62mm Circular Polarizers Filter Super Slim with 36 Multi-Layer Coatings, High Definition Circular Polarizing Filter CPL Camera Lens Filter Nano-Xcel Pro Series
SKU: KF01.2312
I've used ND filters from K&F in the past, so I wasn't surprised by the quality compared to newbies. The filters allow sharp focus without restrictions. Thanks to the really extremely thin glass and the thin frame, there is no cloudiness or dark spots at the edges.
The frame has small brackets so that if you want to readjust it, you don't have fingers in the picture.
The whole thing is rounded off by a nice leather storage pouch. Overall, absolutely great!

I am a Professional Home and Personal Chef and I also teach cooking both in videos, directly online and in live streams. I am also an online influencer, Vlogger and commentator. As such, my needs are extensive and many when it comes to cameras, microphones, mixers, input devices to computers, studio, lighting & editing equipment, as well as various control apps. I am picky and critical in reviewing and care little about brand names or product claims. If they are good, I will praise and recommend them, and if not, I will fully explain my reasoning for saying so. Honesty is my reviewing policy!
I have become a big fan of K&F and their filters. Even their lower-end filters perform brilliantly, but THIS one takes the cake! It's an absolutely superb filter that I would not hesitate to put against the most expensive high-end German filters than cost more the double the price!
The 36 multi-layer NANO-X coating is very evident in the quality of polarized images it produces. The threads on the filter are micro-fine and screw into a lens without any issues whatsoever. The circular adjustment is smooth as silk and effortless.
For me, this is a very versatile CPL lens at 67mm that many of my Sony, Sigma, and virtually all of my Tamron lenses use! I have tested mounting and removal on every compatible lens with a single issue.
This is the highest quality level of K&F Filters (NANO-X PRO). It comes with a 2-year warranty, and a manual is available online. They add a Microfiber cleaning cloth in a sealed pouch in the box as a nice bonus. Thoughtful!
The filter comes secured in a VERY nice faux leather overlap storage pouch. Clearly well thought-out.
Don't be put off by its Chinese Manufacture! It is super high-end and exceptionally well designed and produced. The company has won a number of INTERNATIONAL awards for design and their patented products are available in 56 countries.
This is truly an amazing filter for the price offered on K&F Concept. It is clearly the BEST CPL filter I have ever used over the years...including those from well-known and very expensive German manufacturers.
The filter and the inclusions rate an unequivocal STRONG FIVE STAR rating from me, along with my honest and VERY hearty recommendation! You cannot go wrong with this filter if you need a CPL!
Simply SUPERB!
Happy Shooting!

I used this for an Iceland trip and was able to capture some phenomenal images when it was on my glass (primarily a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 with a Sony a7ii).
The ring itself is a little stiff, but that's great for a polarizer - means you have one less thing to worry about when framing your shot in that this won't turn a few degrees on you. In terms of negative impacts to image quality, I can't notice many but I'm not exactly a pixel peeper.
For my uses, this fit the bill!

First of all, I was pretty impressed with the packaging this filter came in.It’s good to see that at this price point, exceptional-quality packaging is used to protect this gear which is relatively expensive for what it is. It’s just a piece of glass right? Well, actually no. I found that it functions best, at least in my application, for reducing glare of windows, windshields, water, and basically anything that has a reflection. I can shoot video on a car and eliminate the distracting elements of trees passing by, or just the environment in which the car is in.This is truly a beautiful piece of glass, and you don’t have to worry about it “downgrading” your footage or photos. It’s definitely more of an upgrade.

I recently purchased the K&F Concept 67mm Circular Polarizers Filter Super Slim with 36 Multi-Layer Coatings and I'm so impressed. It's amazing how much of a difference this filter makes to my photos - in terms of clarity, sharpness and colour vibrancy. It's super slim, yet incredibly strong and durable. I love the 36 multi-layer coatings which give me amazing results every time. The images are crystal clear, thanks to the high definition coating. The colors come out vibrant and the polarizing effects are stunning.

The K&F Concept 77mm Circular Polarizers Filter Super Slim with 36 Multi-Layer Coatings, High Definition Circular Polarizing Filter (CPL) Camera Lens Filter (Nano-X PRO Series): Is one of the finest quality filters I've used. Everything about this is premium. From the packaging to the filter wallet to the product itself is top notch. It has a brass powder-coated frame and high quality, crystal clear optics. A filter I don't feel too bad putting in front of my best glass. The threads are precisely machined and screw in and out very smoothly. The CP rotation feels impossibly, buttery smooth. Like its hydraulic but it's not, it's just a ridiculously smooth action. Like a high quality potentiometer. The knurling feels very nice, and over all the whole thing feels really great in the hand. As far as the polarization effect it works as it should and as expected, and with crystal clear optics. The included filter wallet is made from suede and heavy denim, with a pull ribbon to retrieve the filter with out stick your fingers down the pouch. The whole thing is rather lux. The packaging itself is a very classy, thick black box, with gold accents. the box also turns into a picture frame. The package also contains a microfiber cloth. Overall this is a very deluxe filter. It is a bit pricey, however the quality meets the price for sure. You get what you pay for sometimes and this is one of those times. You don't want to buy top quality lenses, costing thousands of dollars, and put a cheap filter on it. This is the type of filter you can feel good using on your best lenses. Precision machining and great quality glass.

I shoot professional gear and don't mind paying for products that produce first class results, are durable, and are simple to use. This filter meets my criteria for a professional quality photography product.The optics are high quality. I don't see any aberrations in the resulting images. Mechanically, the movement of the filter is very smooth. We'll see how it does with some weather and grit, but I expect it will continue to operate well. I put this up against the very best I have used and never look back. This company has produced an excellent, professional quality filter.

Yeah you pay for it, but I’ve seen filters a lot more expensive that didn’t look as nice or work as well.After testing this I’ve seen absolutely no optical distortion whatsoever. It is a beautiful polarizing filter that is precision made as you can get. The threads are very easy to screw into the lens and the ring turns with buttery smoothness. This allows you to get any sort of Grady action you want to you in terms of polarization. This mechanism, the simple, is incredibly precise.The glass is absolutely perfectly flat as much as I’m able to measure it. And even using the laser test I saw no distortion whatsoever.This is supposed to have some kind of nano coating that makes it scratch resistant and also shed water much easier. I really hope not to test this.Every filter by this company has been first class all the way. Absolutely professional quality in this one is no different. I have a $300 German made polarizer and I don’t think you can tell the difference. I also have some other expensive ones that are not nearly as good as this.As for the German one, they look identical and they feel identical. And that’s at half the price. This company makes some first class stuff. I won’t have a reservation ever buying a K&F filter.

Since the filter was positioned as a member of their flagship lens filter line I definitely had already high expectations in the K&F Concept Nano-X PRO CPL filter.It certainly made its first impression while unboxing it -- it comes in a stylish box and inside that box is an elegant leather filter carry case.But more important is of course what it delivers in front of a lens. And that is indeed amazing: I tested it on different lenses, a 70-200 mm lens and on a 35mm. Based on physics of a CPL filter in general it is not advised to go wider than 24mm.I found no distortion problem; reflection and glare get well mitigated; no vignetting or spots, or dark areas detected within the focal lengths mentioned. Also, of course, keeping a certain angle towards the sun will determine the outcome.That is definitely a high-end filter and I think K&F has made it into the professional market and its expectations.I was happy with the test results and can recommend this filter, it is a well-worth investment, and my motto is 'better no filter at all than a cheap and bad filter'.
