Square Filter Holder System Pro Kit (Filter Holder + 95mm Circular Polarizer + Square ND1000 Filter + ND8 + ND64 + 4 Filter Adapter Rings) for Camera Lens(Nano-Xcel PRO Series)
SKU: SKU.1877
I received the new X-PRO filter set today and have already tested its applicability in the apartment. I'll give you a verdict on the quality of the filter glasses and how they can be combined in one shot... The box supplied holds the holder + adapter rings + CPL + ND 8/64/1000. The compartments can be pulled out on the drawstring and the filters can then be removed very easily. The plastic filter frames are discreetly sharp-edged, but not uncomfortable, and allow the filter to be removed and handled without having to touch the glass. Thanks to the tabs on the frame, the filters can also be pulled out of the holder very easily, especially in any order. I ordered two empty frames in 100 X 150 from the manufacturer's website, which should hold my graduated filters, which I have from another manufacturer, upon receipt. I'm curious how well this works. If it works, then I have a complete system for myself, with CPL, three ND filters and two graduated filters (Soft 0.9 and Reverse Soft 0.9). Sliding the filters in and out of the holder requires some force, but isn't awkward or imprecise. In this way, the graduated filter will also be easy to align. The handling of the CPL filter with the insert bracket is great, the turning mechanism is a bit rough, but precise. Screwing the adapter rings onto the lens works very well, the threads are cleanly worked, so nothing rubs. Attaching the holder to the adapter ring is also a joy and the presence of a set screw is very welcome as the holder rotates on the ring with relative ease. The handling of the system has already convinced me, I can live well with "only" two slots for my needs and I'm looking forward to the first use, in the next few days, in the great outdoors and with cold fingers. So far I've worked with round screw filters and dispensed with gradient filters, which I would like to change now. I also looked at the system from Rollei (Mark II), which cannot keep up with the handling of the X-PRO from K+F. Everything is very flat and fiddly, offers hardly any contact surface for holding and assembling the parts. Getting the polarizing filter or adapter ring out of the holder is no fun and almost impossible with cold fingers. K&F solved this much better. If you want to use gradient filters, the X-PRO set is a good choice. If you only need gray filters, I would recommend a magnetic round filter set with a diameter that is significantly larger than your largest lens, which is even faster to use, is more compact and should then do not darken with several filters in parallel.

The picture quality on these filters is by far ahead of variable ND filters. I am a videographer and rely heavily on ND’s to get the shots I want.
They are super Sturdy and the I love the case the filter came in. Not to mention having this on your rig looks really cool!

Great value. Filters fit snug and don’t let any light around them. Filters come in a quality case.

Having some experience with ND filters, I always worry about purple corners or dark spots. I took the set out today and got no strange colors. I love this set, it mounts nicely to my lenses with no fear of it falling off. The picture was taken at 11mm, 13 seconds shutter on my Canon 50D, I found K&F Concept when I wanted a good tripod which I found from them. Now if i need any accessories for my photography i look to them first.

Far exceeds expectations. Quality of packaging matches a much more expensive purchase. The visual quality of the filter is equally top-notch. After using the filter in my filter holder, I can see no evidence of color cast or filter clarity. Overall, I have nothing but great things to say about this offering. Will definitely look to this manufacturer for future filter purchases.

SKU.1878 is a very versatile system and a quality product. The tab filters slide in and out of the holder with ease. So far no light has leaked out. I love that frame for my additional 100 x 100 and 150 x 100 filters get. It keeps fingerprints off the filter.
The company is located in Hong Kong. I would have liked to get extra adapter rings, but K&F Concept doesn't sell them separately, or so it seems. I contacted them through their website/email address and keep getting ads for their backpack. I was directed to get magnetic adapter rings, which are not for this system. It seems if you want to get adapters, you have to buy the filter holder and adapter rings.
This is definitely a product to buy. I look forward to taking pictures with it. It would be nice to have a wide angle sunshade.

I had never owned a K&F Concept filter before and was pleasantly surprised when I first used it in my landscape photography. The reverse graded ND filters of the popular brands of photo filters tend to be quite expensive and this one in particular is more affordable and achieves results that match and even better than the most reputable filter brands. It's made of glass, which is an advantage over resin filters as it doesn't scratch easily. I really liked the filter cover, which is made of leather with inner protection. In short, I really liked this filter and I am sure that I will use it very often in my landscape shots.

Scope of delivery: - filter holder for 100mm x 100mm filters - adapter ring 67mm - adapter ring 72mm - adapter ring 77mm - adapter ring 82mm - padded cardboard box for filter holder The set makes a very valuable impression overall. The adapter rings are made of black anodized aluminum - they are well made, not sharp-edged and the thread can be easily screwed onto lenses. Apart from the filter inserts, which are made of plastic, the filter holder is also made of black anodized aluminum. Here, too, the workmanship is excellent. Perhaps the quality of the plastic inserts could be a tick better, but that is already lamenting at the highest level. The slots fit all 100mm x 100mm filters with a thickness of 1mm - 2mm. Packaging was perfect; Adapters are packed individually; The filter holder is in a nice, padded cardboard box. Full score and recommendation for a flawless rectangular filter system at a significantly lower price than with some other manufacturers.
