As a long-term hobbyist photographer, I'm always interested in the new photographic "tools" that are being advertised. I enjoy photographing landscapes, which may include sunrises, sunsets and photos of streams and waterfalls. Other photographers understand how excess light and glare can make good photo results/outcomes more of a challenge.

I was especially interested in this K&F Concept ND filter, because it was advertised as VARIABLE in adjustment (ND 2-32)! The product arrived in very good/secure manufacturer packaging, and the contents included the variable ND filter, as well as 3 sealed micro cleaning cloths. I ordered the filter in 82mm as this will give me greater available lens size options when using the variable ND filter; I have step up rings, which allow me to use filters that are larger in diameter than the actual lens installed on my DSLR cameras.

The machining for this lens filter is obviously of higher quality. Fine mounting threads reveal absolutely no burrs and no seizing or grittiness in feel while installing or removing the filter from lenses. The filter finish appears flawless in matte black and includes an area of the circumference that is slightly serrated/grooved, which allows for easier gripping of the outside of this ringed ND filter.

The variable ND capability allows for significant filtering outcomes for my photography projects given the ND 2-32 filtering levels available (see photos). I heartily recommend this economical, practical/useful K&F Concept variable ND filter to other photographers using DSLR and mirrorless camera systems.
