82mm Magnetic Lens Filter Kit MCUV + CPL + ND1000 + Adapter Ring

I love using filters, the polarizing filter in forests or on the coast I find it essential, also when there is hard light, when there are low moving clouds and in rivers, waterfalls and coasts I love using the ND filter. In situations where I don't require the polarizing filter or ND filter, I like to use Ultraviolet to protect the lens.

The truth is that sometimes it is cumbersome to use them, especially in adverse situations when, for example, it is cold and you are wearing gloves, there is a lot of wind, you are very close to a waterfall and there is spray, etc, etc. It has also happened to me on occasion that I have left the filter on the lens for a while and then it has been difficult for me to remove it, so I have found it interesting to try the magnetic K&F filters, it seems to me a comfortable system with a good quality / price.

In the package comes a case with the 3 filters (a polarizer, a 10-stop ND and UV) and a screw adapter, the case can be placed on the belt to always have the filters at hand.
The use is quite easy, you simply have to place the thread adapter and place the filter in it, as it is magnetic it immediately catches it and from there it does not move, if I want to change the filter it is as simple as removing it and putting it on, you can see the video where I record the simple process.

The good thing about this system is that both the adapter and the filters are thin and you can also place two filters at the same time, for example the polarizer and the ND to take out moving clouds with polarized light avoiding unnecessary reflections.

In short, I have loved the system of changing the filters so quickly, when I am traveling or in uncomfortable situations I will appreciate it.

Been wanting to try these K&F Concept Magnetic Filters since they were announced,
I’m glad I purchased these they’re awesome,
Super easy to use and swap when in the field,
Just attach the magnetic ring to your lens and then it’s simply a case of attaching the filters with ease and swapping out,
No hassle of having to screw the filters on and off, this is totally a game changer in my opinion, I own a fair bit of K&F gear and these are great quality as always,
I have the k&f square filter kits but these are way easier,
The supplied case is really nice too,
They’re not cheap but you get what you pay for, I’m overall extremely happy

As a photographer, I use filters, but it's not always easy to put on or remove depending on the situation. But with this system, it becomes so simple that it is almost instantaneous.
The product is of very good construction quality and comes with a 4 pockets pouch very well made and resistant against possible blows. It can be attached to the belt thanks to a scratch. The kit consists of two screw rings, one UV and a vacuum on which you can attach the CPL filter or the ND1000.
I wanted to go and test this new product. First with the CPL filter alone and then with the CPL+ filter the ND1000 together. The results are just staggering. Here are the rendered with the CPL filter on the left and the CPL+ ND 1000 on the right. With the filters, there is no loss of dipping, and the color drift is almost zero. The CPL filter polarizes perfectly and the ND 1000 filter is very amazing by its performance, it is very thin which limits vignetting, a plus. Using both together, it is better to avoid the ultra-wide angle focal lengths, but from 16mm, no worries, we can add them up. In addition, they are compatible with my sun visor, I was able to put on and remove them without having to remove it very easily because the magnetic force is perfectly dosed.
Really very satisfied with this first release, I hope that other magnetic filters intermediate with this system will come out soon to complete the offer.
If there were magnetic lens caps, it would be great.
This is a very good investment and the price is more than correct given the quality and results obtained.

Delighted with my 55mm magnetic filter kit. It is made up of 4 components, an adapter, a UV filter, a polarizing filter and an ND1000 filter. Both the polarizer and the UV have a thread, so they can be screwed onto the front of the lens, but they also have a magnetized part, so the rest of the filters can be placed magnetically on them.

The combinations to use CPL and ND1000 can be:
-Adapter+CPL, Adapter+ND1000 or Adapter + CPL + ND1000
-UV Filter + CPL, UV Filter + ND1000, UV Filter + CPL + ND1000

They come in a padded cover with an inverted zipper to prevent some water from getting inside in case of rain. It can be clipped on your belt or anywhere else for convenient wearing or carrying.

I have several types of filters, threaded, square and these. Without a doubt, the magnetic ones are my favorite filters, I am super happy with them because they are very comfortable to use, especially for that reason, because of the ease of use. It is very easy to put on and take off any of the filters. You leave the UV or the adapter and it is instant to place or remove any of the others. I always have the UV, which also has a thread on the outside to be able to put the lid on, the thread is fine, but the lid remains fixed and does not fall off. In this way, I always have the camera ready to put any of the other filters quickly and easily.

In terms of image quality I have little complaint, I have not appreciated any loss of sharpness or any color cast. I have been able to use both the UV+CPL+ND1000 up to 12mm on my APSC camera without vignetting.

