My circular filter kit for each lens size includes a protective UV, a CPL and ND 10 and 6 stop. The K&F kits contain all but the 6 stop. The 6 stop can be ordered separately, though at this time only from the manufacturer's website.

For any given size kit, the K&F Concept magnetic kit costs far far less than would top line individual threaded filters from other manufacturers (Breakthrough Photography, B+W, Hoya HD3, etc.). Yet the optical qualities of these K&F have been tested and are equal to the best. My own experience is that the K&F coatings are also just as effective at repelling water droplets as are my most expensive filters.

Having used K&F Concept magnetic filters in two sizes for a few months I am loving the speed of filter changes and the absence of thread jamming when I stack an ND on a CPL.

My only criticism is the lack of knurling on the front edge of the CPL frame. Magnetic CPL filters do not need or have a two piece construction. The entire filter is rotated in its magnetic attachment, which is fine but remains a two-finger grasping maneuver. To rotate the CPL you'll need to temporarily remove the lens hood. Maybe had K&F added knurling to the from edge a fingertip would suffice, but there is more friction opposing rotation than in a well made two piece threaded CPL. Off course you could attached your old threaded CPL to the lens, screw the open ring magnetic adapter onto the CPL, then add your NDs magnetically. You'd risk jamming the adapter ring to the front threads of your old CPL. I'm not going to do this.

The protective UV is only meant to be attached directly to the lens threads. It is a lens protector. It does not magnetically attach atop the other filters or the open adapter ring. You are give two threaded adapters, one is just an open magnetized frame. The other has the protective glass. The CPL or ND can be clicked onto this protective filter, but not the other way around. My advice is to use the protective UV when facing blowing sand or salt laden ocean mist (and when shooting from a Russian reindeer sleigh where showered by flying feces).

The included pouch is well made and easy to use. If you buy kits in multiple sizes you can even combine them into one pouch by storing the filters magnetically stacked and assigning each compartment of one pouch to a different diameter.

There is nothing to dislike about these filters. The Magnetic Feature just makes it so easy to go from filter to filter as needed. It works exactly as a photographer would expect them to and works as advertised on the Amazon Website. Please note that the mounting ring has to be removed to reverse the lens hood for storage (it will fit in the normal use direction with the ring on), and the lens standard cap will not fit. But in reality, this should not be a problem for the seasoned photographer who knows how to stow the lens components.

It’s a great set of mag filters, and they are relatively budget friendly too comparing to most competitors like Kase, Haida or manfrotto. The magnets are pretty strong and the stacking mechanism is a joy to use. Keeps the package slim and works way better than magnetic filter rings from competitors.

One big complaint, is that the filter kit doesn’t come with a magnetic lens cap. The filters themselves are really shallow and won’t hold a clip-style standard lens cap. So without a magnetic cap I won’t be able to cover my lens. Had to purchase a separate magnetic cap from Haida to use with this set of filters……

had been wanting to try a magnetic filter system for a while so I'm glad I got my hands on these. All the magnets work well and it's easy to screw on the adapter onto your lens. I personally only really use the ND filter, but the other 2 filters could stack on no problem and without any degrading in image quality or color.

I was able to look closely at high resolution RAW files of photos I took using the ND filter and they looked extremely clean. The little carrying case is a nice touch as well.

One suggestion is maybe adding a 6 stop ND filter to the set. There were a couple times where the 10 stop was just a little too much light blocking for me.

I would definitely recommend this to most photographers as a great and easy all around filter system

I am very pleased with this system and the quality of the filter lenses. It is wonderful for very quick changing of filters. Unfortunately I accidentally lost the ND filter the first time I went out and did not realise it until I was back home. My friend had zipped the bag they come in, and I, thinking it was still open and more concentrated on trying the one on the camera. unzipped it. So during my wanderings, the ND fell out. I did eventually manage to replace it, and received a magnetic lens protective cover as part of the order. I am made up now. I do recommend this system and it has the filters that I use, perfect.

This is a kit,the combinations to use CPL and ND1000 can be:
-Adapter+CPL, Adapter+ND1000 or Adapter + CPL + ND1000.
-UV Filter + CPL, UV Filter + ND1000, UV Filter + CPL + ND1000, UV Filter+CPL+ND1000

Comes in a padded case with a reverse zip to prevent any water from getting inside in case of rain. It can be clipped on the belt or anywhere else for comfortable use or transport.

As far as image quality is concerned I have few complaints, I haven't noticed any loss of sharpness or colour cast. I have been able to use both the UV+CPL+ND1000 up to 12mm on my APSC camera without vignetting.

I needed a more travel friendly set of filters to take with me on my hikes that would be too cumbersome to use my square ones. Having these filters in it's own soft pouch was perfect and it didn't take up much room in my camera cube. The magnets were strong as they held on while I was setting up my composition - sometimes in the rain and while on uneven ground.

All 3 filters for me are very useful. The stand-alone ring however, I'm wasn't sure how much I'll actually use it but surprisingly I just leave it on my lens unless it's pretty bad weather, which in turn I use the UV filter as a protective layer for the glass.The CPL filter works wonders and the ND filter is great for long exposer shots. the combination with the magnetic touch make this absolutely flawless. would recommend

I really like the convenience of this magnetic filter system. You only need to thread on the base ring and magnets do the rest. Makes it less likely to damage the threads of your lens if you don't have to keep putting on and removing a filter on every time you need to use it. I am using this with a 24-105mm full-frame lens and the base ring works with the lens cap and the hood although you probably need to remove the hood to snap on the filter because otherwise your fingers get in the way.
Each of the filters themselves are quite a bit heavier than the screw on K&F versions, probably because they need to make the filter ring out of a magnetic steel instead of aluminum. Whatever the reason, they feel a lot more premium than the regular K&F version.
In terms of performance, its a bit of a mixed bag. I don't have tremendous experience using CPL and ND filters (this is my first set) so I don't know what's considered good performance at a given price range.

Moving on, the CPL filter (photos looking out the window) has similar vignette to the ND filter at 24mm but appears to cut down quite a bit of reflections in my windows. Not much for me to point our here, it seems to do the job.
The set does come with a UV filter but I do not intend to use it unless I am in a rainy/dusty environment where my lens needs a bit more protection so I haven't tested it out yet.
For both the ND and the CPL filter, I did not detect any noticeable decrease in sharpness caused by using the filters.
I think the performance of these filters is acceptable. I am a little disappointed with the vignette but I have heard of much more expensive filters having similar issues so I don't want to be too hard on this set. All in all, for someone like me who does this for fun, I think its a great system to learn the basics until I can justify the move to something more premium.
