67mm CPL Filter True Color Circular Polarizers Filter with 28 Multi-Layer Coatings for Camera Lens Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.2369
This true color polarizer is an interesting filter. I tried it on my camera lens and it definitely enhanced the colors a little bit, making them pop a little bit more. The glass was very clear, and I noticed no distortion in my image when this filter was on. I like the grip on the sides of the filter for screwing on and adjusting it. It comes with a nice storage case as well. It adds a little definition to your image for better quality, so I think I will get a lot of use out of this filter, especially outdoors, where the colors seem definitely enhanced.

This is a well constructed and very optically clear filter. I can see how it would help reduce glare and help bring out colors in a bright color situation.

I've had a few K&F Concept Filters, and this one ranks up there. As a CPL it has some wonderful values when used on a sunny day, when shooting into water, or when shooting reflective things.
The case is big and round made to hold all sorts of filter sizes. The filter itself feels well constructed and based on everything K&F says it's made with a NANO-X coating to eliminate yellowish tint.
It's a screw-on filter and I had no issues when putting it on, however, after leaving it on for a while there was a time when it did come loose and needed re-tightening.
The colors from the filter are deeper and more pronounced. The skies have more depth and less glare on glass and water.
If you're looking for a good CPL Filter, K&F should be at the top of your list.

I'd heard of K&F filters, and I'd seen some rather glowing reviews. When I had a chance to try these for myself, I jumped at it. And I was NOT disappointed.
I tested these against two other brands, both of which cost north of $200 for an 82mm size. When I was done snapping photos in a park under a mid-day sky full of puffy white clouds (a perfect sky to test a CPL), I went home to see how they measured up.
My first clue was mistakenly thinking the images from my Breakthrough Photography filter were the ones I took through the K&F. The other, the one that boasts there is absolutely never in a million years chance of any hint of a color cast, has a slight but definite color cast. Yes, of course I took control shots without any filter. The other, a B+W, was the same as this K&F -- but it cost a bunch more.
I should note that these were all high-transmission filters. If I need an ND I'll use one, thank you very much. No need for a CPL to try and double as one.
Bottom line is these are very good filters, as good (or better) as much more expensive brands. That makes these not only a great value, but a smart choice.

The other comments are correct, it's a bit hard to adjust the rotation, but otherwise it's a fantastic filter!

I've used this a number of times on a few of my lenses and had great results. The build quality is really good and it threads perfectly into every lens I tested it with without binding. The filter has a firm turn and holds position nicely. Optical quality is very good and I noted very little fall off in total light reaching the sensor.
The price is very good for the quality and I keep one of these in my travel kit all the time. Great job K&F!

Think of this like adding sunglasses to your lens. It allows you to take longer exposures and you can get the wavy water effects, less glare etc.

Really solid CP filter that is well built, and affordable! The CP effect is up to par with some of my more expensive filters. Rotation is solid, and won't walk as easy as some other filters I've used, which is great for consistency on shoots. K&F makes some reeeeally nice stuff!

I have used Hoya filters for a long time, so it was a bit of a stretch for me to try something different. I was able to score this filter through the vine program, so I figured why not give it a try?
First off, the polarizer is well built. I had a Tiffen polarizer that would spin loosely, but this one feels solid. it is also a little heavier than what the other filter I have. The glass seems to have a nice clear tinting and has a noticeable effect on my pictures. It does what I expect a polarizer to do- brings out color on a nice sunny day and reduce glare. So far, I love it!
