The glass is clean and clear. Ring feels like it's machined perfectly. It installs perfectly on to the lens.

I was impressed with everything that was included with this pair of lens filters. Each filter comes in a foam-lined plastic case and with its own lens cap. There’s a wrist strap for each plastic case and there were three microfiber cleaning clothes included. The filters threaded right into my Olympus M.Zuiko lens. I included some pictures taken with no filter, with the UV filter, and with the polarizing (CPL) filter in two orientations 90º apart - indicated with “—” and “|”. I set the camera to AUTO and included the settings it decided on. I noticed some subtle improvements in the filtered photos over the one taken with no filter, with the polarizing filter looking a little better than the UV filter. I’m looking forward to finding the best uses for both filters.

First and foremost, it's important to note that this filter set is multi-coated (I can tell by tilting it in the light) and it does not have a color cast when editing WOOOHOOO (this is probably the best news as cheaper filters will tint your photos.
The filters fit the threads perfectly without any issues, they appear to be a quality glass, I haven't perceived any loss of sharpness or other details. The CPF does great at reducing water and windshield glare.
Overall this is miles ahead similarly priced brands, and I would say maybe compete with the $100+ brands (if only the housing were made of brass).

I've recently had the opportunity to try out several K&F filters and for the price they are, I think the quality is excellent.
There are probably filters from other brands that are much better but the prices will also be in line with that quality and as I am only an occasional hobbyist and I don't make a living with photography, I don't see the need to invest in more expensive filters when these K&F filters give me such good results.
The UV filter doesn't seem to cause any loss of sharpness or changes in tone. It's not that I've made thousands of comparisons between photos with and without the filter, but in the basic tests I did on them when I received them I couldn't see anything unusual. For now, this filter stays fixed on the lens to protect it from scratches.
The CPL filter does its job perfectly. It has a very smooth rotation so you can adjust it to the needs of each occasion and it eliminates almost all reflections.
Both filters can be used at the same time, which makes it very convenient as you don't have to remove the UV when you want to use the CPL.
The price of the pack seems very good to me if you don't have either of the two filters yet. If you already have one of the two, it will probably be more cost effective to buy the other filter separately.

Pair of 49mm filters that cover practically 99.9% of the needs of a lens, even of great sharpness.
The ND filter is a simple object from a construction point of view, but the glass is of excellent quality. There is practically no difference in sharpness, while you can see a slight advantage in terms of contrast where there is direct light on the front lens. It is basically mostly a protection for the lens, without any degradation of image.
The Polarizing filter is already more complex: from a construction point of view the rotation friction is just right, not too rigid but not even allowing accidental rotations.
it is certainly of the circular type because it does not introduce delays in automatic focusing.
The degree of filtration, although very difficult to measure, I find to be high, so much so that it is advisable to expose with at least one automatic to simplify the exposure. The selection of incident/reflected light is very decisive, you can see it even with a pair of simple bulbs (see photos).
Also included are a pair of caps and a strap, as well as two boxes to store the filters and some cleaning cloths.
Very complete kit, once you get it you have practically solved all the needs on the 49mm
Recommended, excellent quality of both glasses

I like K&F products. The glass is very good and does not decrease the images' quality. I have used the UV filter on my new 24-105 USM lens and will always protect it. The CPL lens is also useful for blocking unwanted reflections. 2 cleaning clothes are included.

I wanted a polarizing filter specifically for the 72mm filter thread on my Nikon 24-70mm F4 Z lens. This is a very good polarizing filter and I don’t have any problems with color casts or poor quality glass. If you also want a UV filter to protect the front element of your lens or you shoot film then this is a very well priced set for the quality. But, the lens caps are useless. The lens caps do not stay on the lens and because the polarizing filter has very short threads it falls off just from shaking the camera. This set comes with two lens caps and both of them are useless. Buy this set because it’s a good price for a UV and Circular polarizer. I could be more harsh because the lens caps are going in the trash, but they are good filters at this price.

Another high-quality filter set from K&F. I own filters, bags, stands, ball heads and lights from K&F. All are of excellent quality. This kit provides both a UV and CPL filter in the same kit. I typically like to keep a UV on my lens to protect against dust and scratches. The fact that this kit includes a CPL is a bonus. I am looking at this exact kit for another lens I own.

I've been using these for various photography. The UV filter lives on my lense to protect the front element in the field and has nice transparency. The CPL filter works, and has very smooth rotation allowing adjustment to the right angle to get rid of the desired glare. I've used this on the water to take photos of fish, and it has worked well.
My only gripe is that the cases for storage are relatively large, and take up a lot of space in my camera bag. While this isn't an issue for the UV filter (since I just leave it on the camera), the CPL filter needs to be stored when no tin use.

A circular polarizer is a must have for any landscape photographer. Will make clouds pop, remove reflections in glass or water. The UV filter is really just to protect the front element of your expensive lens from scratched or accidental hits.
These are very nice quality filters. They are smooth and with no real color cast that I can notice.
They even come with nice Lens caps.
