K&F Concept’s Magnetic Lens Filter Kit, which includes a UV filter, a circular polarizer, and a neutral density filter, along with an adapter ring, is a good concept that isn’t quite executed correctly.

The idea behind a magnetic lens filter kit is a good one, as it’s never fun to fumble around changing filters when you are trying to get a photo, especially if you are hiking and not in a position to lay down the camera on a clean surface and carefully remove and replace filters.

I tested this kit with the Nikkor Z 24mm-200mm lens, which takes 67mm filters, and removed the existing UV filter I had on the camera. The adapter screws on fine, but now with the K&F Concept adapter on the lens, the lens cap falls off easily. The situation improved slightly with the addition of the K&F circular polarizer on the adapter, but the cap still did not stay in place.

I even tried keeping my original UV filter on the lens, along with the adapter and then the circular polarizer, and the situation did improve a bit, but I don’t like having a double layer of glass in front of the lens element. I also tried the adapter with an F mount lens with a 67mm diameter, and the result was a little better as F mount lenses have different lens caps.

The filters themselves work well and seem to be of good quality. Included with this review is a photo taken with the circular polarizer. The filters themselves are very thin, which is perhaps why the lens cap does not stay on, and the movement of the circular polarizer is smooth. The filters come with a nice carrying case as well.

Bottom line, I like the concept of magnetic filters, but, at least with the Z mount 24mm-200mm lens, the adapter and filters are too shallow for the lens cap.
A Good Concept and Not So Good Execution

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

This is something that I never expected to see since I use DSLR and lenses.
Honestly now, it makes a massive difference.
I am not talking about the filters because you can find these any time, I am saying here about the system itself which I find to be absolutely brilliant!

►VERY IMPORTANT!!
You cannot attach all 3 filters at the same time!!
ONLY one by one so dont try to attach more because they might fall and you damage them

First I must say that I am a Vine reviewer and I received these B08T24T25S Professional Magnetic Lens Filters Kit free as part of the Vine program. The vine program was dev eloped to generate review of new products. This kit includes A UV filter a Circular Polarizer and a Neutral Density 1000 filter as well as a magnetic adapter ring. It all comes in a nice waterproof zip filter case. This is a really nice system, I remember back in the film days there was soothing similar but not as good as this, it was an adaptor with square filters you slide in and out, it was fine except for vignetting with wider lenses. This system is just as convenient but will have no problems with vignetting. It comes with a very slim ring adaptor and the magnetic filters. You can simply keep the ring adaptor on all the time on your preferred lens. It works really well and you can change filters in seconds. In this set you get a UV for cutting down some haze and for lens protection. A CPL great for scenics, reflections etc., and a ND for long exposures, this one is ten stops. This is a great set, I highly recommend.
