except this filter is a winner for the price asked. The filter itself is lightweight with deep knurling between 2 to 4...and 8 to 10 (by clock positions). It comes with a hard case for storage, a cleaning cloth, a lens cap, and a lens cap strap. Everything you need to get going, it's a full set. If you need a UV filter, you can't go wrong here. Recommended.

generally don't like to put bargain filters on a $5000 camera/lens, but I wanted to give this level of K&F a try. First, I was struck by how thin and light this was compared to other filters I have. After shooting a couple dozen pics in various scenarios of light, dark, sunshine and shade, I was impressed with the fact that I could see no loss or glare that some bargain UV filters impart. They only want $30 for this one, and given how well it performed, I call that a bargain.

The K&F Concept 52mm MC UV lens protection filter does not have any image degradation and fits perfectly on my Canon lens. it comes well-protected with a lens cleaning cloth that can pinch the lens cover. It's great to finally have dust, scratch, and UV lens protection for my lens without any image quality problems at a very affordable price.

already have several products from K&F, and I must say I am starting to appreciate their line up of quality accessories. This filter was purely purchased to protect the front element of my expensive Sony 16-35mm Lens. I really like the attention to details, particularly of the bezel ring, with precisely machined ridges for better grip, and the inclusion of a lense cap and microfiber towel which will always come in handy. There is also a lanyard there for those who want to use it, I prefer to have nothing dangling from my camera during use. I am happy to report no vignetting at 16mm focal length, and the images/footages are sharp and crisp. The use of AGC glass tells me everything about the quality of this UV filter, and that is what you are paying for here. A cheap filter on Amazon costs an average of $10, without a lense cap. And a good lense cap costs around $10 as well. So this kit is actually great value and I highly recommend it!

The product comes with excellent packaging, externally well-finished and internally the filter is housed in a practical transport case. In the package we find: - filter - filter cap - wrist strap - vacuum-packed microfiber cloth I will not dwell on the technical specifications since they are already widely mentioned in the product description but, I will tell you about my experience of use and impressions. As soon as we open the package we immediately notice how the product is of excellent workmanship both for what concerns the metal outside the filter and the filter itself which has an excellent multicoating already clearly visible to the naked eye before trying it with the shot, the cap is also of excellent workmanship, very solid and with the presence of an eyelet to be able to attach a strap which is supplied together with a vacuum-packed microfiber cloth. I tested the filter with a Samyang autofocus 35mm f2.8 and it performed really well, during the day I did not have any particular Lens effects, in night situations you have some Lens effects but only in certain conditions of light angles. The loss of detail is very low and imperceptible on APS-C sensors while slightly perceptible on full-frame sensors especially when we go to crop in post production. In conclusion it is an excellent product also rich in accessories, my final evaluation is 5 stars

For a lens that is used all the time, like my SIGMA 17-50, I like to have it protected with a quality filter, and even better if it is thin, as is the case with this filter from K&S. This is a mid-range/high-end UV neutral filter, made with 24 layers of glass and mounted on a tight, very narrow metal frame. I like that the frame is not smooth, but has a wavy area to make screwing/unscrewing easier. The fit on the lens is perfect. The presentation is up to par, well protected in a rigid PVC box and inserted in a PVC casing so that it does not move around the box and fitted into its protective cover. A wide, comfortable adjustable strap is included, in the brand's orange colour, which makes it much easier to locate the cover or have it at hand. A microfibre cloth is also included to clean our lens well before placing the filter. In daily use I love it, no strange effects are seen as I have had with others. In conclusion, another quality product from K&S, in this case not in the mid/high range. I love it.

K&F Concept is probably a well-known name among many amateur photographers as a provider of high-quality yet affordable photo accessories. I have already been able to test a few of the brand's filters and was therefore all the more excited about the brand's UV filter. I actually only use UV filters to protect the glass of the lens. In order to reduce the deterioration of the lens' image quality as little as possible, it is very important that the glass of the UV filter is of the highest quality. This UV filter is absolutely color-neutral and nano-coated, so that water droplets run down the glass without leaving any residue. Even when looking closely, I cannot see any influence on the image quality. The UV filter therefore does exactly what I want it to do - protect the expensive lens without deteriorating the image quality.

