Outer filter thread not same size!
So, the ND filter itself seems good quality. I got this for my old 35mm film camera and my vintage lenses which have a lot of 49mm outer threads, but looks like I’ll be looking elsewhere.
I have other K&F filters which I like and work well, but I can’t for the life of me understand why they would design this one like this.
Maybe this is specific to the 49mm filter since it’s a smaller diameter, but on this version the outer threads on the filter are larger than 49mm, meaning that the lens cap designed for a lens with… say… a 49mm filter…. Doesn’t fit. So if you want to use it you’ll have to find another lens cap (what size? Maybe 52? Trial and error because it isn’t marked on the filter!) or constantly be taking it on and off while walking around, which makes it effectively useless.
Simple solution? INCLUDE A LENS CAP THAT IS THE CORRECT SIZE, K&F! I have other VND filters for my larger lenses that are designed like this but they came with the appropriately sized cap.
