46mm ND2-ND32 (1-5 Stop) Variable ND Filter and CPL Circular Polarizing Filter 2 in 1 No X Spot for Camera Lens Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.2050
These pictures were both shot with an 1.4 aperture in the middle of the day at a shutter speed of 400. Normally to use F1.4 during the day I essentially have to max out my shutter speed just to get something semi usable. And even then the exposure is usually blown out. But with my shutter speed not even half way maxed out I’ve got a completely usable photo that with room to further fine tune if needed. Plus I have the added benefit of having a polarizer lens so I won’t have to worry about reflections in that harsh lighting! Honestly get it. There’s no real reason not to.

It is a variable and polarizing ND filter. The ND is 5 steps, there are double, 10 steps (ND1000, 1024 to be exact). The polarizing filter eliminates light reflections on surfaces, cars, water, glass, also enhances the colors of the sky, leaves, asphalt, etc... (for more information search the Internet ) I personally use it for video, so as not to lose aperture-closing depth of field (f9 forward, now I can go to f2.3 without burning the frames due to excess light). I haven't removed it from my 35mm in a while, I'm delighted. The filter is made of metal and glass, presented in a rigid plastic case for storage. You can see the protective and anti-glare layers of a greenish color and you can put the dingle on it which holds quite well without staining. The lever changes the density of the filter and the other ring moves the polarizing filter. You have to be careful with this because you can move both carelessly. In the pictures you see the filter attached to an adapter, (step-up 49mm to 67mm) this is because I have 67 and 49 filters, my advice is to buy large filters then "step-up" adapters ". On image quality. Well, excellent: there are no casts, no chromatic aberration, no loss of definition or the terrible X of the ND gradual filters appear. I have a very expensive polarizing filter and barely notice the difference on it. As a negative point although I have already said it,

I've been using this CPL/Density filter for about a month and it's amazing. I do inventory photos for a few dealerships and it works great in harsh light and balancing/removing reflections. As for its use on landscapes and portraits, it really helps to tone down the highlights to give better editing control and to deepen other areas of color that you often lose. The only downside is that I can't use my sun visor for "shock protection" because you can't use powerline with sun visor. Currently using this filter on a Tamron 24-70 G2

I purchased this specifically for shooting landscape photos on a recent vacation. Photography is a hobby for me not a profession. I was very pleased with the outcome. Settings used for photo included in this review were: ISO 250; Exposure 1/13; Aperature f/18

K&F Concept 67mm Variable Fader ND2-ND32 ND Filter and CPL Circular Polarizing es un filtro muy versátil y de alta calidad que ofrece una serie de características útiles para los fotógrafos.
Lo primero que destaca de este filtro es su capacidad para ajustar la densidad de la luz que entra en la cámara, gracias a su rango variable de ND2 a ND32. Esto permite controlar la cantidad de luz que llega al sensor, lo que resulta especialmente útil en situaciones de alta luminosidad, como la fotografía en exteriores o en condiciones de iluminación intensa. Al ajustar la densidad, es posible obtener exposiciones más largas, lo que facilita la captura de efectos como el movimiento del agua o el desenfoque en fotografías de paisajes.
Además de la función de filtro de densidad neutra, este producto también incorpora un filtro polarizador circular (CPL). El filtro CPL ayuda a eliminar los reflejos no deseados y mejora los colores y el contraste en las imágenes. Es especialmente útil al fotografiar paisajes, donde puede realzar los tonos azules del cielo, reducir los reflejos en el agua y resaltar los detalles de las nubes.
En cuanto a la calidad de construcción, el filtro K&F Concept está fabricado con vidrio óptico de alta calidad que proporciona una excelente claridad y nitidez en las imágenes. El anillo de ajuste suave facilita el control de la densidad de forma precisa y sin esfuerzo, lo que permite realizar ajustes rápidos durante la toma de fotografías.
Es importante tener en cuenta que, al ser un filtro variable, puede haber una ligera degradación en la calidad de la imagen en los extremos más densos del rango. Sin embargo, en general, este filtro ofrece un rendimiento sólido y resultados satisfactorios.

As far as using it on Landscapes and Portraits, it really helps with toning down highlights to give some better control in the editing and deepens some other areas of color that you often lose.
Only down side is, that I’m unable to use my lens hood for “bump protection” because you can’t use the CPL with hood. Currently using this filter on a Tamron 24-70 G2
