I needed to protect my FZ300's lens and this filter has some good reviews.
The overall quality seems very good and the packaging works well, if larger than needed. The filter threads on nicely without impairing the hood fitment, reverse-stowed, or deployed, and doesn’t show any vignetting at 25mm. There appears to be no noticeable impairment of the photo quality.
The glass does seem to attract dust and needed several cleanings before I could mount it on the camera without particles on the inside. The outside needs brushing off frequently.
I’ll update if I find any other issues in future, but this filter seems a good buy.

K&F makes some of the finest UV Filters for the price. The ring also includes groo

Perfect companion to my Fujifilm X100V and Hogue Lens Cover. The fact that it’s waterproof is a plus; this filter is an outstanding addition due to its WATERPROOF HIGH QUALITY UV FILTER QUALITIES.

I always protect my lenses with UV filters and when I purchased my 85mm F1.4 Samyang for astrophotography, I wanted a good quality filter that was affordable. I had previously purchased K&F filters and was happy with them so this made my decision easy. The 28 layer scratch resistant UV filter sounded perfect and when it arrived, I was keen to give it a try. I was most impressed with its performance.

I am usually against UV/haze filters as I am concerned about their effect on image quality. However, I plan to use my Sigma 150-600 DG DN Sport (Sony E-Mount) in pretty harsh conditions such as coastal bird photography, surf photography, and sports. So, I caved and purchased this filter to provide protection for the lens front element.
However, given that this K&F filter would probably be considered "mid-tier" in terms of price, I wanted to test if it in fact had any effect on image quality. The attached image of a $20 dollar bill was taken under the same exact circumstances - 600mm at ISO 100, tripod with OS off. As you can see from the screenshot taken in the compare view of my photo editing software, the image on the right (with filter) is clearly sharper with better contrast.
I'm shocked! I had fully expected to remove the filter when I wanted a better image. Now I can leave it on 100% of the time, and easily wipe off any splashes or dust without worrying about scratching the front element. Strong recommend!
