I didn't have the opportunity to try my new filter until last Saturday. Not only was I pleased when using it with my Nikon D5200 and 62mm Sigma Lens, but I hand-held it in front of the lens on my Sony HX90V while recording a sunset over the Oquirrah Mountains. Wow! The filter worked well on both cameras! No distortion at all. Luv It!

Good balance of price and quality with this filter. I just can’t bring myself to spend hundreds of dollars on filters so these fit the bill for me. If you’re a professional, spend the money on the pro filters, but if you’re an amateur who wants to improve their pictures, these are more than up to the job.

I love K&F ND Filters. I don't know if I will ever buy filters from another brand again. This is the third K&F ND Filter I have purchased and I have been extremely happy with all of them.
I have bought filters from extremely cheap to extremely expensive, and these are honestly my favorite ones I have ever used. They are high quality, easy to screw on and off, and have very smooth adjustments.

I purchased the K&F Concept 46mm Variable ND prior to my vacation to San Antonio, and I was super impressed with what this budget filter could do!
Any aspiring photographer knows how tough it is to film and take photos in bright sunlight and not have everything over exposed. This variable ND was the easy to answer to my run and gun filming style while I was out and about on my vacation shooting my Vlog.
I definitely recommend this product to people who need lens filters for their shoots. Comes in a nice protective case and fits easily in my camera bag!

Wasn't sure about the variable fader, concerned it wasn't strong enough.
Excellent quality and performance, easiest handling. Took photos of partial solar eclipse and even direct sunlight. Simple twisting adjusts brightness from next-to-fully transparent to pitch-black. Never seen such a thing.
This is a must-have item for creative photography. Arrived quickly.

Great product and does what it is supposed to. Shooting with a A7rii and a Tamron 28-75mm G2 it does seem to have a bit of vignetting (possibly due to my settings, may be an aberration other than vignetting as well). The variable ND is definitely nice to have and the range is good for most applications. I especially found it useful in a snowy environment where I wanted to keep the ISO down.
A few gripes I have that maybe unsolvable because 9f the nature of the item: 1) the lens cap only barely hangs onto this filter, potentially a Tamron lens issue, 2) a lens hood doesn't work effectively, the bore of the V-ND makes it so you would have to put on the cover THEN the filter.

Knowing that you need a neutral density filter and actually using it are two different issues. I'm on the learning curve and results are mixed due to my mistakes, not the filter. Fit and finish is very good, the plastic carrying case seems durable. I'd suggest getting an app for your phone to speed the ND selection process, I've used ND Expert and LEE ProGlass app from the Google Play Store, there are many apps to choose from but these seemed the most user friendly.

UPDATE: I was approached by a company representative and offered a replacement filter. I received it today and did a quick test. This filter seems waaaay better. It doesn't have any shadows in the corners or any black spots when shooting towards a light source. I haven't tried it out in the field yet, but it looks like it'll be alright. Either way, impressive customer service.
ORIGINAL: After reading all the reviews I decided to purchase this filter because my budget was tight. I used it on 24-105 f/4 L lens to take some photos at sunrise and sunset. It's absolutely terrible. There is a black shadow on the right side of the filter that gets stronger with each step. I wish I could return the filter but I've already threw away the packaging:( Will have to throw this filter away as it's completely unusable...

The only problem I ran into was having to autofocus the scene first, then change the settings to manual and then add the filter and adjust the shutter speed based on the ND settings. Other than that, it is a great filter...

I received this filter in good order and in good time. Quality seems good. This was my first experience with a neutral density filter which I used during the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. I primarily used it as extra protection as I also used an inexpensive solar filter. I look forward to experimenting with it as it provides a variation of light. To do anything with direct sun light takes a stronger ND filter than this one. It did work well during totality (2 min. 36 sec) although we had clouds so the variable filter without the solar filter allowed me to experiment a bit. However, I tried to give limited time to this so as to experience the grander effects of totality.
