K&F Concept 82mm TRUE COLOR Variable ND2-32 ND Filter and CPL Circular Polarizing Lens Filter 2 in 1 for Fader Camera Lens Neutral Density Polarizer Filter (Nano-X Series)

Not had a chance to use it yet but it looks very good quality for the price but going off other reviews I'm sure I will be very happy with this filter.

K&F are renowned for producing high quality photographic filters and the True Color variable ND (“VND”) with a strength of 2 – 32 (i.e. 1 – 5 stops) filter is no different.I ordered the K&F VND for video work rather than stills photography where having the 1 – 5 stops is perfect for keeping the 180 degree shutter rule when I am out shooting run and gun style. The K&F VND filter negates the need to having to mess around with having to swop out several filters which is ideal for my shooting style.The build quality of the K&F VND is superb. It is made from top quality materials that are well machined and nicely finished. The rotating mechanism is tight enough to stay in place and avoid being moved by accidental knocks but not so tight it is difficult to rotate. In addition, the rotating mechanism is really smooth, which is needed for neat transitions.The K&F VND has a protruding tab, rather than the conventional serrated edges, which makes adjusting this filter super quick and easy. This tab means I can focus on the screen and what I am doing rather than fumbling around trying to change the setting.In my experience all filters affect the image quality to some degree and the K&F VND is no different. The reduction in image quality is minimal when using the K&F VND for video work and it is barely noticeable, even when using the filter at the strongest 5 stop setting. One thing I will say about the K&F VND is that there are no colour casts, at any setting, so the “True color” in the product description is accurate.At £71.99 (at the time of review) the K&F True Color VND filter isn’t cheap, and is actually priced at the higher end of the market. This is to be expected and I think it is always worth to dig a bit deeper for quality filters to maintain the best image quality rather than use cheaper and inferior filters that are going to affect the image quality and potentially render the footage unusable. Using the K&F VND I can shoot with the confidence the image quality of my footage is going to be virtually as good as using no filters at all.Overall, the K&F True Color VND is an excellent filter and one I highly recommend for capturing video footage. It is tough and durable. It is well made and has a smooth action. The protruding tab makes changing settings quick, efficient and fuss free. Okay, it’s on the expensive side but it is definitely worth the extra and very good value for money.Disclaimer: I am privileged enough to be part of the Amazon Vine program and as such I have the opportunity request products that I would find useful/potentially buy to road test in exchange for an honest review. I am not paid for this and all of my reviews are unbiased and based on my own experience.

The media could not be loaded. The filter is really good quality made.But I returned it because when you adjust the ND density, then the CPL ring rotates too and doesn't keep the position you set. This small thing makes this filter unusable.
