I took several test shots with each of the three ND filters and checked for loss of sharpness and color fastness. Am very, very pleasantly surprised. Didn't find anything to complain about. The filters come neatly packaged, there is nothing to complain about on my part, clear purchase recommendation and full 5 stars, I would buy again at any time.

PROCESSING - extremely good
Also compared to a common branded product, the processing is slightly better: The frame is narrower (therefore less vignetting) and processed more precisely. Even the print on the edge is more filigree and cleaner.
SINN - practical for "candle photos" and portraits
The filter ensures that a minimal blur is conjured up into the picture, which ensures that the photos come closer to our perception.
With light sources (popular when photographing candlelight) the pictures look more natural and also more romantic. A small aura develops, a bouquet around the flame.
When photographing the faces, the skin imperfections are naturally blurred just before the filters are applied.
APPLICATION - as expected
The filter fits the lens well and does what is expected of it very well

After looking at competitors and trying brand names one, found these at the fraction of the price, without a compromise with quality. The entire user experience from delivery is exceptional. You are very much buying a high-end product without the overpriced name brand. I bought these to help with my landscape photography, and they work exceptionally well with my Sony A7iii. The camera practically sees at night, to get a long exposure without this filter was incredibly difficult I would often have a very split picture with the moon/sun being very bright on the top end and the everything below the sky in complete darkness. After using the graduated filter, any additional adjustments happened at a snap. The material feels very sturdy, although I don't plan on testing the limits, I do believe that it is scratch-resistant. Looking forward to sunsets come spring to test this out further.

The composition of the different strengths is well thought out for practical use. The right filter or the right combination can be found for every situation in which light reduction by gray filters is required.
I didn't notice any impairments in terms of image quality. High-quality prime lenses from Nikon deliver the same image quality, whether with or without neutral density filter, in RAW and a resolution of 36 MP.
The ND 8 and ND 64 are absolutely color neutral. With the ND 1000 you might think you could see a slight blue cast; but for this there is possibly the image processing with color correction.
All three filters produce neither reflections nor ghosting.
From my point of view, I don't see any shortcomings or weaknesses in the filters and can only recommend them, especially at this price.

I bought the K&F Concept Black Diffusion 1/4 filter. The product was delivered quickly and was packaged in an attractive retail box.
The product is perfectly processed and makes a high-quality impression.
The central area (about 1 cm in diameter) is almost unaffected. The filter effect then increases significantly towards the edge. Very nice subtle filter for "romantic photos" and portraits. Highly recommended for analogue photography. In the digital realm, I'm not so sure. If you have the opportunity to take an image unaffected and then edit it digitally afterwards and try out different filters, I prefer a digital filter. If you know what you are doing and you are sure that the photos with the filter look exactly as you expect, then you save post-processing time with the K&F filter.
High-quality product, nice filter effect, price-performance ratio is right. 5 Stars

I am very satisfied with the composition of the filters. Thank you for this opportunity. Are there synonymous rotating gray filter, which filters the light on horizontal / vertical filter?
You can buy more expensive filters, but you don't have to!
Previous tests have been positive.
If necessary, I would gladly buy these again.

I've bought myself many times from the K&F company and I've never been disappointed.
I own a video channel myself and am an enthusiastic filmmaker and amateur photographer. And a filter like this is of course exactly the right thing. and attaching it to the lens is really super easy.
The processing is good and I took some photos and videos that turned out great.
One of my videos in particular, it has achieved an incredible amount, the recordings have become great and better.
This makes my daily work for my video productions on my channel easier. Above all, it was important to me that the videos get better, and with this I have achieved exactly this effect. I should have thought of that much sooner.

In order to get longer exposure during the day, I bought the set. In order not to buy an extra filter for every lens size, I took the largest diameter and adapted it to smaller lenses with rings. (Just search for "adaptations filter")
I don't really see any big differences in terms of white balance compared to the original photo without a filter. So behave fairly neutrally. The threads can be screwed on cleanly without "hanging".
Would buy the set again at any time.

The filter fits perfectly with my camera.
I'm not the big photo expert now. The pictures that you take with a filter are a bit softer, but I can't tell the amazing difference in my landscape photos.
I don't take portrait photos. I think you can see it better there.

The filter comes in a small bag. At first glance, it shows good workmanship.
The whole thing is a very subtle soft focus, which is not really noticeable for laypeople. One could almost mockingly say that every image editing program can do it. The filter shines more in dark and close-ups. Large-scale images and in bright daylight elude its magic and are almost imperceptible.
For just one filter, it's not cheap, but it's certainly worth it. Even if it is, to put it mildly, very subtle.
