As the title suggests ... Excellent metal filter holder. Excellent packaging, K & f, proves to be a company that creates materials of excellent quality, no longer an alternative to the most famous filters, but of first order! Advisable

Excellent workmanship of the holder. Good rings for insertion on the lens, good workmanship. The ND1000 filter is really great, its particularly protective case. The only flaw, in my opinion, is the possibility of inserting only two plates instead of three as in other brands, but the Holder is really well done, it holds the plates of both K&C and other brands very well. The insertion is well forced and the protection for the plates is well done. I did not get vignetting with 24mm D.82 lenses or 15mm D.72 lenses. To this I add that I also put a slim polarizer behind the D.72 holder and a variable filter and then put the plates I did not get vignetting. Great product I recommend it.

The filter has the dimensions of 10x 10cm, weighs 47.5gr and is 2mm thick, so it matches the filter holder of the same company. It is made of anti-reflective glass and allows to eliminate the noise due to artificial lights (i.e. the yellow part that appears at the bottom in the photographs of the Milky Way, due to the artificial lights of the city). The difference without the filter is remarkable, in fact even with a good post production process, the artificial light remains, while with the filter it is completely cut off. In the case of long exposures for the Milky Way, the amount of light captured by the sensor decreases slightly but the raw output is rich in information and allows you to recover the Milky Way and all the starry sky. It is possible to remedy this (i.e. capture more light) by using a star tracker or by taking more shots (in my case, without star tracker, with a f2.8 at 11mm, the maximum time for not obtaining the movement of the stars is 30 seconds). Even in the city it does its job by eliminating that yellowish gradient in the sky and bringing out the beauty of the night lights.

I am super satisfied with the filter, does what it is supposed to do without changing the colour. I use it in a Rollei filter holder and it works without any problems.

Very high-quality 100mm x 100mm ND64 filter with a measured thickness of 1.85mm.
The images look very promising even with sharp fixed focal lengths - it's fun to shoot with. I can't see any reduction in quality from the filter.
The extremely beautiful and high-quality packaging should also be emphasized. Here you get an imitation leather case that is lined with fine fabric on the inside and has 2 magnetic buttons incorporated. This case is again in a nice padded cardboard box.
Haven't worked with ND filters before, but I don't know what I could complain about here. The price is also extremely fair in comparison. Therefore full marks and recommendation on my part.

I bought this kit: https://www.kentfaith.com/square-filters-basic-system/SKU.1601_kf-concept-square-nd1000-gnd8-metal-square-filter-holder-set
I paid on March 17th. It didn't take more than a week and the product was already with me. Surprised by the excellent quality, packaging. I didn’t hurt and tested the ND1000 filter because I wanted to see the silky water. Like, I think I'll buy more than one item.

Was undecided whether to buy this or another brand. For the same quality filters would have cost at least twice as much. My only gripe would the filter holder could be a little bit sturdier.

Far exceeds expectations. Quality of the packaging suits a much more expensive purchase. Visual quality ot the filter is equally first rate. Having used the filter in my filter holder I can see no evidence of colour cast or filter clarity issues. Overall I have only exceedingly good things to say about this supply. Will definitely be seeking out this manufacturer for future filter purchases.

After looking at competitors and trying brand names one, found these at the fraction of the price, without a compromise with quality. The entire user experience from delivery is exceptional. You are very much buying a high-end product without the overpriced name brand. I bought these to help with my landscape photography, and they work exceptionally well with my Sony A7iii. The camera practically sees at night, to get a long exposure without this filter was incredibly difficult I would often have a very split picture with the moon/sun being very bright on the top end and the everything below the sky in complete darkness. After using the graduated filter, any additional adjustments happened at a snap. The material feels very sturdy, although I don't plan on testing the limits, I do believe that it is scratch-resistant. Looking forward to sunsets come spring to test this out further.
