77mm ND4 ND8 ND64 ND1000 Lens Filter Kit with 28 Layers Multi-Coated HD Optical Glass and 4-Filter Pouch
SKU: SKU.1635
Good price-performance ratio. Good packaging and also imaging performance. Gladly again a filter from K&F.

For the money these are excellent, and the bag they come in is very useful and ideally designed/large to fit in a camera bag while keeping the filters secure. Image quality I have yet to find fault with.

""Measured"" color shifts and ND values using a gray card, LR and flash:
ND4: effectively -1.7 stops, shift of +300K towards warm and a decent magenta color cast (LR -12 towards cyan).
ND8: effective -2.8 f-stops, slight shift of -100K to cold and a slightly tighter magenta cast (LR -17 towards cyan)
ND64: effective -5.9 f-stops, decent shift of -500K to cold, but hardly any cyan/magenta shifts measurable.
ND1000: exactly -10 f-stops. Reasonable shift from -200 to cold and hardly any cyan/magenta shift.
Am very happy with the results and you can still easily correct all these shifts. If you want to work with flash + ambient light and these filters, you should pay some attention to the respective shifts and adjust the flash with gels if necessary. The ND values are also very good to perfect. The sharpness of the lens remains very good (even stacked with three filters).
The workmanship is also great for the price (the threads scratch a bit when screwing), but consider the price. Very good entry into the ND world and new even higher quality filters are not necessary in the near future.
The transport bag also makes a very good and valuable impression. Usual China smell, nothing special more in 2022...."

The ND filter set works exactly as advertised, the light transmission rates are accurate.
As with all ND filters, the higher the number, the more likely you will need to use either MF or AF before using the filter.
The aluminum frames can make it more difficult to remove the filters from the lens.
The filter bag is a very welcome bonus.

I own two old manual only ZOOM NIKKOR lenses adapted to Fuji X, one 80-200/4 and the other 100-300/5.6. Use them for video. K & F are on the cheaper side of the filter market, so they are totally suitable for my purposes and fit the old lenses well. This is a cost effective solution. No complaints about the image quality, although the threaded ring was perhaps more robust and a little better machined, but it is still good enough.

A great set with all the individual filters you need. Color shifts or a deterioration of the image quality I have not noticed. Can therefore only recommend the set.

It was my first experience with gray filters, and having a set was helpful to try different things. I am also very happy with the photos. The bag is indeed handy when you want to quickly change filters to achieve different effects. The bag was one of the reasons why I chose this set (professional photographers please don't laugh:) The resßverschluss on the other hand is plain and simply put: bad. When the bag is attached to a strap, the zipper does not close the bag: before the zipper is closed, and directly behind it is opened again. By zipping back and forth, the bag is also eventually closed again. This was so disappointing that I only give two stars for the overall package.

Addition to the first review, several weeks after purchase.
The company got back to me on their own and sent a replacement/replacement bag. Communication was, shall we say, very unusual, but the company did indeed send the replacement bag. On this one, the zipper works perfectly. Therefore, I am changing my rating to four stars. Maybe I'm just unlucky with the first zipper.

I was nervous buying these as I am very picky about quality and results. After looking at a recent youtube review I bought them. They work great. Little color shift and very close to claimed stop reduction. Consistent. Dont see image quality loss vs lens alone. No significant vignette. Wish lenses in cases rather than pouch. Hard to get out without touching. I bought lens cap set and will leave screwed together in case to resolve this. Great set. Would recommend.

This is a nice set of Neutral Density Filters. Picture quality is excellent. With the four filters and stacking you have the same as 10 filters and they come with a handy carrying case.

I think the filters are great. I had one of these filters before but with the bags it's really good. They are protected and quickly at hand.
