I didn't have much time with the filters. I usually shoot several times a month, but this time of year I have limited time. I had planned to use them on a hiking trip that was cancelled at the last minute. I took some test shots and checked the lenses for flaws and found no problems.
Instead of the normal hard shell filters that are included, this comes with a screw cap for each end and a soft carrying case for extra protection. In cases like this, I need more than the pinch lens cap. This screw cap protects the filters. However, removing the cap takes a few seconds longer.
The only problem I've encountered so far is that after tightening the filter to the lens, I've only been able to remove it with a lens filter wrench. The gripping surface on the immovable parts is just not enough to loosen it.
I like the filter set and plan to buy more K&F filters for my other camera lenses, and I recommend their products. I will update this add once I have had a chance to spend a little more time with the lens filter.

"I have been using K&F Concept filters for several months and have been very pleased with their quality. This set of a UV filter, circular polarizer and two lens caps is excellent quality and very reasonably priced. As far as optical quality goes, I can't find anything wrong with these. They are top notch and easily comparable in quality to Tiffen filters.
The filter frames are made of aluminum alloy, which is strong and lightweight. They screw on fairly smoothly, but are not quite as smooth as the heavier brass rings you get on more expensive filters. Brass is naturally a less "sticky" metal, but these aluminum frames work flawlessly, mainly because they have sections of milled grooves on each side that give your fingers a great grip when screwing the filters on and off. I usually rub a little finger grease over the threads every now and then, just to have a little lubrication.
The screw-on lens caps are beautifully made and provide excellent protection, but they will not replace my standard snap-on plastic lens cap for everyday photography use, as I find that screwing a lens cap on and off is too time consuming and cumbersome. Of course, the polarizer and UV filter can be used with any standard snap-on lens cap - you don't have to use the screw-on lens caps.
These filters come beautifully packaged in a foil-stamped, hinged cardboard gift box. Included is a K&F branded microfiber drawstring bag. They would make a great gift for a photographer, provided you know what size filter they use for their lenses.
These are excellent quality filters and well worth the price, so I highly recommend them."

Excellent idea to put the kit in a compact case that protects them very well and that I can now carry in the same camera bag. What makes me happy is that I can add new filters in the same case instead of carrying a big box for each filter.
Very happy with this new presentation, highly recommended.
