43mm CPL Filter 28 Layer Super Slim Circular Polarizing Filter Multi-coated Polarized MRC Filter Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.990
This worked surprisingly well, and the coatings seemed much more advanced than other filters I have used from Hoya, and more scratch proof than the B+W MRC from about 7 years ago.
I would purchase again, and am thinking of replacing protective filters for my other lenses in different diameters.

These K&F filters are fantastic filters at a great price! They are constructed with Japanese optical glass and are flawless. I have the UV, CPL and ND filters for all of my lenses from 52mm up through 82mm. At this price point and quality level it's easy to have sets for every size lens in my kit!

Edit: I received a full refund from K&F, no questions asked
The images I took were nice, the glass is pretty clear for the money. The filter is very difficult to turn, like they used extra heavy grease in the bearings; every once in a while it lets loose and will spin ~5 degrees with no resistance. It has gotten stuck in both my new Tamron 18-300 and the Tiffen filter I bought for it. Broke a filter wrenches getting it removed from each. The threads machining in the threads is rough, that combined with the molasses-in-a-Vermont winter they used to lube the CPL guarantees it will be very difficult to remove. I’m guessing I got one from the end of the thread cutter head’s life on a Friday afternoon or Monday morning. YMMV

I’m using occasionally on Nikon Z 24-70 and it fits my needs. I will say that like every circular polarizer I have used it tends to want to stick on the end of the lens. DO NOT over tighten or you will need a filter wrench. Otherwise, picture quality and polarization is pretty good. I’m using mainly to cut reflections on water.

Shot photos in Alaska for over a week. Polarizing filter worked great in a bright, snowy environment.

Didn't think about writing a review in the past year I have had it however I just had to order a new one, not due to malfunction because it performed spectacularly. My 85mm Sigma lens was sitting on my fireplace mantle (stupid) and a cat jumped up and knocked it off landing on the edge of the lens filter, the filter cracked but didn't shatter (shocking) and it protected the front of my lens perfectly. The filter wasn't stuck when I removed it either. Needless to say I just ordered a new one.

I had been wanting one for forever and saved up for it! I love using it for shots that involve water because it doesn’t show the reflection on water. That’s one of the main uses for a CPL filter, the other is to bring out color in the photos before editing. It does both great! I love it!

I use the filter on a Sigma 150=600 and a Nikon 200-500 for bird photos. I'm in Hawaii shooting around water. Great for saturation and reflections. Low profile. It forecloses using a hood. No biggie.
