The title of this review pretty much says it all about the K&F Concept 52mm MCUV lens protection filter; even the name of the product indicates its most important function. This type of filter is primarily used to protect our expensive camera lenses, and K&F directly names its product as a “lens protection filter.” Therefore, this product appears to be well made and, when used, did not cause any aberrations, glare or ghosting in images taken with the filter, whether directly on the lens or in combination with other filters. It is very thin and has both an internal and external thread of 52mm. In comparison, the K&F UV filter is much thinner than the same type of filter sold by other manufacturers, with no noticeable difference in photo results. My only complaint is that, like many other K&F filters I've tried, attaching the K&F filter can be a bit tricky and produces a more noticeable "scratching" sound than other filters when screwed onto the mount . However, I did not find any negative results that could be attributed to this sound or its creation. All in all, I think the K&F Concept 52mm MCUV Lens Protection Filter is a product that should definitely be on your potential purchase list if you are looking for a UV protection filter. The competitive price and thin form factor, as well as the lack of obvious drawbacks, are clear pluses, which is why I rate this lens a solid 5-star product.

I have the UV protection filter on almost all of my 7 lenses. Not to reduce UV radiation, but to protect my lens glass. The UV filters arrive well packed in a plastic box. I can recommend the filters without reservation.

Many of us have caught filters solely to protect the lens, but not only do you achieve that with this kit, the UV filter is totally correct and the polarization took the hassle out of taking photos at the beach. Good value for money for me.

If you're used to cheap $10 filters just to protect your lens the price is eye watering for sure.

But this is a quality filter from top to bottom. I normally ignore packaging aesthetics but thats the first thing that stood out. I thought there was a watch inside. From box to the filter pouch - Quality. They even threw in a cleaning cloth. Normally youre on your own with that.

As for thr filter itself, doing a side by side with my cheap filters there a noticrable difference in detail. The filter itself is textured and grooved to reduce need for a filter wrench. The glass even spins inside of the ring so you dont overtighten. The 67 thread covers a wide range of lenses I have but Ill be using this for landscapes. One small knock on this is that theres not much depth to the filter so my lens cap doesnt securely settle in and ultimatley can bump off.

Still one of the best filters out there.

UV filters are mostly used just to protect the front of your lens. One of the biggest arguments against them, however, is that by using one you are putting a lower quality piece of glass in front of your expensive glass. This can lead to negative impacts in your picture quality such as loss in sharpness, extra glare, loss in contrast, etc. So with that being said, the best thing a UV filter can do is be as unnoticeable as possible and that is exactly what this K&F filter is. I use this filter on my Tampon 70-200 2.8 G2 and I can confidently say I have not experienced any negative impacts on my pictures. I have experienced no glare, no vignetting, and no effects on the image quality. This does perform better than the cheaper UV filters I've bought from amazon in the past. If you have a pro-grade lens and want to protect the front element, I would recommend investing in this UV filter rather than one of the cheaper ones. I think that if you went the cheaper route, you'd either find yourself coming back to get this one or getting frustrated with using a UV filter in general.

If you're used to cheap $10 filters just to protect your lens, the price is certainly eye candy.

But this is a quality filter from top to bottom. I usually ignore the packaging aesthetic, but that's the first thing that caught my eye. I thought there was a clock in there. From the box to the filter bag - quality. They even threw in a cleaning cloth. Usually you are alone with this.

As for the filter itself, there is a noticeable difference in detail compared to my cheap filters. The filter itself is textured and grooved to reduce the need for a filter wrench. The glass even rotates inside the ring so you don't over-tighten it. The 67 thread covers a wide range of lenses I have, but I'll be using this for landscapes. A small issue with this is that the filter doesn't have much depth, so my lens cap doesn't securely attach and eventually pop off.

Still one of the best filters out there.
