I was reading reviews for other ND filters and found this one for the price to work great for what i will be doing. The build quality is really nice, it has some weight to it so it feels strong, the glass is really clean and it works perfect, I got this for my 35mm 1.8 and it allows me to take pictures and shoot video in full daylight at a wide aperture of 1.8 with an even balance of blue in the sky to the greens in the grass. I was really impressed with the quality of this filter. I will be getting another one for my 50mm 1.8. I'm using it for mid day long exposures of waterfalls and cloud landscapes. Also this helps give a cinematic look for shooting video which looks really nice! I didn't see any noticeable loss of detail in images or video which is what i was worried about. I did NOT notice any kind of X or shadowing from this filter. It is probably from using a wide angle lens. I highly recommend this ND filter!

UPDATE: I was approached by a company representative and offered a replacement filter. I received it today and did a quick test. This filter seems waaaay better. It doesn't have any shadows in the corners or any black spots when shooting towards a light source. I haven't tried it out in the field yet, but it looks like it'll be alright. Either way, impressive customer service.
ORIGINAL: After reading all the reviews I decided to purchase this filter because my budget was tight. I used it on 24-105 f/4 L lens to take some photos at sunrise and sunset. It's absolutely terrible. There is a black shadow on the right side of the filter that gets stronger with each step. I wish I could return the filter but I've already threw away the packaging:( Will have to throw this filter away as it's completely unusable...

I have used numerous filters, from Cokin, to buying several for different sized lenses. And, I do a serious amount of light and strobe painting (do a you tube search, if you're curious). So, when I dropped my super expensive ND filter, I was crushed! Right up until I found this K&F Concept ND, which offers a "Variable Neutral Density". Imagine looking at purchasing an ND Filter for the Typical four hundred bucks (and, that is only for a single fixed ND number)? Oooor, grabbing this well constructed, high quality ND filter that you can adjust to your liking ON THE FLY! Still thinking...
Buy it Bonehead!

This filter is the bomb! I use it in broad daylight to slow down shutter for that cinematic look. My videos have been coming out nice as of lately. This is actually my second time purchasing this same filter for a different camera. Highly recommended for those who want to master their camera & shoot only in manual...

Wide diameter and easy to adjust. Comes in a protective box for transporting it.
I fancied trying some long exposure shots with my smartphone. I already had bought fixed filters but there was no adjustment to them without shooting through several layers of glass. Thought I'd try this one as it was adjustable. It's like having two polarising filters mounted together and is infinitely variable from light to very dark just by twisting the frame.
It does take a bit of fiddling and post editing to get some natural colour back, but it did what I wanted it to and am waiting for some better weather to spend a bit more time tatting with it. Its is big enough to cover all the lenses on the back of the phone with room to spare for hand movement though you do need to hold it very close.
Obviously a tripod is needed and a steady hand is helpful.
It was suitable form my needs and I recommend it.

I use this a professional videographer and it works great to stop the sun over exposing the shots!

I love K&F ND Filters. I don't know if I will ever buy filters from another brand again. This is the third K&F ND Filter I have purchased and I have been extremely happy with all of them.
I have bought filters from extremely cheap to extremely expensive, and these are honestly my favorite ones I have ever used. They are high quality, easy to screw on and off, and have very smooth adjustments.

I didn't have the opportunity to try my new filter until last Saturday. Not only was I pleased when using it with my Nikon D5200 and 62mm Sigma Lens, but I hand-held it in front of the lens on my Sony HX90V while recording a sunset over the Oquirrah Mountains. Wow! The filter worked well on both cameras! No distortion at all. Luv It!

Conventional wisdom says never buy cheap ND filters! Always pay hundreds of dollars! Or you know, get this one (so far great for video in ridiculous sunlight - ISO 200 f/1.7 = crystal clear sky, not a pixel overexposed) and use the money you saved to buy another lens or other peripherals. Fits perfectly with nice, firm threads, the variable spins smoothly, no green hue or blotchy lines that I could see, even at 4k zoomed in, and comes in a cool protective case that fits like a glove in my bag.
I have a tripod and EF to 4/3 adapter from K&F Concepts, and these guys haven't disappointed yet. Quickly becoming one of my favorite companies.
