This is for my Nikon Camera, received and test the lens filter, they work perfect, even if i won't use them often, great price for me! It's easy to use, and simply. I'm very happy with this purchase. :)

I am old enough to have learnt formerly photography the old way, having to juggle the relationship between film speed, shutter speed and aperture along with darkroom techniques and filter effects. Since I went digital however, (my current camera is a Nikon D3100 DSLR with two lenses (18mm-55mm and 55mm-200mm)), my photography has not really been quite as creative as in the old days, just more a matter of recording rather than much in the way of arty’ness.Now, thanks to the generosity of the nice people at K&F Concept, I received this set of filters to play with in return for an honest review. All have a standard 52mm double thread but, as with all filters, be careful stacking them as you will inevitably get some vignetting at shorter focal lengths.This set comprises:A simple UV filter / lens protector which, as far as I can tell is no different from the more expensive Hoya Pro item I generally have on both of my lenses.Three densities of neutral density filter. These are great when the camera is set for aperture priority to reduce the shutter speed, blurring any motion in the scene such as moving cars at dusk and waterfalls: real arty stuff and an amazing effect if you’re used to the usual frozen action created by the default camera settings. Having three to play with allows for plenty of bracketed exposures (yep, gone all old-school again…) to get exactly the desired effect. However, a tripod and using the self timer are essential to reduce camera shake.Three different graduated colour filters (grey, blue and orange). The blue is great for making the sky bluer than it really is (really useful in the UK!) and the orange is excellent for atmospheric dawn / dusk shots. The neutral density grey is brilliant for reducing the brightness of the sky to improve exposure, preventing under exposure of darker ground features.A flower petal lens hood which is handy for reducing flare when shooting towards the sun. It is not too bulky and works well but it makes getting the lens cap on and off a bit fiddly.Finally, a centre pinch lens cap. This is an advance on my Nikon equivalent as it has a loop and keeper to enable it to be attached to the camera strap – a vast improvement over putting the cap in your pocket and/or dropping it.The whole kit is rounded off with a neat & stylish velcro fixing case with elasticated webbing pockets and a handy microfibre cleaning cloth. If I’m being picky, I would like to have seen one or two of the neutral density filters replaced with a circular polariser and a starburst filter to provide a truly versatile general purpose kit, but, as it stands this set is an excellent introduction to the world of photographic filters to the budding photographer and occasional use amateur; good quality filters and excellent value for money.

It was delivered on time, Exactly how it was decribed. I attached the cap right away, it's so handy. Didn't try all the filters, but the orange and blue worked perfectly. I'm happy with this purchase.
