49mm HD Soft GND8 Lens Filter, 3 Stop (0.9) Soft Graduated Neutral Density Filter with 28 Multi-Layer Coatings Waterproof/Scratch Resistant/Anti-reflectivity for Camera Lens
SKU: KF01.1498
Bought this to replace the cheap graduated filter set which provided terrible pictures. First thought as soon as you open the boxes is how well everything is presented and the build quality. All metal parts precisionally made. The graduated glass is of high quality. The pouch looks like leather and has an easy pull tab to gain access to the filter. The filter folder can rotate on the adapter. This is sprung loaded and is easy to attache and remove on the adapter. Anyone looking for good quality and value should consider this kit.

Easy to use,
I used the graduated ND filter with the ND1000 for long exposure.
I didn't notice any color problem with these filters, they are quite neutral.
An ND 32000 would be missing in the range

I've been taking photos as a hobby for several decades, first analogue, then of course almost exclusively digital for 15 years, i.e. I've seen and tried out a number of photo accessories over the years. With the filter I bought here, three things were decisive.
1. The quality, I've often spent money unnecessarily on useless photo accessories
2. The price, I don't see a reason to spend more money, which you can't see in the photos afterwards anyway
3. The durability and extension of a plug-in filter system
Attached is a picture with the gray gradient filter
All points speak for this product. The filters are quickly attached, make a stable impression and are supplied in a practical case. The plug-in filter system is more than useful for the hobby photographer. In any case, I wouldn't want to be without it in my photo bag. I can't understand the fact that the filters are difficult to insert, which is often criticized here, on the contrary I even find this important because otherwise the filter could quickly fall through. After more than half a year and several sessions, I can only say about the durability of the filters so far nothing is scratched or even broken
Conclusion: Anyone who takes photographs knows that this hobby can sometimes cost a lot of money, and this is often the case with this hobby; "If you buy cheap, you buy twice". However, I don't have the impression with this product that the more expensive competitors, who also offer plug-in filter systems, do it so much better that the surcharge would be worth it here. That's why I can only recommend this system

I am a very amateur photographer who loves to do nature and landscape photography. This lens filter really added nice depth to the sky, especially the clouds in my photos without editing! It offers a nice contrast between the different layers of clouds. It comes with a nice hard plastic case for protection and was super easy to screw on. My only complaint is that there are no markings on the edge of the filter to help you align it. You have to look at the gradient on the filter yourself to make sure it doesn't end up in the wrong position (see pic 2!). In my 2nd picture you can see where I had to rotate the filter 90 degrees. But just fix it! The 3rd picture is with the filter, the 4th picture without. You can see, how much richer the sky looks with the filter! Overall, I am very happy with this filter and love using it on sunny days with clouds in the sky for instant additional depth and fullness!

Apart from the fact that it is an excellent product, the customer support is absolutely great, I have rarely been treated so reliably and friendly, big praise.

This is a serious piece of kit if you are a professional photographer or even if you are fairly new to photography and want to ramp up your skills.
This incredible filter allows you to select from a range of filter options in order to add some darkness to specific parts of an image. For example the sky can look darkened whilst the rest of the picture is bright.
It gives a stunning effect and can really enhance any picture for a professional look. I’ve played around with it over the weekend and it is fantastic. It’s pretty amazing at how much of a difference lighting can make in a photo. Very happy indeed.

Couldn't name a reason to switch to other manufacturers.
Super quality and above all really cheap compared to other manufacturers

Was undecided whether to buy this or another brand. For the same quality filters would have cost at least twice as much. My only gripe would the filter holder could be a little bit sturdier.
