72mm CPL+MCUV+Lens Cap Circular Polarizing Filter MCUV Protection Lens Filters Kit with 28 Multi-Layer Coatings for Camera Lens Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: SKU.2264V1
This review is for:
K&F Concept 77MM UV Filter & CPL Polarising Filter HD Anti-Reflection 28 Layer Multi-Coated Slim MRC Optical Filter (Nano-X Series)
This is an impressive two-filter kit. Common to both filters, they:
- Offer excellent transparency
- No discernible anomalies in the glass
- Excellent image quality
- No coloration
- The low reflectivity coatings offer easy cleaning and scratch resistance
- The ring and threads are well formed
- Sufficiently thin form-factor, excellent for most applications including UWA
- Nice anodized finish
- Satisfactory knurling to aid installation and removal
- Hard cases
- Lens caps, lanyards and microfiber cloths add value
Additionally, the polarizing filter rotates well and polarizes effectively. Excellent.
Misses?
- There are no labels on the filter cases. I'll make my own labels as I don't like to carry boxes.
- The filter cases are a bit thick as they are designed to hold both a filter and a mounted lens cap.
Nothing major but worth noting.
The K&F products I have had over the years are generally well designed with excellent attention paid to detail. This two-filter kit is no exception. Worth considering. Recommended accordingly.

These are really good filters. I do a lot of Landscape/Birds photography and the glare from the sea always messes up the picture and lets not even start about the blue of the sky. I got these specifically for the CPL filter, but both filters are of the same series, so I subbed them both in.
I took a picture of some birds feeding by the sea, and it helped so much with the glare and the blues in the sky came out properly too. I must say I was very happy with that. Interestingly, you can just install the cpl filter over the uv filter, they thread perfectly.

My personal impression is that K&F has slowly become market leaders. In any case, I completely trust that I will get good quality here. The workmanship is impeccable. (However, I am only an amateur photographer and can't give you any comparative values to other filters.)
I really only see potential for improvement in packaging. The plastic boxes for the filters are unnecessarily large and always blank, so you have to work with an entire collection yourself if you want to know what's in it. It works better.
