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 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!

This is my go to filter whenever I get a new lense or notice that an old filter is starting to degrade. Great value for money and sharp pictures.

K&F has made few versions of UV/1A filters and this one falls in the upper price range.
Packaging is superb and the glasss material is very good. I did not see any color degradations so far. Design on the metal rim offers ease of installation/removal unlike others which might require a filter wrench sometime. It might not be the best filter (price wise) but for C$30 it justifies money well spent to protect my glass which is already over half a grand. I trust this company's products and will purchase same again.