I’ve been a fan of K&F Filters, and many of their other photographic products, for some time now, and have come to appreciate the consistency and the quality of the brand. The majority of my lenses live their lives with a K&F Concept UV protective filter on their front element. I have done enough testing of the transmittance and sharpness of K&F UV filters in the past that I now consider them a trusted brand; I feel confident in their quality. And that’s the point, right? In my opinion, they’re a trusted seller. I needed a protective filter for a 24mm – 70mm zoom lens I recently purchased; the ultra-slim frame of the MCUV filter is why it became of interest to me and the reason I ordered it. And for that reason, it worked out well; when the lens is set to its widest focal length, 24mm, the Ultra-Slim filter doesn’t infringe on the image area. Therefore, it doesn’t introduce any vignetting. UV filters have an efficacy when recording on film, even though some emulsions are/were formulated to be insensitive to UV light, but have little to no added benefit when capturing to a digital sensor. Modern digital sensors, unfiltered, record the entire spectrum of visible light, as well as portions of the spectrums of invisible infrared and ultraviolet light. In order to record only visible light, so photographs appear the way we see the world, digital camera manufacturers install what is called an IR Cut Hot Mirror filter over the digital sensor and its Bayer Array. Digital cameras sold without this filter are referred to as a “Full Spectrum Camera.” If you’re not sure if your camera is full spectrum, it’s not. Which means you don’t need to filter out UV light, the manufacturer has already taken care of that for you. In the case of my digital imaging, I use UV filters to protect the front element of expensive lenses. And in that respect, the K&F Concept MCUV Filter provides protection for expensive lenses without impacting camera settings or image quality, in effect providing inexpensive insurance. If by chance it does provide any extra UV filtering, that’s a bonus. The physical attributes of the filter are, without exaggeration, its near featherweight, along with facetted chines on its circumference, for grip. I use a 67mm – 62mm step down ring with the filter, and the threaded front of the filter provides plenty of depth for the secure attachment of the ring and consequently, the stacked filter to go with it. The K&F front lens cap provided with the filter is a match in quality, if not an improvement, to the OEM lens cap that came with the lens. The pinching levers are easy to use, firmly spring-loaded, and provide a firm grip to the filter or the lens. As I noted at the beginning, I’ve come to rely on the quality of K&F filters, and for the reasons that the seller asserts, but most importantly to me, the high quality of their AGC multi-coated, anti-reflective glass; AGC a Japanese company, is the largest manufacturer of glass in the world. Another reason I have confidence in K&F filters. The filter is supplied with a lens cap, a lanyard for the lens cap, a high-quality microfiber lens cleaning cloth and a plastic storage case. K&F Concept provides plenty of value for your money and they don’t cut corners.

This product was sent to me to review. Below is my own real-world experience of using it. It comes well-presented in the sturdy plastic case, which is ideal for both storing the filter, and keeping it free from scratches, should you need to keep in a camera bag, alongside other items. The filter itself has a solid construction, with glass that is clean and clear - not a mark to be found. The 72mm thread fit perfectly on my Sony A-mount kit lens, whilst I also found the included lens cap to be especially helpful (my lens did not previously have one). Having tested my camera with, and without the filter, I immediately noticed the difference - the filter greatly reduced the amount of ‘haze’ I could see, when pointing the camera at a particularly brightly-lit area (which was natural light coming in through a window). In the set, there is also a cleaning cloth and a lanyard to help keep the cap attached to the lens, which are handy, should you need them. In summary, a good value item.

don't like putting anything in front of the lens, but I like even less the possibility of damaging a lens that has cost me so much that, as I don't make a living from photography, I couldn't afford to buy it again. I tried a few "no-name" UV filters, but the quality of the filters is in line with the price and either the image lost some sharpness or the colours suffered, and sometimes both. I'm trying this K&F Concept MC UV with a Canon EF 24-105 f/4L lens and although so far I've only taken a few quick and poorly done test photos, I haven't noticed any of the aforementioned things like loss of sharpness or colours. I've posted some photos taken without changing any parameters, with and without a filter, and I hardly notice any difference between them. Between that and the fact that the cap can be put on with the filter screwed onto the lens, for now it's going to stay there.
