55mm CPL Filter Nano-Xcel PRO Series, HD Ultra-Thin brass Frame, 36-Layer Anti-Reflection Green Film
SKU: KF01.2310
This is a really, really nice CPL filter. It has a very slim design so it doesn't result in any vignetting, even while using may long telephoto lens.
Threads onto my lens easily without issue.
Adjustment of the polarizer is smooth and predictable.
There's no color shift or any other artifacts from the filter. Just crisp images with accurate color.
The filter comes with a nice fabric storage case, along with a microfiber cleaning cloth.
There's also a little instruction card that details how to use the box the filter was packaged in as a photo frame. Kinda kitschy but whatever. I just tossed it.
Great quality though.

Yeah you pay for it, but I’ve seen filters a lot more expensive that didn’t look as nice or work as well.
After testing this I’ve seen absolutely no optical distortion whatsoever. It is a beautiful polarizing filter that is precision made as you can get. The threads are very easy to screw into the lens and the ring turns with buttery smoothness. This allows you to get any sort of Grady action you want to you in terms of polarization. This mechanism, the simple, is incredibly precise.
The glass is absolutely perfectly flat as much as I’m able to measure it. And even using the laser test I saw no distortion whatsoever.
This is supposed to have some kind of nano coating that makes it scratch resistant and also shed water much easier. I really hope not to test this.
Every filter by this company has been first class all the way. Absolutely professional quality in this one is no different. I have a $300 German made polarizer and I don’t think you can tell the difference. I also have some other expensive ones that are not nearly as good as this.
As for the German one, they look identical and they feel identical. And that’s at half the price. This company makes some first class stuff. I won’t have a reservation ever buying a K&F filter.

A Circular Polarizer is one of the best filters to own. It allows you to block out light coming in perpendicular to your lens. And with a circular polarizer, you can easily rotate it to reduce or remove reflections and glare - or reduce the brightness of the sky.
It also comes with an attractive pouch for storage.
This one is a nice design. It is small form, which I prefer. It rotates smoothly. And most importantly, it doesn't degrade the image.
I prefer this CPL to my Tiffen one.

The K&F Concept 77mm Circular Polarizers Filter Super Slim with 36 Multi-Layer Coatings, High Definition Circular Polarizing Filter (CPL) Camera Lens Filter (Nano-X PRO Series):
Is one of the finest quality filters I've used. Everything about this is premium. From the packaging to the filter wallet to the product itself is top notch. It has a brass powder-coated frame and high quality, crystal clear optics. A filter I don't feel too bad putting in front of my best glass. The threads are precisely machined and screw in and out very smoothly. The CP rotation feels impossibly, buttery smooth. Like its hydraulic but it's not, it's just a ridiculously smooth action. Like a high quality potentiometer. The knurling feels very nice, and over all the whole thing feels really great in the hand. As far as the polarization effect it works as it should and as expected, and with crystal clear optics. The included filter wallet is made from suede and heavy denim, with a pull ribbon to retrieve the filter with out stick your fingers down the pouch. The whole thing is rather lux. The packaging itself is a very classy, thick black box, with gold accents. the box also turns into a picture frame. The package also contains a microfiber cloth. Overall this is a very deluxe filter. It is a bit pricey, however the quality meets the price for sure. You get what you pay for sometimes and this is one of those times. You don't want to buy top quality lenses, costing thousands of dollars, and put a cheap filter on it. This is the type of filter you can feel good using on your best lenses. Precision machining and great quality glass.

I shoot professional gear and don't mind paying for products that produce first class results, are durable, and are simple to use. This filter meets my criteria for a professional quality photography product.
The optics are high quality. I don't see any aberrations in the resulting images. Mechanically, the movement of the filter is very smooth. We'll see how it does with some weather and grit, but I expect it will continue to operate well. I put this up against the very best I have used and never look back. This company has produced an excellent, professional quality filter.

I really love the uses for portraits and remove reflected from skin, especially darker Melanated skin. I keep Polaroid and Kate in my bag at all times and it’s polarizing filter easily. The best one I ever got doesn’t stick like other ones in my kit sometimes they stick to my lenses not have a hard time removing it. This one is very easy to remove, and the focusing or rendering of the polarizing filter is Very smooth.
