Really good.
Anyone who likes to take pictures knows what you use an ND filter for. Since my focus is landscape photography I can't help but work with such filters. I ordered this one from K&F for my full frame camera.

I was tired of filling my backpack with ND filters of different strengths. The Nano-X was just what I needed. I ordered it in the size 52 mm. I then work with step up rings to be able to use it on smaller lenses.

To say it right away: The optical quality and the quality of the images has convinced me! The workmanship is excellent and very successful. The lens thread is top clean cut.
The filter is adjustable from ND 3 to ND 1000. The larger steps (f stops) are marked on the ring and easy to read. So you know what you have set.

The 52 mm. Filter brings 28 gr. on my kitchen scales. Everything is solid and feels very good. The setting runs well with slight resistance. This is how it should be.

The optical quality is absolutely flawless and even in difficult lighting conditions the filter delivers top. Chromatic aberration or color gradients into the green, magenta or anywhere else I have not been able to determine even when pixel peeping. Even with foliage or fir trees in backlight and with reflections from dew, the quality of the filter is unsurpassed. Finally a ND filter that does justice to my limited lenses and the full-frame sensor. The frame thickness with thread is only 10 mm. Without thread 0.75 mm. So I can use the filter on wider angle lenses without edge shading.

Thanks to the screwed handle and the ribbing of the ring, the filter can be adjusted very sensitively.

Conclusion:
K&F Concept has delivered a top filter. What's the use of spending thousands on lenses, but then bad filters make work difficult or lead to lousy results? From me clear 5 stars. I hope this is useful for your purchase decision. Also the price is relative since you save at least 4 ND filters.
Really good. Really good.
