This is a third K&F filter that I own now, and it continues to impress me with the quality and value. This was an unknown brand for me and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone now that I have used three different filters from them myself (UV, CPL, and this variable ND filters).
I am used to caring a set of ND filters with me in a case and I did want something more compact for different conditions. My approach is always to be minimalistic and to carry less. We travel a lot (a lit less now "thanks" to covid) and carrying less gear with me for convenience (and back saving) reasons is always nice. This filter performed superb on my recent trip to Turks and Caicos. We were in many super sunny situations and traveled a lot around the island. I am not a professional photographer but I would classify myself as an "advanced amature" and to my eye this filter is perfect. No color distortion that I can notice, no artifacts that I can see, great range, and convenience of multiple ND filters in one mounted on the camera! It rotates smoothly, stays in place, light, and seems to be very well built. Had it in some sandy conditions on the beach and it held up very well. Definitely recommend checking it out.

What can I say? This is a great tool. It gives so much flexibility for ISO speed and shutter speed. It has low distortion and internal reflection. This is a MUST on the front of any lens and the quality is amazing for the price!!!!

The first thing I noticed about the K&F concept 82 millimeter variable ND filter, is that it was packaged super nice, and when I picked it up out of the box it felt like a quality product. It had a super nice metal finish and the two pieces glided across each other very smoothly. This was my first time using an adjustable ND filter on my camera, but I was always looking for the extra versatility and adjustable ND filter could offer versus a fixed ND filter stuck at one particular stop.
This variable ND filter definitely did not disappoint, I love how easy it is to slap onto my lens and it's so great being able to switch and adjust the power of the ND filter with a simple twist of the lenscap. In addition to its obvious uses an ND filter, I love the fact that I feel like my lenses are more protected when this is on them as well because the glass is not exposed to the elements. Overall, I am definitely convinced about using ND filters and adjustable ones more specifically, so I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's on the fence about getting an adjustable one. This one definitely does the job.

The filter comes in a very elegant packaging with magnetic closure and also has a small plastic box for transport. The filter can be easily turned on and off the lens, intended for maximum setting 3-4 full f-stops. You can see the effect best in backlight or strong contrasts in the subject, I look forward to testing the filter in the midday sun in the summer.

As a photographer, I am always looking for ways to save weight and then save money. As a long-time Lee Filters user, I was skeptical about switching to half the price of a product and always heard bad things about circular variable NDs. Man I was shocked at how good this product is. Really happy and will buy more.
