82mm Variable ND Filters ND2-ND32 Adjustable Fader Neutral Density Filter MRC 28-Layer NO X Spot Nano X Series
SKU: KF01.1064
This is a good quality variable ND filter. While the marketing says that there is no "X", this is not true with wide-angle lenses (due to physics and such), as I noticed an "X" on (or near) the lowest and highest most settings. Other than those extremes, the filter works great on my wide-angle lens. On a typical non-wide-angle lens you do not have the "X" showing up.
I especially appreciate that they had a 55mm size, as it is an odd size. My Canon mirrorless 11mm - 22 mm lens has the 55mm thread, so this filter is perfect for my needs. I can also use this on my 49mm threaded lens with step-up rings.

I purchased the K&F Concept 52mm Fader ND Filter Neutral Density Variable Filter ND2 to ND32 for my Sony RX100 vii because the camera has no built in ND filters for video.
While I had purchased a 3rd party ND filter adapter ring and separate 52mm ND filters, I found the numerous additional filters were just too much to carry with such a slim and low profile camera.
The variable ND reduces the need to carry 4 additional filters, and I only had to affix the K&F Concept 52mm Fader ND Filter Neutral Density Variable Filter ND2 to ND32 to the adapter ring. Now I only carry 1 ND filter for when I need it, and it does all I need.
With regard to picture/video quality, this filter works great, and I have not had any distortions, rings or Xs when using the variable settings.
It works great!
The Filter comes in a nice box, and within the box is a great plastic case for storage in a camera bag.

I enjoy this filter! I have it on a 24-105 lens that I have pretty much started using exclusively except for a couple of other lenses here and there. I used to shoot all the time with a Sony FS5, and its ND filters were pretty much on this level. The first screenshot is color graded somewhat, and the other screenshot is not graded and from a different camera. I don't think you should compare the two. The important thing for me is to show the versatility you get with your images.

1. If you throw this on your camera it makes your smaller flashes very powerful.
2. I used it for a 30 second exposure at the maximum ND and did find the x was in the image..I used live view and adjusted the shadow to add more depth to the image above where the darker "X" spot existed on the maximum darkness.
3. i will buy from them all the agin..the quality of this tool for me as a professional photographer is perfect. It evens come with alit circular case to tuck into your pocket when it's not needed.
4. It's also brilliant on the lens when using your DSLR for video work! It so much easier to spin the filter to adjust for the exposure instead of messing with your F stop or shutter speed.
Bottom Line..this thing is useful and what a bargain.
I've used very expensive Neutral Density filters in the past and this is better than those.
30 second long exposures at Noon are so much fun..buy this and go play! It's a lot of fun to use.

If you're considering buying one of these things then you are probably already aware of the shutter speed rule to have the most cinematic picture when shooting video...this is obviously impossible to attain in direct sunlight or other bright light without one of these filters! This filter serves its purpose greatly and has a very great build to it. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this product. It doesn’t throw enough of a colour change to make a difference (VERY easily fixed in post), it’s heavy and well built, and the hard stops are amazing. Until you decide to spend $200-300 dollars on a high end professional variable ND, this will do you wonders.
It’s been very helpful for me doing video. I haven’t had any flaring, and when using any SLOG, a simple turn of the filter puts me where I need to be without changing settings (or barely having to). Would definitely recommend and have recommended this product!

I bought this for my 50mm canon lenses. It works wonderfully. Three reasons I would recommend the product.
1) Out of the box, it comes with a carrying case which is really well made and protective.
2)The quality of the product itself is well made. It feels sturdy and can last a long time.
3)Quality of images I take are really great! There is no dark corners when I take pictures and it is on on 8.0.

I shoot with the Fujifillm X-T3 which arguably is the best video camera under $3000. However it lacked the variable ND filters that you would find built in to more professional video camera. I needed some more motion blur and lower my exposure when shooting video and this does it amazingly without any noticeable loss of details and colors. For the price this is a very valuable tool in my arsenal. The build quality is really nice with an all metal construction. The ring itself is smooth and allows for a nice variable exposure change. I really dig this ND filter and I think anyone should take a look at this since the image it produces are pretty clean.

Holy smokes! This thing is a fraction of the price and way better than the SLR 82mm and the Singh-Ray 82mm variable Nd filter I purchased. Seriously did not think a $60 filter would beat out a $400 Singh-Ray. I’m using this on a Sony A7riii with a 24-70 2.8 G Master and there’s no color distortion. There is a very very very slight vignette in the first 2-3 mm of each corner but that’s far less than the Singh-Ray and SLR. Plus there’s no X.
