It looks good and does what it says on the tin - when you rotate it, it acts like polarized sunglasses, filtering out reflections on water and bright skies, making your film or photo image look more artistic. Well made, easy to rotate and adjust.

Having recently purchased a new lens to be used primarily for landscape work, I ordered this polarizing filter. In the past I have purchased several K&F filters with no issues. The nice thing about these inexpensive filters is that they also serve to protect the lens from damage. I have found that with this filter and the other K&F filters I own, there have been no issues when I clip them onto my lenses or getting stuck when removing them. If you want to take photos with bluer skies or reduced glare, this filter is for you. Be patient though, the more you use this filter, the more you will appreciate the results. It was also a nice touch that a lens cap, lanyard and lens cloth were included in the package. With these little extras, this could make a nice gift whether it be for a birthday, Christmas or just if you want to help someone improve their photography skills. Report

like this polarizer, it reduces light on my Sony by a couple of stops, but it's not as strong as I expected for a $20 polarizer. It's pretty clear with very little distortion, although I don't compare it to a test chart to be completely sure it's uniform. I like that it includes a lens cap and sealed microfiber cloth. One issue I had with this filter is that the threads bind a little with my high end black and white filter. This is why I never test cheaper filters with my bear lens threads. I also had trouble fitting both the original 72mm cap and my own Sony 72mm cap, so something must be off with the shape of the filter. All in all, it's really not a bad filter. For all I know, the issues I had may have been due to shipping, although the filter appears to be in perfect condition.

This is a quality filter and works well. It is made with the same quality and precision that I have come to expect from K&F. It fits my Sony lens well, as do all the other K&F filters I own. This one is definitely worth a try.

This is a really solid CPL filter. It actually has varying degrees of ND filtration and no noticeable vignette. As always, K&F delivers with another solid product. The upside to this filter is that it wasn't difficult to remove from the lens like many other filters I've tried from K&F. The only thing I wish it had is a knob to help rotate the filter.

tested this 82mm polarizing filter for photo output on different lenses, natively or via step-up rings. It screws on and off without any problem as long as it is not at an angle. I have put it on and removed it a good fifteen times without the slightest problem, so the filtering is good. As with any CPL filter of this type, there is a rotating part to adjust the intensity. The thickness is conventional, the grip is very good, the optical treatment too. The 82mm lens cap is a big plus, especially if, like me, we use a filter on several lenses of different diameters, it holds well. The mini lanyard that comes with it probably won't be useful, I don't know anyone who leaves their cork hanging on the end of the lens anyway. And as a bonus, it comes with a microfiber cloth, I have dozens of them but they are of high quality so it is always welcome. For €48 at the time of this review, we have a CPL filter that falls between the entry-level and the pros, but this model still does the job perfectly.

The filter fits perfectly with my Canon EOS 2000D 58mm lens and allows for effortless attachment and removal. The resulting photos are exactly what I hoped for and the filter works great. As I got into nature and plant photography, I discovered the value of the filter in full sunlight. It helps capture the right density, regulate exposure, improve contrast and minimize glare and reflections. On bright days, this filter has become my favorite accessory. Along with the filter, you also get a lens cap, storage case, lanyard and microfiber lens cleaning cloth, all of which are much appreciated. Overall, this filter set offers great value for money and is a top-notch offering from K&F Concept.

This polarizer seems to be of good quality. It comes with a cloth and a lens cap. Interesting if you tend to lose the cork

Screwed onto my 58mm UV filter that is already on the lens. I usually use it like that. But I unscrewed the UV thread and applied the CPL directly to the threads of the lens, very nice smooth threading. K&F Concepts creates and produces many excellent products and this seems to be one of them. My only gripe is the lens cap. It keeps slipping off my fingers, both the inner and outer ones, and when I take it off it collides with the filter. I checked the glass and it looks OK, but when I use the lens cap I feel that one day if it slips off it will scratch or break the glass. This bothers me. OK, problem solved I won't use the cap even though it is part of the package I paid for. And it is impossible to get the black string of the orange cap holder in through the small hole in the cap. Canon's cap works fine on the CPL. Very expensive for a CPL filter with a cap that is difficult to remove. That doesn't make it bad for me with two stars, but close...
