This is a great little UV lens magnetic kit. I've been transitioning over my lenses to the magnetic filters, and my last purchase was this UV set. This set is different from the others because the UV filter is the magnetic adapter. That is to say, the magnetic ring that screws into the filter threads and the UV filter, are one piece. To add a ND or circular Polarizer, say, you just stack it onto the UV filter, and it stays very well. I'm quite happy with this filter because besides the strong magnetics , the glass is easy to clean, one of my main requirements. It also seems compatible with my Kase Wolverine filters and my ICE filters, always a good thing. Lastly, the lens cap sticks magnetically really well. I'm very happy with this set because it also seems tough. One of the main reasons I used a UV filter is for protection, and I think this will protect the front element very well.

I have put this on my 50mm lens which has filter thread of 67mm. The filter seamlessly gets attached to the lens. The filter is UV filter which is magnetic, which allows me to put on other compatible ND or other filters on the top of the UV filter.
It also comes with a magnetic lens cap, which is lightweight and great. The product quality is excellent and the filter doesn't change the photo quality. The filter also protects the lens from dirt and scratches.

True story: I order a lot of lens caps because I lose them constantly. I've tried the little sticky straps and I lose them too. I have high hopes for this clever system. The UV filter, which seems like a solid filter, allows the magnetic lens cap to attach securely to the filter with a pleasing and reassuring SNAP. It isn't hard to remove the magnetic lens cap, but it does take some effort, which should keep the lens cap in place. I'm looking forward to taking this out on my next shoot.

I reviewed this product in June of 2023.
K&F Concepts is rapidly becoming my favorite filter brand for so many reasons. Here's another product that will help that potentially. While I know everyone is down on UV filters and hates on using them because the glass is "so bad" compared to the lenses on our cameras, this filter really looks amazing both in the hand and on the lenses I tried it on. Some key points:
1. The packaging and product presentation from K&F is always great, this is no exception.
2. The filter comes in various sizes, pick the one you need, I used the 82mm for this review to fit some of my Nikon Z lenses.
3. The filter screws into the threads easily and doesn't bind at all. It feels solid and well done.
4. The lens cap included snaps to the filter with a very satisfying click letting you know its in perfect position.
5. Now you can stack other magnetic filters onto your base UV filter to add more character to your shots if you so desire.
I noticed no reduction in image quality or light transmission when I used the filter. Easy one for me to recommend to anyone who would like a UV filter with some room to add on other filters. Great job K&F!

I looked at a lot of different magnetic filter systems, but ultimately decided on the K&F filters. It was a great decision. I would have purchased from their new Pro lineup, but they weren't available at the time (at least in magnetic form).
I keep one of these UV filters on each of my lenses permanently to protect them, so I attach them via the threads. It then becomes the magnetic base for my other K&F ND and CPL magnetic filters as well as the magnetic lens covers. All of the filters have threads, so they work either way. But when attaching a filter magnetically, the threads serve to keep the magnetically attached filters in place, which is great.
Stacking the magnetic filters works perfectly as well, as the magnets are strong enough to keep everything in place and stable.
All in all, these were far less expensive and yet more convenient than the other systems I looked at. I highly recommend them.

I lost my lens cap so I decided to go with the k&f system. I'm going to upgrade all my lens filters to this system. It's a little more expensive but not nearly the cost of competing brands.

One of the best magnetic uv filters to date. No color shift or vignetting.

I love it!!!! I got a step up adapter for my lens for this 77mm which is the size of the largest glass i've got. It's super nice to have just a magnet now and I can take it on and off. At least the cap you can with this product, I have another set of magnetic filters which work seamlessly with this product. The cap however can easily come off if you stack more of the magnet filters (which in my case are more K&F ones). Not a huge deal, the lens isn't very expensive and I don't really take it out in rugged environments. Overall can recommend for anyone looking to get into the magnetic filter ecosystem with something functional too.

It’s always been suuuuper annoying having to change filters especially when you on a shoot or on back to back shoots. It can get hectic but this definitely helps!