The filter I use the most is the ND1000 and it is very easy to use. Put the parameters you consider for the photo and focus, change the camera to manual focus so that the focus remains fixed, place the ND1000. Now you will see everything dark and you will have to change the time. What time do I use? Very simple, take the time you have set and multiply it by 1000. A 1/125 photo without a filter should be taken at approximately 8 seconds to obtain a similar exposure.

If what you are looking for are good quality filters that do not negatively affect your image and that are very comfortable to transport and use, I would definitely buy magnetic ones. Carrying the squares is sometimes a nuisance and the threaded ones are much more uncomfortable for me, in addition to the risk of them falling off, I am a bit of a hand and it has already happened to me several times with the threaded ones. With these at the moment no problem and very happy.

I leave you a video and some photos that I hope will help you!

I own quite a few K&F Concept Products. They provide quality products without the hefty price tag we're used to see in the photography world.

Let's talk about the filters individually first. All 3 filters are of top quality, at least on this price point/tier, as we're used to get from K&F Concept products:

-The CPL Filter has no color shifting and performs as expected.
-Same with the ND1000, although i don't use 10-stop filters that often (my most used filter is a VND Nano from K&F Concept) during my test it worked well, no cross present, even while using step-up rings.
-The UV Filter has no color shifting and the main purpose these days of the UV filter is to protect the lens surface, BUT, It is where this VERY MINOR issue this kit has: The magnetic ring holder.

The magnetic ring holder works great with the ND and the CPL, just not as good with the UV Filter, but it is not by ANY MEANS bad or i'd call it unsecure, at least not on the 82mm filter size version, your mileage may vary depending on the kit size you got as the magnetic surface may be different for your version, just the grip doesn't feel as tight as it does with the other two filters and there is a TINY bit of play, but not enough to warrant losing a star over it, i mean if you shake the camera at full strength you may drop it, but on regular usage i do not see it just falling off the ring holder.

As the sum of all parts i'd say this was almost perfect. This kit complements my VND ND2-400 and includes everything i need to cover all my filters along my step-up rings. The UV filter thing doesn't make it lose a star, but maybe half, so i'd say 4.5 but since there's no option for that if i had to decided between 4 or 5 stars, i'll go with 5.

I am a photographer and I love adding accessories to my kit. One piece of the ‘kit’ that has been elusive to me is functional, easy-to-use lens filters. I have a great set of variable ND filters, but the one thing I keep struggling with is getting them lined up exactly right in order to screw them into the lens. K&F Concept, a surprising, budget-friendly accessory manufacturer has a really cool set of magnetic lens filters. The set comes with a soft-sided, waterproof carrying case, adapter ring, MCUV filter, CPL filter, and ND1000 filter. The idea behind this set is that you screw on one adapter, leave it on the lens, and then pop the filters on and off as you need them. You don't waste any time while shooting trying to get the filters lined up just right. I think this is a great filter system. The filters are well-made and high-quality.

Great product & well packaged.
Easy to use and less fiddly than trying to screw filters in with the lens hood in place - especially the ND filter after pre-focussing and framing the image.

These are so easy to use and the quality is fantastic - both the build quality and the picture quality. I can't see any colour cast whatsoever from both the CPL & ND filter. I think you would really need to pixel peep to see any sharpness difference, and even then I'm not sure there is.
Being able to attach the filters to both the UV filter and filter ring is really clever - I keep the UV on my 24-70 F4 and the filter thread ring on 16-35 F4 so it makes it even faster to clip on the filters no matter what lens I use.
Since the ND isn't variable, there's no dark X. And no vignetting at 16mm, unlike when I use my square filter set.

The downsides that I see at the moment:
- You can't replace the filter thread on its own, so if you break or lose it, you have to buy a new set. I contacted support but was asked to pay $16 for delivery of a new thread....
- The range of NDs isn't as big as a square filter system (yet) and again I'm not sure if you can buy them as singles or whether it's just part of these kits

A great design concept which works really very well. The filters feel and look well made and the magnetic fixing fits firmly. The carry pouch is nicely made too which allows for easy access when on location. This is an awesome starter filter pack for a reasonable price.

I had been wanting to try a magnetic filter system for a while so I'm glad I got my hands on these. All the magnets work well and it's easy to screw on the adapter onto your lens. I personally only really use the ND filter, but the other 2 filters could stack on no problem and without any degrading in image quality or color.

I was able to look closely at high resolution RAW files of photos I took using the ND filter and they looked extremely clean. The little carrying case is a nice touch as well.

One suggestion is maybe adding a 6 stop ND filter to the set. There were a couple times where the 10 stop was just a little too much light blocking for me.

I would definitely recommend this to most photographers as a great and easy all around filter system
