Excellent Filter - What a Creative Company!
K&F Concept is really impressing me! They continue to bring out high quality and innovative products for the film/photography industries.
This is a report on their current UV filter - which I have on a Canon 85mm f1.4 lens. Now, I am not a lens expert, except to say that I have been working in stills and video for about fifty years. (Yeah, that's "50" - no mistake) The glass looks beautiful. Flawless. No issues at all, and zero faults.
So, how did K&F Concept knock this one out of the park? The machined two edges of the filter ring with a real "dog tooth" design. Talk about easy to grip and rotate! Why has it takes so long for someone to figure that out? Now, maybe, this is being done all the time, as I am dozens of filters from years ago. I am not purchasing new filters these days. But if no one else is doing this, K&F Concept needs some long-due credit!
And a word about UV filters. Yes, sometimes they can help. High altitude work. Snow in bright sunlight. But mostly for protection. For example, I was standing in a non-public area along on short straight away, as the cars ripped past me. I kept getting hit by something. Couldn't figure it out. Finally realized it was rubber coming off the tires at speed. So, yeah, a UV filter was a good idea. But if you are shooting inside in a controlled environment, take it off. You don't need extra glass between your subject and the lens.
Bottom Line - I don't think you will fine better quality than K&F Concept UV filters. Amazing filter right with grips, packaged with a cleaning cloth and a short strap to hold onto the filter case. An impressive company!
