Definitely valid filters
"I have used filters for two demanding purposes in the past for the SLR lens: photos at high altitude in summer with a strong sun and photos of water flowing in streams to create the "flowing" effect".
However, both the lens and the filters were cheap, but now I have switched to a 100mm macro lens with a decidedly high cost, so the filters must also be of quality to support the lens itself.
This K&F filter struck me because it integrates in a single product, what I previously obtained with two separate filters, and given that as simple as it is, changing filters when changing subjects is always inconvenient.
The product arrives super protected in its leather packaging, already a sign of the importance placed by the manufacturer in preventing it from being damaged once stored with other photographic equipment.
The construction quality is immediately noticeable in comparison with previous filters: we are on another planet!
Furthermore, the filter has two handles to adjust the two internal ring nuts which are very convenient because it avoids adjusting the wrong one if you have to do so using the edge.
Let's say right away that for the test, due to rainy weather, I was not able to extend it as necessary, due to very diluted natural light.
However, I chose to photograph live sphagnum moss, because it has an intense green color that often escapes the normal lens, looking for the patch of sky in which the brightness was higher.
As you can see from the photo, on the left there is the sphagnum moss without filter with the 1:1 macro lens and on the right the same shot with the filter inserted (obviously used at maximum brightness in this case).
The colors are now significantly better.
5 star rating: barring any future updates when there will be weather that allows for a better outdoor test, I am currently fully satisfied with the filter, the price of which is adequate for a lens that costs 10 times more."
