The 'K&F Concept 67mm UV Filter Ultra Slim Japan Optics Multi Coated Ultraviolet Protection Lens Filter with Lens Cap' arrived in a branded box.

The lens is in a plastic case for protection, it also serves to protect one side of the filter, whilst the opposite side is protected by the lens cap.

The filter was an easy fit to my Nikon P900 and as it is slightly wider than some filters I found it easy to unscrew after use. I would however recommend carrying a suitable filter wrench just in case.

It would be nice to see a cover for the side of the filter not protected by the lens cap a the lens filter with cap attached are stored in a cellophane envelope in the case, I suggest putting the filter/cap combination into the envelope with the lens cap the same side as the flap which keeps the adhesive as far away from the lens as possible.

It would be nice to see a protective cover for the second side of the filter, maybe something push on.

The "K&F Concept 67MM Polarizing Filter Circular Polarizing CPL, Ultra Slim, Japan Optics, Multi-Coated, with Lens Cap" came in a branded box. It was nice to find the filter in a hard plastic case for protection, with a lens cap already attached to the filter. I ordered this filter for a Nikon P900. With the lens cap still attached to the filter, I carefully screwed the thin filter into place. I then took a series of pictures to check its effectiveness, and have included two pictures of the original Nikon lens cap showing the difference. When attempting to remove the filter, I found that it was stuck, so I had to resort to a filter wrench to remove it. The reason it got stuck was because I was turning the polarizing ring clockwise and counterclockwise from my perspective behind the camera. I must have just caught the threaded ring with my finger as I turned it counterclockwise, just enough to lock the filter in place. Some suggestions I have from using the filter; 1. When installing the filter, leave the lens cap on as it gives a larger shooting area. 2. Only turn the filter clockwise when viewing it from behind the camera to avoid repeating my mistake and lock the filter in place. 3. Carry a suitable filter wrench when using one of these filters just in case it gets stuck. 4. If it fits a P900 and it gets stuck. Zoom the lens so it points out about 30mm then remove the battery without turning the camera off. This will stop the lens retracting when the camera is off and if the camera is left on it will stop the lens trying to counteract the movement. 5. The lens and cap are stored in a small cellophane sleeve inside the plastic case. It is best to leave the lens cap on and insert it so that the flap of the cover is on the same side as the lens cap. This virtually eliminates the risk of the sticky flap touching the exposed filter surface. The only thing that would make this filter better is some sort of cover for the exposed surface or attachment points to hold the filter in place inside the case.

this is awesome filter. picture quality remains perfect with the filter and great for protection you lens.
highly recommended

Protection for P900 lens

UV filters are often used to block extended UV rays on the front of a lens and as a longtime photographer I remember the days when a UV filter was a must to protect your lenses over the long term. ...or at least that was the theory.

Unfortunately, much of this belief persists to this day, and while the benefits of a UV filter that provides protection is still a hotly debated topic, UV filters offer a very good benefit...they keep dirt/grime/fingerprints back from the front Main element of a camera lens.

In wedding photography, it's not uncommon for a child/baby/drunk adult to reach out and try to touch your lens...in fact, attempts to do so can produce some of the most incredible shots if the timing is right.

However, the expense and difficulty of cleaning a good, high-end lens is often many times more difficult than simply cleaning a lens cover on the front...which is where UV filters usually come in...they do the job good job direct contact with the actual lens.

I've used many different types of filters over my decades of photography, and among these, UV filters are probably the ones that offer the widest range of quality.

This is the first K&F filter I've used and I've been using it on a Sigma ART lens for a week.

I'm happy to say that this filter is a nice mid to high end UV protector. Unlike so many cheaper UV filters, this one doesn't seem to introduce any easily noticeable color shift or image distortion with the image.

While I'm sure if I start pixeling and comparing this UV filter to a $200+ filter I could probably find a few glitches here and there. In fact, this filter is half the price of many of the other upper mid-range filters.

... and let's be honest. The primary goal of a UV filter is protection. A decent UV filter shouldn't noticeably alter your images. In this respect, this product does exactly what it is supposed to.

One thing the K&F excels at, however, is the case in which the filter is packaged.

The case is a hard cylindrical case that is easy to twist open. However, the nicer aspect of this filter is the fact that the housing has a silicone ring with grooves in it that holds the filter in place while it is in the housing. This is something many other manufacturers do NOT (including a large number of more high-end filter manufacturers).

While yes, this is the first real experience with a K&F filter, for me...after looking at the attention to detail they have done, I am now in the market for a few others of theirs :)

This filter just helps keep the gunk off the front element. This protection helps keep the lens from slowly getting micro scratches and ruining the whole lens. Easier to replace a filter then a lens.

if you take pictures at night you have unwanted glare spots due to the UV protection filter, so it depends on how you hold the camera so that it is not too strong. When photographing during the day, with direct light (sun/lamp), I personally don't find the lens flare disturbing. It makes a clean, processed impression, it protects my lens, which is my top priority, so I can recommend the UV protection filter . I find value for money very good.

The UV filter has a high-quality and clean finish. I really like the blue-purple reflection and it really makes a difference. I didn't notice any changes in image quality, but there could be a slightly different, increased lens flare. If you like the look, you will be satisfied with the filter. In any case, I can recommend it as protection for the lens!
