..., that's the best way to describe the filter.

I've been taking pictures myself for over 15 years and professionally too. I already had one or the other filter in my hands privately for landscape (polarization filter, ND filter, graduated filter), but I usually didn't spend more than 50-80 € on it. It simply wasn't worth more to me. I was able to request this ND1000 here for testing and I was quite shocked by the price. 200€ for a 77mm ND filter, I was curious what to expect.

Positive:

- I was already surprised by the packaging. It comes in a kind of cardboard box, which then contains the leather case, a microfiber cloth and the filter. Even then everything looked very high-quality. As for the packaging, I have to say that K&F has come up with something great. In fact, you can convert the packaging into a picture frame. Instructions and material are included. I think that's a great idea. Although only a square photo fits in, I still think it was well thought through.
- The leather case is also of high quality and protects the filter perfectly.
- The filter itself is well made. It is easy to screw into the filter thread, has special spots on the outside edge for more grip and fits perfectly.
- I couldn't find any vignetting during testing because the edge of the filter is very thin.
- I can't fault anything else with the imaging performance, but I couldn't fault anything about my previous cheaper filters either.

Negative:

- The included microfiber cloth could have been saved. Unfortunately, this does not match the high-quality rest. It is so thin that you can look through it.

The filter is not cheap, but it is made of really high quality. I can recommend him.
