K&F Concept 82mm Variable Fader ND2-ND32 ND Filter and CPL Circular Polarizing Filter 2 in 1 for Camera Lens No X Spot Waterproof Scratch Resistant (Nano-X Series)

Another well designed and implemented filter. Perfectly fit the bill and does what is advertised.Box for carrying the filter is nicely crafted as well.And, microfiber cloths are well appreciated.

Since I started doing long exposures , my variable ND filter of choice was Vivitar. It's worked great over the years but I was in need of a new filter.Since I also own a K&F Concept tripod, and they've treated me well, I decided to give this filter a try. What could be cooler than an ND filter and a circular polarizer in one?! And I'm glad that I did!This filter works incredibly well. With my old ND filter, I had to stack a separate circular polarizer on top which would lead to vignetting on my widest shots. With the K&F Concept 2-in-1 filter, that no longer appears to be a concern at 18mm. At 10mm, I've noticed a very slight vignetting which is almost unnoticeable. But, it's definitely a huge improvement over filter stacking.While it may require 2 hands, this filter is very easy to adjust. It also feels well built and sturdy.All in all, this filter was well worth the money invested.

Great addition to my camera. No need to put two filters. Only one filter will now cater both my need for CPL and ND.

I’ve used this filter extensively for the last 6 months and can say that this is a fantastic budget option for those needing filters.I will say that during my use I have encountered a subtle vignette when using telephoto lenses at their minimum focal range(I had to purchase step up filter rings so it is technically not supposed to be used in this way), but on the lens filter size it was designed for it had no such issue.During a nighttime photo shoot in the city I hadn’t properly secured the camera to my tripod and it fell about 5ft lens filter first. It survived with only a dent in the metal housing and some paint chipped off. It retains full functionality and saved my 700$ lens it was threaded onto. Just for that it deserves the stars.

Works as described, love that I can adjust this filter from light to dark easily. bought another one for another size lens love them.

This thing is massive, and I am not talking about the lens.I bought this for my Canon RF 28-70 F/2 and it fits like a glove. A little larger than I expected. I mainly use this lens for outdoor and needed something to make my images more sharper. Highly recommend. I am not able to add my hood or lens cap for this while shooting but it’s expected. I don’t mind taking it on and off after every shoot.Mainly use it for outdoor.

Very Good

Certainly some pros and cons to this VND.Pros:-Cheaper than some high end ones for people like me on a budget. I would love to have a $350 Peter McKinnon one but that’s not financially within reach. Great to have an option like this one.-Works fairly well through most of its ND stops. No shadowing or X unless you go all the way dark. I’ll get into that in the cons but it does work decently until you need a really dark filter level.Cons:-My adjustment ring seems to slip. Sometimes it goes smooth and slow and other times it feels like it’s just two pieces of metal scraping together. It actually makes a scraping noise. No rhyme or reason to when it does this.-The whole front ring rotates freely so when you are trying to adjust your ND level sometimes just the front ring will spin and not the VND part of it. Then it requires two hands to turn. One to hold the ring in place and the other to turn your dial. It slows me down which is never good when doing client work.-Seems to scratch easy. I admit I’m not easy on my gear but mine already has tiny little scratches on the front glass element and I’ve been trying to baby it. I’ve only had ir a couple months but if it continues to scratch easily it will be rendered useless way quicker than I’d hoped.-In really bright situations when you need to really darken up the image you get a pretty uneven dark spot. Mine is in the top left corner usually. It can be adjusted in post processing but that’s a lot of work when you’re shooting a full day and editing a few hundred photos. I also shoot more video than photo and it’s even more of a pain to correct for video.I honestly wish I had sprung for a nicer one. I’m gonna have to replace this soon. I bought it right before a larger client project. I didn’t get to use it very much and realize I was dissatisfied before I had to have it for the project. I would have returned it probably but I needed something and didn’t have time to return it before the project. By the time it was over I missed my return window. So now I’m out the $100 (82mm version) and probably will go with a better one once I can afford another.
