This filter turned out to be better than I expected.The construction is very solid and the rings turn smoothly.I am very pleased with the results it gives but I would advice caution when using it on ultra wide lenses.All in all another winner from K&F!

K&F Concept 67mm Variable Fader ND2-ND32 ND Filter and CPL Circular Polarizing es un filtro muy versátil y de alta calidad que ofrece una serie de características útiles para los fotógrafos.
Lo primero que destaca de este filtro es su capacidad para ajustar la densidad de la luz que entra en la cámara, gracias a su rango variable de ND2 a ND32. Esto permite controlar la cantidad de luz que llega al sensor, lo que resulta especialmente útil en situaciones de alta luminosidad, como la fotografía en exteriores o en condiciones de iluminación intensa. Al ajustar la densidad, es posible obtener exposiciones más largas, lo que facilita la captura de efectos como el movimiento del agua o el desenfoque en fotografías de paisajes.
Además de la función de filtro de densidad neutra, este producto también incorpora un filtro polarizador circular (CPL). El filtro CPL ayuda a eliminar los reflejos no deseados y mejora los colores y el contraste en las imágenes. Es especialmente útil al fotografiar paisajes, donde puede realzar los tonos azules del cielo, reducir los reflejos en el agua y resaltar los detalles de las nubes.
En cuanto a la calidad de construcción, el filtro K&F Concept está fabricado con vidrio óptico de alta calidad que proporciona una excelente claridad y nitidez en las imágenes. El anillo de ajuste suave facilita el control de la densidad de forma precisa y sin esfuerzo, lo que permite realizar ajustes rápidos durante la toma de fotografías.
Es importante tener en cuenta que, al ser un filtro variable, puede haber una ligera degradación en la calidad de la imagen en los extremos más densos del rango. Sin embargo, en general, este filtro ofrece un rendimiento sólido y resultados satisfactorios.

Super happy with this purchase for the price you can get quality photos that will stand out from the rest.

I’ve been using this CPL/Density filter for about a month and it is amazing. I do Inventory Photos for a few Dealerships and it does great in harsh light and balancing/removing reflections.
As far as using it on Landscapes and Portraits, it really helps with toning down highlights to give some better control in the editing and deepens some other areas of color that you often lose.
Only down side is, that I’m unable to use my lens hood for “bump protection” because you can’t use the CPL with hood. Currently using this filter on a Tamron 24-70 G2

It is a variable ND filter and polarizer.
The ND is 5 steps, there are double, 10 steps (ND1000, 1024 to be exact).
The polarizing filter eliminates reflections of light on surfaces, cars, water, glass, and also reinforces the colors of the sky, leaves, asphalt, etc... (for more info search the internet)
Personally, I use it for video, so as not to lose depth of field by closing the diaphragm (f9 onwards, now I can go to f2.3 without burning the frames due to excess light). It's been a while since I took it off my 35mm, I'm delighted.
The filter is made of metal and glass, presented in a hard plastic case for storage. The protection and anti-reflection layers of a greenish color are appreciated and you can put your finger on it, which holds up quite well without staining.
The lever modifies the density of the filter, and the other ring moves the polarizing filter. You have to pay attention to this because it is possible that you inadvertently move both.
In the images you can see the filter attached to an adapter, (step-up 49mm to 67mm) this is so because I have 67 and 49 filters, my advice is to buy large filters and then "step-up" adapters.
About image quality. Well, excellent: there are no dominants, no chromatic aberration, no loss of definition or the terrible X of Gradual ND filters.
I have a very expensive polarizing filter and I hardly notice the difference over this one.
As a negative point, although I already said it, be careful when manipulating one of the rings so as not to move the opposite.
**If it has been useful to you, remember to vote positively in this way we will be helping each other.** :)

I purchased one of these filters to try it out because I was tired of stacking a fixed ND & a CPL filter.
I fell in love with the results & bought 4 more in various filter thread sizes so that all my lenses had one of these CPL+VND filters available without the need for a step up ring.
100% worth the investment for both photo & video of automobiles or really anything that would benefit from having this level of control over both your ND & CPL at the same time.
I use one of these filters for LITERALLY every single outdoor daytime shot not, EVERY SINGLE ONE WITHOUT FAIL.
Can't say enough good things about these filters for my line of work!!!
& yes, I paid out of pocket for all the filters, not sponsored.

Works great, has smooth action and kills two birds with one stone being able to spin and kill reflections. Only complaint is incompatibility with many lens hoods but oh well, better to reduce diffraction and hit your target than to eliminate diffraction and have to jump through hoops to get a decent shot.

We bought this 2-in-1 filter for a shoot that was shot outdoors. We encountered no problems filming at the water's edge with the glare of the sun. For the price it's excellent, the variable ND2 to ND32 filter is really sufficient for video. It is possible thanks to the filter to keep cinema look parameters on the camera, with a large aperture, a low iso and a nice bokeh. The filter is of good quality to the touch, we realize that it will not break after several screwing and unscrewing. The advantage of this filter also lies in the 2 small peaks, which make it possible to properly adjust the ND part of the filter. In short, if you want to buy a filter for your camera, we recommend it given its price. Really great!
