I've been toying with the idea of buying a gradient filter for a long time, although the prices from Nisi, Haida, etc., around 150 euros, have always put me off. Then I came across the filters from K&F, because the filters were reasonably priced, I ordered them. The extremely beautiful and high-quality packaging should also be emphasized. Here you get an imitation leather case that is lined with fine fabric on the inside and has 2 magnetic buttons incorporated. This case is again in a nice padded cardboard box, very valuable and stable so I wasn't really disappointed. Filter holder: First of all, it has to be said that you need a filter holder system for the filters, which costs around €25 at K&F. This is well made and serves its purpose. Here comes the filter holder in a padded cardboard box. The scope of delivery includes the filter holder and 8 adapters in the size 49mm - 82mm. So I'm already looking forward to going out into nature with the filter to test it. The adapter ring is screwed onto the lens thread and the holder is simply mounted on the ring with a snap mechanism. The mount holds securely and doesn't give me any concerns that it might not hold even with minimal play. The optical quality of the gradient filter is great! I didn't notice any loss in image quality and there's no distortion or vignetting. Furthermore, I could not detect any color impairments or other color distortions. The filter does what it is supposed to do, it easily darkens an overexposed sky and saves me a lot of work in post-processing. Conclusion Since I haven't worked with ND filters before, I don't know what I could complain about here. Overall, I am very satisfied with the glasses from K&F. You get a high-quality, processed filter with top optical quality and a good scope of delivery (artificial leather case). For the price of around €89, it doesn't need to hide behind the other brands. I will soon buy more glasses from K&F.

..., that's the best way to describe the filter.

I've been taking pictures myself for over 15 years and professionally too. I already had one or the other filter in my hands privately for landscape (polarization filter, ND filter, graduated filter), but I usually didn't spend more than 50-80 € on it. It simply wasn't worth more to me. I was able to request this ND1000 here for testing and I was quite shocked by the price. 200€ for a 77mm ND filter, I was curious what to expect.

Positive:

- I was already surprised by the packaging. It comes in a kind of cardboard box, which then contains the leather case, a microfiber cloth and the filter. Even then everything looked very high-quality. As for the packaging, I have to say that K&F has come up with something great. In fact, you can convert the packaging into a picture frame. Instructions and material are included. I think that's a great idea. Although only a square photo fits in, I still think it was well thought through.
- The leather case is also of high quality and protects the filter perfectly.
- The filter itself is well made. It is easy to screw into the filter thread, has special spots on the outside edge for more grip and fits perfectly.
- I couldn't find any vignetting during testing because the edge of the filter is very thin.
- I can't fault anything else with the imaging performance, but I couldn't fault anything about my previous cheaper filters either.

Negative:

- The included microfiber cloth could have been saved. Unfortunately, this does not match the high-quality rest. It is so thin that you can look through it.

The filter is not cheap, but it is made of really high quality. I can recommend him.

It has a good quality and is super processed. The leather case is very very chic and protects the glass. I got it because I had bought a cheap one before which had a small purple cast. But this is perfect, no colour cast or anything. It darkens the sky very well and I would buy it again and again. Anytime again

Good quality filters for the price. I like the leather case.

The filter works as it should and comes with a super handy leather case. A very good alternative to screw-on filters.

Bought with my other K&F filters. Really indispensable if you don't have a well-defined horizon. The quality is amazing. K&F was my turning point in the quality of the photos I bring home. What can I say, incomparable filter. The case and the packaging alone reveal the quality of the product down to the last detail. Beautiful leather/leather case Professional glass filter and feels (large and heavy) at first glance. Unsurpassed Kentfaith.
