K&F now also in the high class segment, first class optical quality but also very expensive
I've known K&F for a while now and have one or two of their products (UV filters and camera backpacks). For me, the brand was always technically good for price and performance and was more in the middle price segment.
But now they want to know and are moving into the high class area.

An ND filter reduces the incoming light. With this variable from ND2 to ND32. This makes it ideal for long exposures and to “artificially” extend them. Beautiful, soft gradients can be achieved, especially with moving processes such as rivers, waterfalls, road traffic and others.

The filter comes beautifully packaged and is really fun to unpack. Anyone who loves unboxing will really enjoy it here.
The filter comes in a fabric/leather bag. Very nice in itself, but in my opinion a filter fits better in the familiar plastic caskets.
The inside of the packaging can be converted into a “picture frame”. Funny idea but I think there are nicer ones.

But let's get to the filter itself. Here I have to say that the performance matches the price. Fine workmanship, both on the filter thread, ring and the glass.
The filter can be easily and easily opened and removed again, which is no comparison to cheap filters.
The glass is of the best quality and its optical performance cannot be distinguished from other ND filters from well-known competitors.
This means you have even darkening across the entire image and levels without any loss of quality or any color casts.

All in all, a very good filter in terms of its quality and optical performance. Its weak point is the slightly loose fixation in the storage bag.

What I personally miss are notches so that you know where you are.
I'm a bit conflicted about the price. The quality of the filter corresponds to the price, but I don't know whether I would buy it. Because for that price you can buy a rectangular filter with a suspension and the corresponding filter.
I also find the range from ND2 to ND32 to be a bit unfavorable as it is quite small. But that is my personal opinion and of course always depends on the user.
