For the price of one I now have a well made variable ND filter for all my lenses - I am very pleased!

My circular filter kit for each lens size includes a protective UV, a CPL and ND 10 and 6 stop. The K&F kits contain all but the 6 stop. The 6 stop can be ordered separately, though at this time only from the manufacturer's website.
For any given size kit, the K&F Concept magnetic kit costs far far less than would top line individual threaded filters from other manufacturers (Breakthrough Photography, B+W, Hoya HD3, etc.). Yet the optical qualities of these K&F have been tested and are equal to the best. My own experience is that the K&F coatings are also just as effective at repelling water droplets as are my most expensive filters.
Having used K&F Concept magnetic filters in two sizes for a few months I am loving the speed of filter changes and the absence of thread jamming when I stack an ND on a CPL.
My only criticism is the lack of knurling on the front edge of the CPL frame. Magnetic CPL filters do not need or have a two piece construction. The entire filter is rotated in its magnetic attachment, which is fine but remains a two-finger grasping maneuver. To rotate the CPL you'll need to temporarily remove the lens hood. Maybe had K&F added knurling to the from edge a fingertip would suffice, but there is more friction opposing rotation than in a well made two piece threaded CPL. Off course you could attached your old threaded CPL to the lens, screw the open ring magnetic adapter onto the CPL, then add your NDs magnetically. You'd risk jamming the adapter ring to the front threads of your old CPL. I'm not going to do this.
The protective UV is only meant to be attached directly to the lens threads. It is a lens protector. It does not magnetically attach atop the other filters or the open adapter ring. You are give two threaded adapters, one is just an open magnetized frame. The other has the protective glass. The CPL or ND can be clicked onto this protective filter, but not the other way around. My advice is to use the protective UV when facing blowing sand or salt laden ocean mist (and when shooting from a Russian reindeer sleigh where showered by flying feces).
The included pouch is well made and easy to use. If you buy kits in multiple sizes you can even combine them into one pouch by storing the filters magnetically stacked and assigning each compartment of one pouch to a different diameter.

I am very pleased with this system and the quality of the filter lenses. It is wonderful for very quick changing of filters. Unfortunately I accidentally lost the ND filter the first time I went out and did not realise it until I was back home. My friend had zipped the bag they come in, and I, thinking it was still open and more concentrated on trying the one on the camera. unzipped it. So during my wanderings, the ND fell out. I did eventually manage to replace it, and received a magnetic lens protective cover as part of the order. I am made up now. I do recommend this system and it has the filters that I use, perfect.

►This is something that I never expected to see since I use DSLR and lenses.
Honestly now, it makes a massive difference.
I am not talking about the filters because you can find these any time, I am saying here about the system itself which I find to be absolutely brilliant!
How easy is now? Very very easy and I explain why.
I use filters for filming outside which sometimes can be challenging because of the light, the sun comes up from the clouds, manual settings, everyting over exposed which is very bad for video.
►My lens diameter is 67mm so I got those. You have to screw the ring and then based on what you want to get you just have to attach the filters.........you DONT have to screw them one by one which saves you a lot of time.

High quality, no dreaded X or aberrations. I expected a lens of this quality to cost much more.

It’s a great set of mag filters, and they are relatively budget friendly too comparing to most competitors like Kase, Haida or manfrotto. The magnets are pretty strong and the stacking mechanism is a joy to use. Keeps the package slim and works way better than magnetic filter rings from competitors.
One big complaint, is that the filter kit doesn’t come with a magnetic lens cap. The filters themselves are really shallow and won’t hold a clip-style standard lens cap. So without a magnetic cap I won’t be able to cover my lens. Had to purchase a separate magnetic cap from Haida to use with this set of filters……

This ND filter left a deep impression on me, I really didn't expect it to be so useful for video production. I think it is enough for me to shoot video on a sunny day.
