In addition to the square filters, I also bought the inexpensive magnetic filter holder set. All I can say is: great. However, I don't have the option of purchasing ND 8 and ND 64 (magnetic) because only ND 1000 and polarizing filters are available. A second glass-filled filter holder is included, which can be stored permanently with an adapter ring for a second lens size and still! fits into the super handy case. For now, this inexpensive set with a magnetic holder is enough for me; If I have further requirements, I will probably switch to the "large" filter holder system from another manufacturer (approx. 400 euros with three ND filters). Which photographer doesn't know this "want to have?" In short: Riko Best's post on YT convinced me. Would I recommend it? Yes, anyone who wants to work with a gray filter every now and then. LG

I shoot in various elements and destinations where lighting is different and filters are needed for optimal results. I have been using the traditional screw on filters but I find it time consuming especially how it needs to be aligned perfectly on your lens, taking up to a few minutes for each one when I could miss the opportunity of my shot. I find this K&F filter set to be a great choice for me. I am no professional by any means and take photos for fun with my Nikon d850 and these filters have worked great for me. The magnetic adapter ring is easy to screw on the lens and the lenses stick to it well. These lenses work great in the rain and are not only waterproof but the water beads off of them. I have not had any issue of fogging between the lens and filter.The come packaged nice in a hard case, each in its own slot. I find this to be a great value for all of the different lenses offered in this set and I am extremely happy with them.

Taking long exposures with the ND and the polarizer saturates the colors overboard

Generally speaking, I've become a fan of K&F's filters. They are, and this kit is no exception, competitively priced quality filters.But this "kit" is a bit disappointing and, in hindsight, I guess I would have preferred to just buy the 3 individual filters.On the plus side is the obvious: being able to swap among the three included filters is quick and easy. Attaching the filter adapter is simple, and selecting the filter (or choosing no filter) really does take just a second or two.But here are some negatives to think about before you choose this kit over individual filter purchase:- The UV filter does not attach as strongly as the other filters. It sloshes around a bit within the adapter ring, and I'm actually a bit worried that a slight bump could cause it to pop out. By contrast, the ND and CPL filters attach much more firmly. (In case it matters, I'm using the 77mm size.)- The filters are "stackable", allowing for some creative possibiliities, but not entirely so. For example, the CPL filter can be seated firmly inside the UV filter, but not the other way around. So, your one or two seconds of switching/stacking filters may be a little clumsier than needed. It would have been nice if this kit had uniformly designed filter rings, so that all of them worked the same way.- It would have made so much sense if the adapter ring were also threaded so that I could screw on other non-kit filters. That seems like a missed opportnity on K&F's part. In other words, if I want to take one of my traditional 77mm filters, it would be nice if it could simply screw it onto the adapter ring. But instead, I have to unscrew the adapter ring to make way for my old filters. Perhaps this is K&F's way of nudging me to consider buying more of their magnetic filters to add to my kit.So, in short: the individual filters, as far as filters go, are great. But this kit has plenty of room for improvement.

This is a solution for one of my pet peeves, taking filters off and on in the field. I always carry a CPL filter with me when doing a shoot, but it is difficult to take them off and on in the back of a Range Rover on the move. This one is protecting my Olympus 300mm f4.0 lens (UV) and allows me to quickly switch to the CPL when I need it. I ordered another set for my 72mm lenses. Great packaging, good carrying case and I'll be able to cover all my field lenses with the two sets. Extremely impressed with the ease of rotating the CPL filter. My lens cap stays on with no problem and can be either on the CPL or the bare magnetic mount. The magnet is very strong, the filters stay where you want them until you want them off.

I have to say that I never used filters before - this is my first try.I like ND filter. I do not see discolouration or sharpnes loss in images.I am a little disapointed with polarizing filter - it removes very little reflections and I wonder if it depends on filter quality how many reflections CPL filter is able to cancel out?I do not see a difference between with or without UV filter - I won't be using it.I wish they had a set for 92mm lenses.

Quality is okay for the price. What is missing, however, is a magnetic lens cap from Canon that no longer fits. But I found a solution. Lens cap snap-on protective cover.

I had been wanting to try a magnetic filter system for a while so I'm glad I got my hands on these. All the magnets work well and it's easy to screw on the adapter onto your lens. I personally only really use the ND filter, but the other 2 filters could stack on no problem and without any degrading in image quality or color.I was able to look closely at high resolution RAW files of photos I took using the ND filter and they looked extremely clean. The little carrying case is a nice touch as well.One suggestion is maybe adding a 6 stop ND filter to the set. There were a couple times where the 10 stop was just a little too much light blocking for me.I would definitely recommend this to most photographers as a great and easy all around filter system

Delighted with my 55mm magnetic filter kit. It is made up of 4 components, an adapter, a UV filter, a polarizing filter and an ND1000 filter. Both the polarizer and the UV have a thread, so they can be screwed on the front part of the lens, but they also have a magnetic part, so the rest of the filters can be placed magnetically on them. The combinations to use CPL and ND1000 can be :-Adapter+CPL, Adapter+ND1000 or Adapter + CPL + ND1000-UV + CPL Filter, UV + ND1000 Filter, UV+CPL+ND1000 Filter They come in a padded case with an inverted zipper to prevent some water from entering inside. case of rain. It can be clipped on your belt or anywhere else to use or carry comfortably. I have several types of filters, threaded, square and these. Without a doubt, the magnetic filters are my favorite filters, I am super happy with them because they are very comfortable to use, especially for that reason, for the convenience of use. It is very easy to insert and remove any of the filters. You leave the UV or the adapter in and it's instant to attach or remove any of the others. I always have the UV on, which also has a thread on the outside to be able to put the lid on, the thread is fine, but the lid remains fixed and does not fall off. This way, I always have the camera ready to put any of the other filters on quickly and easily. As for image quality, I have little complaint, I have not noticed any loss of sharpness or any color cast. I have been able to use both the UV+CPL+ND1000 up to 12mm on my APSC camera without vignetting. The filter I use the most is the ND1000 and it is very easy to use. Set the parameters that you consider for the photo and focus, change the camera to manual focus so that the focus remains fixed, place the ND1000. Now you will see everything dark and you will have to change the time. What time do I use? Very simple, take the time you have set and multiply it by 1000. A 1/125 photo without a filter should be taken at approximately 8 seconds to obtain a similar exposure. If what you are looking for are good quality filters, that do not negatively affect your image and that they are very comfortable to transport and use, I would definitely buy some magnetic ones. Carrying the square ones is sometimes a hassle and the threaded ones are much more uncomfortable for me, in addition to the risk of them falling, I am a bit big-handed and it has already happened to me several times with the threaded ones. With these at the moment no problem and very happy. I leave you a video and some photos that I hope will help you!
