This does a great job of eliminating reflections and cutting down on glare while using my Nikon lenses. This filter is fantastic quality and I cannot recommend it enough!

This is a good quality filter that seems to have no impact on the image quality aside from its intended purpose of polarizing light. It rotates smoothly once attached to a lens to get the right polarization angle. The included case provides excellent protection though it's a bit on the bulky side. The fitted lens cap helps protect it once mounted to a lens. I'm not sure how the included strap is supposed to be used with the filter.

Having recently purchased a new lens to be used primarily for landscape work, I ordered this polarizing filter. In the past, I have purchased several K&F filters with no issues. What is nice about these reasonably priced filters is that they also serve to help protect the lens from damage. I have found with this filter and the other K&F filters I own, there have been no issues when threading them onto my lenses or being stuck when removing them. If you are looking to take some photos with bluer skies or reduced glare, this filter will do the job. Be patient though, the more you use this filter, the more you will appreciate the results. It was also a nice touch that a lens cap, lanyard and lens cloth were included. With these little extras, this could make for a nice gift, be it a birthday, Christmas, or simply wanting to help someone further their photography skills.

The K&F Concept 82mm Circular Polarizer Lens Filter is a fantastic addition to any photographer's kit. It greatly reduces glare and reflections, ensuring vivid colors and improved contrast in your shots. The build quality is solid, and the ultra-slim design avoids vignetting. While it's slightly more expensive than some alternatives, the multi-layer coatings make it worth the investment.

This is a really solid CPL filter. It does in fact have different levels of ND filtration and no noticeable vignette. As always K&F delivers with another solid product. The bonus to this one is that it hasn't been difficult to remove from the lens like many of the other filters I've tried from K&F. The only thing I wish this had was a knob to aid in turning the filter.

This is optically good and does what it says -- when you turn it, it acts like polarized sun glasses to filter reflections on water and overly bright sky so your film or photo image is more artistic. Well made, turns easily for adjusting.

like this polarizer, it reduces light by a couple stops on my Sony but its not as severe as i was anticipating for a $20 polarizer. Its pretty clear with very little distortion although i'm not putting it up against a test graph to be totally sure of its uniformity. I like that it includes a lens cap and a sealed microfiber cloth. One issue i've been having with this filter is that the threads bind a bit with my higher end B&W haze filter, I never test cheaper filters with my bear lens threads for this reason. I've also been having issues getting both the stock 72mm cap to fit as well as my own Sony 72mm cap so it must be something slightly off with the shape of the filter. All in all, it's really not a bad filter at all. For all I know, the issues i've been having may have been due to shipping although the filter seems to be in perfect condition.

CPL filters are a must-have for any photographer. These cut glare, intensify colors overall, especially of the blue sky, and make landscape images pop. This filter is well-made and does the job. The cap is a nice addition to the kit. Lens caps tend not to fit well on filters and are also easy to lose and spares are always welcome.

This is a quality filter and works well. It is made with the same quality and precision I have come to expect from K&F. It fits my Sony lens well, just like all the other K&F filters I own. This one is definitely worth trying out.

I'm quite happy with this circular polarizer. K&F is a reputable brand and so this works well on more expensive gear. My 82mm filter screwed on smoothly to one of my Canon 24-105 zooms. On first testing, it did well to reduce reflections. There may be slight vignetting at the corners, but I will need to confirm this with more extensive testing with landscape photos. I was impressed with the packaging. It came in a hard plastic case, with an extra lens cap (which I've never seen included with filters), and a vacuum-sealed polishing cloth. No complaints and I've used some pretty cheaply made filters in the past.
