Although opinions differ on this, I personally like to use UV filters as protective filters to protect my lenses from scratches, dirt and other external influences. It is important to choose a filter with a good coating, otherwise the image quality will suffer.
The K&F Concept "Nano-X" UV filter is - as far as I can tell - very low in reflection. I tested it in various backlit situations with and without a filter and could not see any significant differences even in the 100% view. Otherwise, water and dirt roll off the coating and cleaning is super easy. In that respect, I really like the filter.

I have a number of K&F filters; and this one is the cream of the crop. The coating is not the green haze I see on most of my other UV filters; but more clear- there is very little light reflected. Build quality is also very good, it has nice knurled edges to help install / remove the filter. It is not the thinnest, so I wouldn't use on wide angle lenses so as to prevent vignetting. Comes with a very nice hard plastic case that can fit up to ~92mm outside diameter filters. Threaded right onto my vintage lens to protect that irreplaceable glass.

I have many products from K&F Concept. At this point most of my walk around lens filters are made by them. I get consistently good quality and performance from each of this filters, and this design is no exception. The multicoatings work really well to reduce glare and reflections and short of looking at the sun, the coatings do really work. I can't really speak to these being ":ultra-low reflectivity" as the filter seems to have multi coatings similar to my other K&F Concept products. Overall, this is a good choice for protecting lenses that are carried around, like during travel or doing family photography etc.

I am fan of the K&F Filters as they are made very well and they come in really nice round plastic cases for protection. All at a reasonable price compared to the high end filters. I honestly don't care to spend so much for those high end filters so theses have become my go to lens filters.
I got this 77mm Ultra-Low Reflectivity MCUV Lens Protection Filter more for protection of my lens while hoping to help filter out some of the glare from possible over exposed or really sunny captures. This does seem to help with that along with it being able to protect the lens from scratches. I am not real picky so for me it does the job and have no need to spend a fortune for something else that may be similar and more expensive.
The quality is good plus its thin and has ribs for ease of screwing onto my NIKKOR lens.

I'm not a professional photographer so I can't offer an in-depth comparative review. As a novice, though, I'm really happy with my order. The listing made it really easy to figure out what size to order. The filter fit my Nikkor DX lens perfectly. The filter came in a nice protective case for situations when I don't want the filter on the lens. I'm still experimenting with it but am enjoying the results of this UV filter.

This UV filter lives on my workhorse zoom lens. There’s no color degradation, vignetting or anything. I keep this filter on to protect my lens from any scuffs and/or scratches since I work a lot of events and concerts with lots of traffic, having this filter on gives me piece of mind. K&f always budget friendly with good quality

Filter appears to be very good quality, and well made. It easily screwed onto my Nikkor lens, and my lens cap snaps over it perfectly. It appears to be true neutral density; I checked my auto aperture and speed settings under a few different lighting conditions, and the readings were the same with and without the filter. Test photos were very sharp. I mostly do outdoor photography and usually use a polarizer, but under conditions when that's not suitable, I'll be using this filter primarily for lens protection. The included filter case is very nice and will hold a much larger filter than the 67mm size I use but is a little large to carry around. All in all, I'm very satisfied.

This is a very well made UV filter. It fits my go-to canon 24-105mm lens perfectly. A UV filter can come in handy for many photo opportunities to help get that great shot. And having a filter over an expensive lens can keep it from getting damaged. This is a great filter for both of those reasons.

This review is for:
K&F Concept 67mm UV Filter Ultra Low Reflection Protection Lens Filter, Slim Lens HD Optical Glass 28-Layers Coating Scratch-Resistant, Ultraviolet Protector Filters for DSLR Cameras (Nano-X Series)
I'm looking for:
- Coatings that filter out unwanted frequencies
- Low/ non-reflective coatings
- Easy to clean
- Good fit-and-finish of the ring
- Reasonable price
- Functional case for storage/ transport
In all aspects, this filter measures up! Nothing more need be said.
Additional considerations:
- Slim design. This is usually a benefit unless a filter gets stuck! If a filter gets stuck, wrap a rubber band around it to help turn it.
- The case is a one-size-fits-all: For the 67mm filter I ordered, however, it's a lot of case. May actually turn into a benefit if I ever need to borrow the case for other filters.
This filter ticks all the right boxes. Worth considering. Recommended accordingly.
