Thin, light weight, smooth operation, does the job without noticable degredation.
The CP filter is shipped in a nice plastic case with a lens cap and keeper. While I keep unused filters in a pouch, the cap comes in handy. I like to keep the cap on as an extra safety precaution. K&F also provides a microfiber cloth in the package.
The first thing I noticed was that the filter is thin and light weight. Visually, the threads appeared clean without any obvious imprefections. It threaded smoothly on to my 49 mm FujiFilm adaptor. Once in place, rotation of the polarizer was smooth with what I believe is a bit higher force than I would have liked. However, I find this preferable to a looser ring. Removal of the filter after use, as expected, was a bit more difficult, requiring a bit of force to start loosening it.
I drove to the coast on a sunny day and took a number of frames at various polarizer strength. When I got home I carefully inspected each photo and then compared them side by side. I may not be a professional but I am extremely critical of my work but could not find any unexpected changes in sharpness or color shifts.
In summary, nice filter at a great price.
