I bought this because the kit provides me with the variety of filter mounts I need to cover my lenses. I have not seen any problem with unevenness or color streaks in my images. Focusing is a challenge, of course, due to the filter density. The mounting rings attach securely to my lenses and the connection between the rings and the filter holder is solid. My filter fits firmly in the holder. I suggest inserting the filter into the holder "off camera." Screw the appropriate mounting ring onto your lens, and then "click" the filter/filter holder combination into place. While still holding the camera in one hand and the filter holder in the other, try to wiggle it or pull it off to test that it is firmly attached and that it won't fall off while you are shooting.

A few years ago, I started beefing up my camera equipment. I had a Canon 5D Mark IV camera body, but didn’t have great glass. So, I started my gear journey by upgrading my lenses. I now have four amazing lenses including a 70-200, 24-70, 100mm Macro, and a Wide Angle lens. After I finalized my collection of lenses, I started looking at accessories I needed to accompany those lenses and came up with a short list of items that included high-quality filters. The problem I had was that I needed to be able have filters that works with all my lenses. Buying filters for each one of your lenses can get really cost prohibitive. So, one solution I found was to get a square filter with step-down rings. K&F Concept has a great option for this type of set-up so I gave it a try.
About a month ago, I shot photos at a wedding on a mountaintop in Tennessee. It was in the middle of the afternoon and the sun was super bright at the location of the ceremony. The venue was huge and I wanted to pack my camera bag somewhat light so that I didn’t have to struggle with tons of equipment. The square filter set from K&F concept was perfect for this type of work. The kit is lightweight and it makes it possible to use the one filter for several different sizes of lenses. During this wedding I was working with an 82mm lens and a 77mm lens as my primary glass. At the ceremony site, I had to quickly swap lenses and reapply the filter in order to get the shots the couple wanted. I found gaps in the ceremony where I could quietly and quickly change lenses and attach the filters without disturbing the event. It worked perfectly and even though some people might consider it cumbersome, I thought it was a lot easier than having to swap lenses and then screw filter into each lens.
When using these filters, I shot exclusively in RAW, but did not perceive any color cast from the filters. The mount is solid and the filter is well-protected by the soft lining in the case. It’s very easy to attach the mount to the lenses and in my opinion is actually easier to work with than individual filters.
I do feel like the lens adapter could fit a little more snuggly onto the camera lens, but I’m definitely not complaining about that and it is certainly not a dealbreaker. It’s just a tweak that could make the product even better than it already is.
One of the most appealing features of this product is its price. At £100, it’s much more budget-friendly than purchasing a single ND1000 filter. This is a great set-up for beginners and professionals alike.

Had a problem at first. The filter holder, closest slot to the lens, had a large space allowing a lot of light in and of course making the filter application useless. I contacted K&F and they were aware of the problem and asked patience as they were working on a solution. No problem. Within two weeks they sent me their updated filter holder and it now has a soft material that prevents any light entering. Perfect. The filter is a true 8 stop and glass not plastic. Great service, they stand behind their products, great filter, great price. What are you waiting for?

This is tough to beat. Not only do you get a 100mm GLASS (not plastic) 10-stop ND filter, but you also get the filter METAL mount and multiple METAL lens adapters. Even if you need to buy step-up/down adapters because the ones included do not fit your lenses, this is still a bargain. Even though this comes in at well below the price of other 100mm 10-stop filters (without the mounting system), it performs excellently.
My unit doesn't produce any noticeable color cast, but I also shoot solely in RAW, so a color cast wouldn't be an issue anyway. The case for the filter is firm, so I don't worry about it very much when it's in my camera back, and the soft lining keeps the filter safe from scratches (so long as nothing coarse gets inside, of course). Better still, the filter mount features a second slot should you wish to use additional 100mm filters (e.g. graduated filters). I point out the size because this is the "standard" in these filters, rather than the more common 80-something mm ones you see in comparably-priced square ND filter bundles that use smaller, cheaper plastic filters instead.
The only issue I found, and this is really just nitpicking at this point, is that the filter mount never really feels very securely attached to the lens. The filter and mount won't fall off if the camera is moved or tilted forward, but the mechanism that attaches the mount to the lens adapter could be a bit tighter fitting in my opinion. Nevertheless, great product at a great price. Anything "better" will be considerably more expensive, and even then, how much "better" will it be?

Came really well packaged and a great value. Filter seems good, no noticeable hues, adapter rings for most size lenses and the metal holder seem durable

To be honest I was really hesitant to purchase this, however the price intrigued me enough to give it a try. I have to say this ND Filter is right up there with the best. It comes nicely presented and the case to store it in is great. There have NOT been any weird coloration in. The glass is high quality and easy to clean. Honestly I love this ND Filter.
