Overall great filter. I ordered a 82mm size for Canon 15-35 and it has a good thread. The rotating ring itself also has a very nice design that is easy to grip and rotate. Chunky than most. This one also has 28 multi-layer coatings including hydrophobic and scratch resistant properties. Not sure they will make much of a difference. I really appreciate when a lens can be wiped down easily enough without smudging and it's still too new to tell. But let my included photos be your guide. The colors on the table seemed more natural and the wood came out more. Glare was significantly reduced when shooting directly on glass.

love K&F gear and use it often. I have quite a lot of K&F photography gear and I really appreciate it. I already have an ND filter from KNF but that is a circular polarizer and an ND filter. I wanted one that is just a circular polarizer. I already knew this would be a high quality gear and I was not wrong. It fits well and is easy to remove from the lens. There is no or very little sign of vignetting, the lens/filter seems to be of very good quality and I would highly recommend anyone to use K&F gear, for the money it is brilliant.

Great fit, great quality, great results. This is my second K&F polarizing filter. I started using one on my 28mm lens a while back and found that it gave *MUCH* better results than the other, more popular brand filter I had been using. This fits my lens perfectly and securely. The extra parts are handy so I consider them a "bonus item" since the filter is what I'm really looking for.

The biggest problems I know with K&F filters are color rendition and/or poor image quality at extended zoom. I have tested this filter on Tamron lenses from 20mm to 200mm with a 64MP sensor and to my eye none of these issues are present. I won't spend much time looking and analyzing pixels because that is way beyond my level of attention. I get the same level of detail on plant leaves with the filter on and off, with the only noticeable difference being reduced glare. I am happy with the filter and the 67mm option allows me to use it with a variety of Tamron Sony lenses.

Easy to install, packed with extras, and looks great. It's fun to see how this blacks out an IPS LED screen with a filter, but doesn't change anything on an OLED screen on a first test. Rotating the CPL is silky smooth, and given how great live view is on mirrorless cameras, it's just so nice to use filters now. Build quality is great, and the nano size is always a plus. I currently have it on a 77 to 82 step-up filter on some older glass. Since I'm moving from EF to RF glass, I've had to replace some 77mm filters with 82mm filters. This CPL is just right for reflections and just anything a CPL is generally useful for. I like the lens cap they give you for it. The pinch design matches many of the newer covers currently available for OEM lenses.

So far, I've had good luck with K&F Concept's products, and this polarizing filter seems like a good choice too. I recently got a camera cage for my GoPro 12, and it has a regular round filter attachment for 52mm filters. Since I have two DSLR lenses that also use the 52mm size, I was looking for some decent filters that would work with the lenses and the GoPro. The filter is slim, but not as slim as some. Thankfully, I didn't see any vignetting except in the GoPro's widest mode, which I expected. The filter is easy to rotate to adjust the polarizing effect. It feels smooth. I also appreciate the extra lens cap. I haven't done extensive testing, but the filter doesn't seem to change colors much, aside from the natural color enhancements inherent in polarizing filters. Overall, I am happy with this filter and have found it to be much easier to use than the small square filters designed specifically for GoPro cameras.

recently got my first modern digital camera, a Canon R50 with a kit lens, along with an RF 24-240 lens. I'm a bit clumsy and had immediately picked up a K&F UV filter for my lens as damage protection. It helped modestly to remove haze in landscape shots in SF Bay, but added some ghosting in low light shots (common with UV filters) and is mostly unnecessary on modern digital cameras... As I mentioned, I leave it on to protect my expensive lens. As soon as I saw this CPL, I ordered it so I can switch between them depending on the situation. When I'm shooting on/near water or on/through glass, I put this filter on to get better, clearer shots. I'm still working on my photographer's eye, but so far I've noticed no additional distortion of color or clarity. As far as the features and build quality go, it feels very high quality for the price. It doesn't bend or flex if I don't thread it correctly, so I haven't threaded it wrong even after 10-15 installations. The hydrophobic properties are good too - I got caught by a sprinkler and the filter shed all but a few tiny beads of water, which were easily removed with a swipe of a microfiber cloth.

got this for my bird lens which has a UV filter but needs a polarizer. I've been happy with K&F Concept's lens filters in the past so I bought this one. It works great! The threads run smoothly onto my lens with no snags or false starts. The polarizer is multi-coated glass and is clear and clean. No flaws that I can see. The materials it's made from are high quality and seem durable. I've had great luck with products from this company and they have proven their durability. It comes in a plastic case. You also get a microfiber cleaning cloth with it. It enhances my photos of sky scenes. I'm also looking forward to trying to use it to get better pictures of migrating salmon in the river this winter. The polarizer helps a lot with the reflections on the water. That will be my main use other than for bird photography. It really helps make the colors in the sky "pop" and makes my pictures better. I'm not a professional photographer, just a hobbyist. But I think this polarizer is worth buying. I am happy with it.

Another win from the folks at K&F! This circular polarizer is excellent and has thankfully found a place in my camera bag! Sure, I have other polarizers from other manufacturers at 1.5 to 3 times the price and at the end of the day they all do the same thing. It all comes down to the materials, fit and quality of the elements/films/coatings. For the K&F, this ticks all the boxes and is certainly price competitive. The polarizer screwed directly onto my powerful Canon EF 27-70 2.8 L lens as well as my EF 16-36 2.8L without any of the snagging, pulling or dragging that cheap filters tend to have. Once mounted, you can rotate the filter's aperture to adjust the polarization to your needs. I haven't done an extensive study on this to see if there is a color cast or defraction, but I haven't noticed any anomalies when using the filter. And no, it is not permanently attached to my lens as I probably don't need polarization. The filter comes with one of the K&F lens cleaners as well as a spare lens cap (K&F brand) which is a nice spare part. Also comes with a small lanyard. The filter and lens cap come in a reusable, padded plastic storage case for safe keeping. I've included a few photos of the contents of the box.

K&F has been a great company that my husband and I always go to when it comes to camera accessories. We used this brand for a similar filter in the 85mm size and now that we have a different lens we went with the 58mm polarizing filter. It's super thin as they say and it works really well. It helps with exposure movement and portrait shots as less light gets into the lens when you're looking for a moodier vibe and reflections are reduced. Kind of acts like an ND filter and adds a little more contrast and color.
