72mm CPL Filter True Color Circular Polarizers Filter with 28 Multi-Layer Coatings for Camera Lens Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.2370
I've used this circular polarizing filter over the past few weeks, it performs excellently. It's not quite B&W or Heliopan quality, but impressive in its price range. Very good optically, excellent coatings, accurate color. The ergonomics are perfect; I have big hands and the polarizer is easy for me to rotate. Rotation is smooth and not too tight or too loose. Good threading, it screwed on easily and smoothly. The filter is surprisingly low profile. It comes in a plastic storage case.

I love the K&F filters, they are very high quality. Provide very clean looks on photos and videos. Easy to install and remove. Doesn't get stuck to the lens. Also it comes with a fancy storage case, not the cheap ones. I use this filter all the time for my video shoots, gives me very clean colors. I highly recommend it.

I'm a big fan of K&F Lens Filters. Over the last few years, I've replaced my various filters with their products after I lost my previous one. I haven't tried this line of filters but it's very similar to their other filters. I found no issues with the glass or lens coatings.
I haven't had the chance to shoot with the filter. As soon as I have a chance to use the lens filter I will update this review.

More than once, having a polarizing filter or some type of lens filter on my lens has saved the lens from the punishment of traveling around the world on tours and safaris. This has the useful purpose of adjusting the degree of polarized light cancellation. Really nice addition and protection for my 62mm lens.

Used this Filter on a cinema Lens for a short film and it cut the reflections of a car window easily, even when using ND in a matte box

I've used this filter for just over 4 weeks, and I'm quite pleased with it.
Impressions:
1. This filter clears up distortions quite well.
2. Polarization is subtle, but it definitely helps to make natural outdoor settings pop to their true view.
3. If you regularly take photos in the rain, this is an excellent filter.
4. Fit is very good, and remains secure.
Bottom line:
This is a very good filter, especially at this price point.
5 stars

I recently made the jump to Nikon mirrorless, so I've been slowly adding to my filter collection specifically for my one Z-mount lens... the 35mm 1.8s. All my other previous filters that I have purchased have been on the more budget side of the price range. After trying out this one, it's easy to see where the extra money goes when taking the jump to a higher quality brand/model.
For one, this filter is built so much better. The outer ring rotates incredibly smoothly with just the right amount of give. With some of my other filters, their rings rotates a bit too loosely so every little touch accidentally changes the polarization. With this filter, there seems to be far fewer accidents and I'm still able to control it with a single finger. Another thing this filter does well is it seems to be able to cut down a lot more glare. Many of my other filters seem to reach their limit a bit too quickly, and it takes a few attempts in order to hit that perfect spot on the outer ring. With the K&H filter, it's feel much easier to make those incremental adjustments.
For the most part, I only have one complaint. I'm not a huge fan of the case. It's designed well, and is more than capable when it comes to protecting the lens from dust and drops... but it's really, really big. It barely fits into my lens filter bag and it's not even close to the largest thread size that I own. It just has a bit too much wasted space imo, and I really wish they went with something a bit more form-fitting. Aside from that, it's a solid product, and I have no qualms giving it an easy 5/5 stars.

I like these K&F Filters and this is no different. They are well made and come in a really nice plastic storage box to keep it safe. This True Color Polarizer Filter adds some nice color to my pictures or more pronounced anyway. I have never had any issues with K&F filters and the price is usually better than most so a good deal overall.

This is an ideal landscape polarizer for landscape and sti photography. It has zero tints and is a true clear filter. Images shot with this pop and are crystal clear.
It is great for cinematography as well because the filter won’t unnecessarily affect your color grading down the line if you are a colorist or have a color grade you are attempting to have as a director of photography.
Performance wise the lens is extremely well crafted like most K&F filters and the durability of the filters are always extremely top notch. Made from the strongest glasses & metal for the filters. This filter is a must have for photography & cinema. Give it a try asap.
