K&F Concept 77mm HD Soft GND8 Lens Filter 3 Stop (0.9) Soft Graduated Neutral Density Filter K&F Concept Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.1505
Bought this set for use on my Canon R5 II. All three filters work very well. Screw into lens with no issue. No visible loss of image quality even with professional level Canon lenses. Would highly recommend. Image shown using ND grad filter.

So if you have been purchasing K&F Concepts in 2021 you should be seeing a big difference in the quality of their products. I mean K&F has always been known for making budget gear that was "good enough". But in my onion now, they are actually pumping out high quality gear. This graduated ND is just another example of that.
I saw very little color cast. Yes, there was a bit there as you will get with just about any ND under $300 but it isn't strong and easily fixed. The glass is a nice quality and isn't a super dust magnet. The coating seems to provide a lot of resistance to glare. The coating also seems to make water bead up and quickly get out of the way which I wasn't expecting for a filter at this price point. Build quality is great and the threads are smooth and without any burrs which is something you will see often in super budget filters.
I can't wait to see more future products from K&F. I'm excited they are putting out quality products like this that don't cost an arm and a leg.

In addition to the Kiwifotos lens filter adapter for my Sony RX100 V, I bought this graduated neutral density filter from K&F Concept after having had very good experiences with other products. I keep reading that the filter can't be unscrewed. I can't confirm that. At least for the 52 mm size I ordered.
The practical test is convincing. It's not sunny at the moment, but clouds are often difficult to capture, even in heavily overcast weather. I hope you can look through the images in the correct order. For someone who knows what they're doing, it should be obvious: The third image is pure, without the filter. In the fourth, I tried to improve this image in RAW post-processing, and you can see that there are still some burnt-out areas. The first image is with the filter, and you can already see: The clouds are already more detailed. But the window frame also naturally darkens with it. The post-processing, which can be seen in the second image, requires more effort for a scene like this. But I think the result is impressive!
As with the other K&F filters, I didn't notice any color casts, vignettes, or anything similar.

The filter arrived today. I didn't want to spend a lot and I was very satisfied.
I often photograph landscapes and this filter makes a difference when it comes to the overexposed part of a photo.
I attach an example image.

This filter works great for portrait photography. It’s the second one I have purchased with great results on both lens’s

A smooth graduation providing high quality images. It's naturally dust repellent, so mounting a UV protection lens is not absolutely required. Great value.

Good value for the money and good quality. This saves me the money to buy more expensive filters.

Bought many filters. Some I just throw in the back of my camera bag. This one is Quality made. Came clean and clear, which is a rarity. People that say it is to small and can't get it off easy. Well that's just lake of experience with filters. It is stiff at spinning but to me, that is of quality. Most spin to easy and turn of your settings to easily. Worth the buy.

This lens has improved my outdoors nature photography significantly! My photos are much clearer, more detailed, and the colors are more crisp. It is easy to install and remove. The quality of this lens is really good. I haven’t had any scratches on it, nor have I used it in the rain yet. Either way I am impressed with the quality of this lens and would definitely recommend it!
