Optical performance very good. Service not that good
I was allowed to test the K&F Concept Nano-X PRO series polarizing filter 72mm, the flagship from K&F.
At the time of the offer, the CPL filter was around 150 euros, i.e. in the upper price segment for a screw-on filter.
The filter arrives at home elaborately and attractively packaged, it makes a very noble impression. It comes with a sturdy pouch (a mix of fabric and suede appliqués) which has a magnetic lid and is also lined with very soft material on the inside, which is also good because the filter is stored in this pouch almost naked. A band is guided outwards on the side. If you pull on this band, the filter is transported upwards. So the bag is already made very nice and noble. A welded-in microfiber cloth is also included in the scope of delivery.
The filter itself is very well made, the threads (on the lens side and on the front) are cleanly cut, so it can be screwed on without any problems. The glass shows no damage or flaws. However, what I noticed about this filter is that it is difficult to turn, in my opinion a bit too difficult. The problem becomes apparent when you use it, either you screw the filter really tight to the lens, or you turn it off again. This can get annoying when aligning the CPL, because I'm used to turning the filter back and forth for this. The optical performance of the filter is really very good, there are no color errors in the image. The CPL removes reflections from surfaces and gives a cloudy sky more contrast than one is used to from a CPL. There is no vignetting on my wide angle.
I would have loved to give the K&F Concept Nano-X PRO series polarizing filter all 5 if it weren't for the difficult thing about adjusting the filter. With a filter (72mm) for about 150 euros, something like that shouldn't be in my opinion. Otherwise the filter is very good.
