40.5mm Magnetic Lens Filter Kit GND8+ND8+ND64+ND1000+Magnetic Adapter Ring 5 in 1 Quick Swap System Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: SKU.2123
I use my camera mainly for video, so it's usually locked down on a tripod, but these ND filters really do provide a lot of options for creativity while shooting. I love the magnetic mount so that I can quickly switch between them to find the exact level of step-down I'm looking for. I have purchased several K&F Concept products over the years and each of them never disappoints. For this set, I do wish that I could keep the ring on and still attach my lens cap, but for my specific usage, this isn't a deal-breaker as I typically only place the cap on once I'm done with my shoot.

This is a nice ND set. It covers the base levels you'll likely need (vs an adjustable one) and is quick and easy to use. It has a couple of great things going for it (along with a few shortcomings).
If you are doing landscape photography, you'll likely want a mix of long exposure and shorter exposure images. It's time consuming to add an ND filter on, and to switch it out every time you want to change the power. And if you use a variable ND, you often get a color cast or vignette. The magnetic design is a handy solution. You put on the magnetic ring and then are able to quickly switch between filters. It's a great time saver.
If you shoot wide angle, thicker filters will likely add is some vignettes to your images. These are super thing profile ones and don't shot at 16mm (perhaps even wider???).
The challenge is using other filters or a lens cap. Once this is installed, you'll need to unscrew it to add in a polarizer, UV filter, or a lens cap. They do sell Nano-X filters for all of those - so you could buy into the system, as a solution. For me, I generally know I want to do ND work when using it, so it hasn't been an issue.
Great value for the price.

This is my first time using magnetic filters. I love the concept. It’s so much more convenient and stopping the whole photo shoot too, and twist the filters and twist on a new one. It’s also a lot less wear and tear on your camera and you don’t risk stripping it. These are great filters and they came in a nice case.

I kinda like this kid, though that's not to say it's perfect.
First, I like the idea of magnetic filters. If you need to switch quickly between multiple ND filters in a session, and you don't want the bulk of square filters that can be slotted in and out, a magnetic setup makes a lot of sense. The filters are held securely to the lens, but they're not difficult to pop off when needed.
The downside is that with the screw on ring attached I can't use my lens cap, which is a bit of a pain if I'm on the move. In certain circumstances that would leave me back at square one, needing to unscrew the ring before I make a move, defeating the object of the kit.
If you're not all that mobile when you're shooting this is a very useful kit. If you know you'll need to use your lens cap regularly, maybe not so much.

The 5-pack lens filter set by K&F Concept’s, is a very functional, easy to use, nice quality, set of filters. Here are some of the things I’ve learned while owning it and things to consider before buying.
I. Quality – They seem to be very well made out of good quality materials. I’d guess they’ll hold up well over time.
II. Performance – They are very effective at what they were designed for. They fit nicely, with magnetic connection and provide the intended filtering abilities. Although, you do need to know when to use them to receive their full benefit.
Overall, this is a very nice set of good quality filters that uses quality glass to achieve the desired results. Of course there’s better sets, but you’re going to pay for it and it might not be worth it once you try these. I’ve been very happy with their abilities and quality. I’ll be sure to update this review, if I ever start to have problems.
You can trust that this review is simply my honest opinion that is attempting to provide you with helpful insight that I wish I had before I picked this product. Hopefully it was helpful in your decision.

I wish 3.5 was an option here. I like the magnetic attachment to a point, but to use that you still need to screw in a filter which the others can attach too. So it seems a bit superfluous at that point. Also, I have a lot of filters from various companies. These seem to intrude much further on the face of the filter, and the markings are also on the face. All my other filters are marked on the edges, and I prefer that tradition. The case is nice but bulkier than I would prefer. These filters could be a good addition to your camera bag, but I wish they were a bit better for the price.

What I love about these are that they are magnetic. That is a life saver when working in cold weather photographing landscapes. It's easy to pop these on and off, but not easy to accidently knock them off. I didnt notice any color cast like with cheaper products. It cones in a great little carry pouch that stores all these filters in one convenient location.

Lens filters are expensive. There's no getting around that and the 'marquee names' in the filter business can get *really* expensive. Fortunately, there's a number of companies that are making high quality, serviceable filters at a solid value price point. K&F is one of them--I have several of their camera products and have found them all to be well made, versatile and highly functional. This lens set--which I use on my Nikon Z-30--is no exception. Their performance might not be quite as impressive as the top of the line magnetic filters but they're perfect for every day use. You even get a nice little carrying pouch. Highly recommended!

The K&F Concept Magnetic 62mm Lens ND Filters Kit (5 Pack) GND8+ND8+ND64+ND1000 + Magnetic Filter Adapter Ring Filters Set with 28 Multi-Coated for Camera Lens:
This is an outstanding ND filter kit. The filters themselves are very good ND filters with no color shift. I have been using several K&F Concept filters lately and I find them to be among some of the best I’ve ever used. Overall very well engineered and constructed. This kit comes with 3 levels of neutral density and 1 graduated ND. The filters attach magnetically to a screw in ring, making swapping them out quick and easy. The magnetic ring is pre attached to one of the filters when the kit arrives, and you will use that one ring for all 4 filters. I really love the addition of the gradient ND as landscapes are one of my passions and this filter is ideal for bringing drama out of the sky. The kit also comes in a very nice filter wallet with several ways to attach it to your bag, belt, tripod etc. This is such a nice touch, and it really is a nice wallet, not just a cheap holder. I highly recommend this kit if you are looking for high quality ND filters. If you love to shoot very shallow and wide open, these are a must have. Solid color rendition, well designed and well made, high end filters.
