82mm Variable ND Filter ND32-ND512 (5-9 Stops) Neutral Density Lens Filter with 28 Multi-Layer Coatings Hydrophobic/Scratch Resistant Nano-Xcel
SKU: KF01.1475
ND filters are essential for some types of photography, such as moving water effects - and which I suspect I exaggerate a bit .... And of course there are millions to buy and a wide range of costs. I have tried lots from super cheap kinesium resin to some decent quality and now this. First and foremost, it's optical glass. And it makes a difference because the type of resin, although not bad if you treat it with the utmost care, tends to scratch easily, and of course the optical quality no matter what the text says is nowhere near as good as decent glass. Secondly, it is very well made. I mean up there with the stupid prices well made that I have tried and used in a well known camera store. This is a real 100% first class set considering the production standard and the general feel of it. Smooth in action with perfect optical clarity across the density range. In use it is super easy. Fit - which is smooth given the well-made thread and then rotates the outer ring to the desired level of darkness. It saves a lot of nonsense with different filters or stacking them. Honestly, if you want a good selection of ND filters (not graduated of course), then this is a good choice. I used it on my Zeis Batis lens and it worked a treat.

A variable ND filter with the best value for money yet. Darker a high aperture compared to very expensive manufacturers. There are stops at the minimum and maximum, which I think is very good. Adjustment of the filter is done with a small resistance, which I also find advantageous, because unintentional adjustment does not happen so quickly with light touch. I have not been able to detect color fakes so far. Packaging very good and stylish. Everything perfect!

I've had variable filters before, but I've never been happy with the dreaded Xs on the screen when spinning or the uneven color cast across the screen, and they's great, very even light reduction across the frame and no Xs. I have the 77mm filter, it is very well made, 77mm so no vignetting in the corners, the small disadvantage with it is that I can not fit the filter with my hood, but no big deal. We recommend.

I use the filter both for filming with DSLR and for long exposure during the day with open blending, especially for filming it is quite nice with open blending. The ring can be easily snus. The sound should be picked up externally, because the ring clicks quietly in the intended positions.. The packaging is nice for transport and withstands the attacks of my 1 year old daughter. Bildekvaliteten ser bra ut. I could not see any color or other disturbances.I am very pleased with the ND filter.

I ordered this filter for my Canon 800d and it works like a charm. The packaging it came in gives you an idea of the product's premium execution. Since this is a variable Nd filter I can leave it on my lens as the filter does not have to be removed to get more light. I had high expectations for this filter while ordering, and the results are better than my expectations. The filter ring is very smooth and does not shake when shooting video. There were no dark spots on the sides of my images as I have experienced for some other filters, Prime delivery was very quick and the product arrived safely in one day. I would definitely try other K&F Concept products as the ND filter lives up to the claim.

The filter comes in a nice stylish packaging with magnetic lock and has a small plastic box for transport The filter can easily be peeled off and on the lens.The grey filter has different settings, on mine it takes about half an f-stop down in brightness, estimated to maximum setting 3-4 full f-stops. The best way to see the effect in backlight or strong contrasts in the subject, I look forward to testing the filter in the midday sun in summer.

As a photographer, I'm always looking for ways to save weight, and then save money. As a long-time Lee Filters user, I was skeptical about trading up to half the price of a product and always heard bad things about circular variable NDs. Man I was shocked at how good this product is. Really pleased and will be buying more.
