Features
- * 1 When shooting outdoors, the light difference between the sky and the ground is often very different. Due to the limited latitude of the camera's photosensitive component, in this case, it is impossible to take pictures with normal exposure of the sky and the ground at the same time. For the sky to be accurately exposed, the ground will be underexposed and become pitch black; for the ground to be accurately exposed, the sky will be underexposed and become blank. Soft gradient is half-transparent and half-gradient gray, so as to achieve partial area dimming and balance the light ratio, and avoid overexposure of highlights. It is one of the commonly used filters in landscape photography. (Product features: suitable for high contrast between the sky and the ground. If the ground exposure is normal, the sky will be severely overburdened. The soft gradient lens can effectively balance the light ratio and contrast)
- * 2. The material of the filter is top Japanese optical glass, and the quality is guaranteed, which is the standard for high-quality products. Soft gradient GND16 circular filter, dimming 4 levels (1.2), transmittance is 6.25%, reflectivity is 1.5%, the anti-reflection rate of the same level in the industry is only 2%, and the plastic resin is as high as 4.5%.
- * 3. On the raw material of the optical glass, precision grinding and double-sided polishing ensure the stability of the molecular structure, and will not affect the sharpness on the telephoto lens, ensuring high-definition imaging. The surface of the mirror frame is designed with CNC trapezoidal patterns to ensure that consumers increase friction in a large area when rotating, and install/remove lenses and other accessories anytime and anywhere;
- * 4. After the glass is optically polished, a high-tech film is plated on the surface. "Moldproof", "Waterproof", "Anti-scratch" and "Anti-greasy". While having the characteristics of hard scratching, it will not have any impact on the image quality, and it can be easily removed even if it is contaminated with water droplets or oil stains.
- * 5. High-tech gradual coating technology, uniform and stable color, accurate gears, ensuring no deviation in dimming, and perfect image quality. The frame is made of aviation-grade aluminum, and the thickness of the frame is only 5.3mm. The design of the thin frame ensures that consumers and the wide-angle end and the telephoto end will not have vignetting.

Clear recommendation
A must for landscape photography. The effect is particularly noticeable when taking wide-angle shots. When the sky is darkened as a result, clouds emerge particularly vividly. Exposure corrections when taking a picture can almost be avoided.

Nice addition to my filter collection
This graduated ND filter from K&F Concept is a great addition to any filter collection for landscape photography at sunset or sunrise. For the price, the filter looks well made and has smooth threads and fits perfectly on my Sony lenses with or without a pre-filter. I didn't have any issues with threads as some have reported. The filter has a very soft gradation with a smooth swivel mechanism to align the color gradient as desired.

Very nice filter!
It was fun to play with while taking photos and it felt great and looked great. I'm really excited to put it in my camera bag and look forward to trying more in the future!

Looks that part!
In order to do the product justice, I still have to use this filter in the "fight", apart from a few test shots. Test shots were fine. It would have been nice to have a marking on the movable ring that shows the upper, dark position, I will simply touch the upper, dark position with tippex, just think that it will make it easier for me to position myself correctly. Overall good value for money and looks and feels nice.

Another great new product from K&F
I saw very little color cast. Yes, it was a bit there like you get with almost any ND under $ 300, but it's not strong and easy to fix. The glass has a nice quality and is not a super dust magnet. The coating appears to offer high glare resistance. The coating also seems to bead up water and quickly get out of the way, which I wasn't expecting for a filter at this price point. The build quality is great and the threads are smooth and without burrs, which is what you will often see on super budget filters.

My feedback!
I've been using the product for about half a year (almost daily) and I'm very happy with it!
Pro: The installation is easy and holds very well and with the installation rings it can also be used universally for every lens!
The filter also keeps its promises and the quality is still excellent!
Contra: the glass is a bit difficult to slide in, if you want to push the filter in, you should remove the attachment to avoid damaging the thread!
Conclusion: I am very satisfied with the product, even if you have to be a bit careful!
I give this product 8/10

High quality filter that gives the sky and clouds a nice depth and fullness
I am a very amateur photographer who loves to do nature and landscape photography. This lens filter really added nice depth to the sky, especially the clouds in my photos without editing! It offers a nice contrast between the different layers of clouds. It comes with a nice hard plastic case for protection and was super easy to screw on. My only complaint is that there are no markings on the edge of the filter to help you align it. You have to look at the gradient on the filter yourself to make sure it doesn't end up in the wrong position (see pic 2!). In my 2nd picture you can see where I had to rotate the filter 90 degrees. But just fix it! The 3rd picture is with the filter, the 4th picture without. You can see, how much richer the sky looks with the filter! Overall, I am very happy with this filter and love using it on sunny days with clouds in the sky for instant additional depth and fullness!

Good quality - great for sunsets
As you can see on the Amazon page, this graduated gray filter is really great for sunsets. The sky is relatively bright, the foreground a bit dark. Without a filter, the meter measures the sunlight and the dark areas are washed out. With a solid neutral density filter, the foreground is too dark. A graduated neutral density filter blocks some of the sunlight but makes the foreground appear normal.

Neutral density makes almost remarkable developments
This is a great filter to start with the landscape and learn how to use GNDFs. The performance is at or slightly above expectations at this price.

Top quality
Bought this to replace the cheap graduated filter set which provided terrible pictures. First thought as soon as you open the boxes is how well everything is presented and the build quality. All metal parts precisionally made. The graduated glass is of high quality. The pouch looks like leather and has an easy pull tab to gain access to the filter. The filter folder can rotate on the adapter. This is sprung loaded and is easy to attache and remove on the adapter. Anyone looking for good quality and value should consider this kit.

FAQs
A
If the filter is larger than the lens, that's fine. It just doesn't work the other way around because it crops the image on the wheels. In addition, the task of the adapter is to make larger filters usable on smaller lenses.
