72mm ND1000 (10-Stop) ND Filter, Super Slim 28 Multi-Layer Coatings - Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.1005
An ND1000 filter is particularly interesting for landscape photography. This can be used to draw waterfalls softly, for example. For this I used this filter a few times on vacation and was not disappointed. I've attached a sample photo. (River with lateral water drainage) The image quality is consistently the same over the entire photo. The darkening is also even. Have fun taking pictures!

This filter enables me to get dark picture effects when the sun is shining. Often times, stopping down does not produce the desired effect and the shutter speed is simply too short despite all efforts. With this filter it is possible to take long exposures with a reasonable aperture in bright light conditions. I am very satisfied with this filter and have no complaints whatsoever. At dusk the filter darkens too much and I would use a less intensive ND filter. This filter is my recommendation for hobby photographers! ... no idea whether a professional needs something else !?

I am a complete newcomer to long exposure during the day. And I have to say that I am very excited. For me it is definitely sufficient and an alternative to high-priced angular filter systems. I'm only doing it as a hobby and that's enough. Think the pictures speak for themselves. Can unreservedly recommend the ND filter!

Works perfectly. I haven't noticed any colour casting, nor does it appear to have any effect on the sharpness of the image. Perfect for long exposures to get that smooth, glass-like water effect. At this price, you really can't go wrong!

A decent ND1000 82mm filter provided with an excellent carry case.I found this filter excellent when properly screwed on to my lens, vignetting was visable when not properly fitted. It is quite shallow which also helps here.Shots displayed are taken with Nikon Z6 & 14-30mm S line lens I had to stop down to F10 for 20secs & F13 20secs both shots ISO 50 to avoid blowing out the sun, shadows recovered in post processing.The filter was very easily wiped clean after being splashed by a wave, I think the coating definitely helped here.I am quite pleased with the product its defintely much better than my old 72mm

The price point of the ND1000 filter is very reasonable considering the quality of this item. It's very slim and causes no vignetting on my Canon 16-35 L at 16mm. The colours are faithful and it allows for a decent length of shot in daylight.

Recently bought this ND1000 filter. On unboxing found the build and finish of the product to be very good. It also comes with a very robust travel case, to protect and keep the filter clean.I have used the filter a couple of times (see attached photo), whilst I am not completely happy with the photo, I believe this is down to me and camera settings. I am completely happy with the filter.A recommended buy

Like others, I am wary of cheap filters, especially specialist ones, but this big stopper alternative delivers very well. Used first time yesterday in less than ideal conditions, dull overcast and calm, so not a lot of movement to blur out. But very happy with the image quality, images remained sharp where no movement. Very happy with it.

Don't see why I should spend over £100 for a 10 stopper of any of the big brands when this one does the job just fine! No unwanted tints or reduction in image quality that I can see (image attached is taken with this filter and any tints or hues are added in post production). Highly recommend!

The filter is really good, it seems to be a real 10 stop filter (some ND1000 are only 8-9 stops, which makes shutterspeed calculations hard), it is reducing light in both Visible and Infrared light (has been tested on a full spectrum camera used for Infrared Photography), so you will not have a nasty discolouration in the sky as with other ND filters, but you will get a slight blue colour cast, nothing that can not be fixed in post process with the white balance tool, but I highly recommend doing a white balance setting with the filter on to get accurate colours, especially if you are shooting in JPG. I did not see any reduction in detail (see the 100% or 1:1 crop). It easily screwed on my lens and step up rings as well. It has a nice grippy area which I find giving a much better grip than other filters. One thing I'd like to mention is the case it's coming with has a nice locking mechanism and also two carve outs to be able to easily remove the filter from it's case, actually it's one of the best cases I've seen, beating the nice metallic cases from Gobe, which does not close well with larger filters.If colour cast is a critical issue for you then this filter might disappoint you with it's blue cast, in that case I recommend Haida's NanoPRO ND1000, which I unfortantely lost, but that has virtually no colour cast at all, but nearly triple the price.For the price the K&F Concept ND1000 is unbeatable. It has just a very very slight blue colour cast, great IR filtering, true 10 stops and no reduction in picture quality. If you are on a budget and looking for an ND1000, look no further.
