solid part and enormously practical for on the way
The package containing the K&F Concept Nano X-Series Variable ND Filter ND3-ND1000 Gray Filter 67mm (1.5-10 stops) was delivered quickly and safely packed.
I love taking pictures and was happy to be able to test this filter.
The black outer box with the filter was once again covered with a plastic film, so that also no moisture could penetrate. The filter itself is in a high-quality plastic case. The flap of the case is magnetic. So no unnecessary fumbling around to get to the filter. Very practical: The filter can be easily lifted out by a strap.

The filter itself is made of Japanese optical glass with 28-layer nano-coating on both sides, which should prevent some lens reflection and of course glare from div. light sources. According to the manufacturer, the ND filter is waterproof, oilproof and dustproof, which is good for the requirements especially in nature and hiking. I have the feeling that the filter is very robust. But also has quite a weight with lens size 67 mm. Of course, the price is also accordingly appropriate.
The frame of the filter is made of aircraft aluminum, has an ultra-wide angle construction and is just 7.4 mm thick. Those who, like me, have always used a few different dark gray filters will appreciate this fact, especially when hiking. You simply need less space in your backpack and the weight is also kept within limits. One case, one filter.
I use gray filters especially when taking pictures of water at the lake or of flowing water or waterfalls. Also, for long exposure shots of places you'd like to photograph without people, a piece like this is fantastic.
The function of this adjustable filter is quite simple. Just press the handy slider and the filter will darken or lighten as needed. So you can easily try different settings and effects without having to constantly change filters.
Conclusion: the price is in the normal range with this kind of aperture level adjustability. Sure there are cheaper ones, but the K&F filter is already built a bit higher quality. The results are quite respectable. Since I'm not a professional, but just enjoy taking photos, this filter is actually a great companion for me and I'm happy to recommend it.
See photos, which I will post a little later due to the (somewhat stressful) Christmas season ;-))
