I use this for videography and I got a flip up filter mount on my lens, this stays on my lens always during the day. Let's you get so much more background bokeh, looks beautiful. Vignetting around edges is not visible on 50mm lens, but you can see it on a 16mm lens. So don't use on a super wide lens cranked up all the way!

Shooting in the Zambian bush last week, this filter took a beating and survived sand, river water, tree branches, as well as a sugary beverage spill.

52mm ND2-ND32 (1-5 Stop) Variable ND Filter and CPL Circular Polarizing Filter 2 in 1 for Camera Lens. What can I say about it? Exceptional. Having the ability to simultaneously adjust the ND filter and polarization without swapping out filters is super convenient. Quick adjustments can make a big difference in whether you get that perfect shot or video pan in the moment. I have a Sony ZV-1 with a 52mm adapter for lens and it seamlessly and smoothly threads on without issue. Although my camera come with a build in ND filter. The K&F takes it even further by along more control of how much light my camera takes in. The polarization aspect of the K&F further expanses on the quality of the picture. Overall, I’m extremely happy with this product.

If you are looking to get into car photography or are already in it, this is a must! The build quality is 10/10 and the image quality stays the same. Yes their might be a tiny change but unless you are a pixel peeper you won't notice the difference. It's nice to change, and eliminate the glare of the sun on cars that are on the body but also the windshield. The only thing that is slightly annoying is when I move the ND it sometimes moves the cpl slider and can change and image so be aware. But over all if taking pictures of car I set the ND first, then rotate the cpl filter. I usually leave this filter on all the time no matter what I shoot since it really does not affect the image quality, and have the ND set to Min. I highly recommend!

Definitely worth the price. The highlight of the filter is the manual adjustment for the amount of light that comes in.

Very nice to be able to adjust both the ND and CPL from one filter. You do need to be careful though as adjusting the ND Filter can also accidentally turn the filter, unintentionally adjusting the CPL.
Works great on my Panasonic GH6!

The K&F Concept 72mm Variable Fader ND Filter and CPL Circular Polarizing Filter is a must-have for any photographer or videographer. Convenience of 2 filters in 1. Works well, easy to use, and can be used in many shooting situations. Two Thumbs Up.

I wanted to slow down my shutter speeds to smooth out lake water etc. I assumed (incorrectly) that the fader and the polarizer portions wouldn't affect each other, but that's incorrect.
Once one sets the ND fader to its most dense (32) no matter how you turn the outside ring, (which affects the polarizer,) you will have dark areas somewhere in the frame. This only goes away around 30mm, which is how most polarizers work, and I was aware of. I had assumed I could just have it "not working" while I used the ND properties.
So if you want to use this, it is pretty much useless below 30mm as you'll get dark spots. Note the top two corners of my example plus the lower left corner. If I turn the polarizer (front ring) those spots just move to other spots. I should have bought a set of ND screw-on filters instead for my purposes. Unfortunately, there is no documentation or information anywhere on K&F site or reviews that would have alerted me to this drawback.
