The K&F Concept 82mm ND4-64 (2-6 Stops) ND Lens Filter Variable & CPL Polarizers Filter 2-in-1, 28 Multi-Coated Circular Polarizing and Neutral Density Camera Lens Filter:
This is a super cool idea that was bound to happen sooner or later, and I’m glad K&F was the one to do it. I have come to really like their filters. I have their standard vari ND, super nice with little to no color shift, and their CP, again super well made and little to no color change. This is equally well made and comes in a similar leather filter wallet. Super high quality materials and coatings. Basically how this works is one ring controls the vari ND, and the other ring controls the CP. the CP range is greater than the ND range however, they work together to give you more ND range. It works well, and truly gives you a large range of change. The trade off is a bit of color shift here and there. I have found this to be common with almost every vari ND on the market with only a few exceptions, this rates among the better ones. I was truly impressed at how good the color rendition was on the standard vari ND. This is not a ding, it is a limitation of how they do variable ND. To find one that has no color shift is rare. If this is important to you I recommend their other model. This is a great two for one, and is very effective and well made. If you only want to throw one filter in your bag this is a great option. K&F are doing top quality work and I really like their products. This one is innovative and convenient, with a small trade off, that you may end up with from most other brands anyway. So don’t let that scare you, however it’s gonna bother you, get their other vari ND model, which is truly impressive and I would put against the best in the business. Overall I have become a big fan of this company and their quality and innovation. I recommend trying out this unique filter as well as their other filters. They are not cheap, but why would you put a cheap filter in front of you expensive lens. With glass you get what you pay for and K&F is worth the money.

I recently ordered the K&F Concept 62mm ND Lens Filter for my photography needs and have been extremely impressed with its performance. The 28 multi-coated circular polarizing and neutral density filter is a game changer, allowing me to capture high-quality images with greater control over the lighting.
One of the things I love most about this lens filter is its versatility. The 2-6 stop range allows me to adjust the exposure as needed, and the polarizing effect helps to reduce reflections and increase contrast. The 62mm size is also a great fit for my lens and the multi-coated design helps to reduce any flare or ghosting.
In terms of build quality, the filter is well made and feels sturdy in my hand. It's also easy to install and remove, making it a breeze to switch out as needed. The included carrying case is a nice touch and helps to keep the filter safe and protected when not in use.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the K&F Concept 62mm ND4-64 (2-6 Stops) ND Lens Filter Variable & CPL Polarizers Filter 2-in-1 and would highly recommend it to other photographers. It's a high-quality and versatile addition to any camera setup.

Wirklich hervorragende Verarbeitungsqualität. Es erweist sich als robust, mit hervorragenden Materialien. Super empfehlenswert, auch weil ein CPL in Combo mit einem variablen ND zu diesem Preis wirklich erschwinglich ist.

The CPL+ND filter is very good for reducing the light sensitivity of the camera, making long exposure shots easier. I cannot perceive the cross shadows mentioned in some reviews at any of the filter's settings. I use the filter on a Nikon D5100. Water and glass reflections are easily removed by simply rotating the filter.

This was one of the best purchases I've made recently and I have no hesitation in recommending it, especially to travel photographers who advocate taking as little camera gear as possible. Filters are one of the accessory sets I always have with me, as they are essential for my landscape photography.
My first impression of the filters was the beautiful packaging they arrive in. They come in a hard cardboard box, with the filter itself housed in a hard plastic sleeve inside the box. The frames of all the filters, with the exception of the circular polarizing filter, are made of aluminum alloy. Although very slim in design, they certainly feel rigid without really bending, even when forced.
The glass itself on all filters is coated optical glass (to reduce reflections), which is waterproof and scratch resistant. Overall, all of the filters performed very well.
With the CPL, you can see a boost in the blue in the sky. There is a very slight vignette in the upper left corner, but it is so slight that it can be easily removed in post-production, as you can already see in my images.
The ND filter worked very well, with no color casts or vignetting. There is no unwanted X effect.
In summary, the image quality is excellent and the added benefit of using only one filter and adjusting the gradient without having to stack filters is really useful. Overall, the see, feel and last these filters are top notch, but are also affordable.

Great piece for landscape photography. Variable ND without "shadow cross", clean in both areas. Polarizing filter goes great, and if it does get too bright you'll love the ND, stepless control. Used on FZ200.
