I really love the uses for portraits and remove reflected from skin, especially darker Melanated skin. I keep Polaroid and Kate in my bag at all times and it’s polarizing filter easily. The best one I ever got doesn’t stick like other ones in my kit sometimes they stick to my lenses not have a hard time removing it. This one is very easy to remove, and the focusing or rendering of the polarizing filter is Very smooth.

I’ve had a generally good experience with K&F filters and this is no exception. The polarizer works well for my automotive shoots and doesn’t add some crazy cast over my images. It doesn’t feel cheap and performs as it should.

While my particular polarizer did seem to have a blemish that caused it to not work with my camera lens, K&F were very quick to offer support and refund my purchase. I value this empathy for the customer very highly and was completely impressed by K&F in that regard.

I used this for an Iceland trip and was able to capture some phenomenal images when it was on my glass (primarily a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 with a Sony a7ii).The ring itself is a little stiff, but that's great for a polarizer - means you have one less thing to worry about when framing your shot in that this won't turn a few degrees on you. In terms of negative impacts to image quality, I can't notice many but I'm not exactly a pixel peeper.For my uses, this fit the bill!

I dislike the fact that my lens cap no longer stays in, and I can’t remove the filter from my camera now that it is in.I attempted to contact K&F and the webpage is not available.Just a little frustrated right now.Hopefully someone will get back to me before I can no longer return it. That is if I will even be able to remove it to return it.

I started photography back in the film days, when digital post processing was not an option. Consequently, filters were a must. I have always had circular polarizers available for all of my landscape and outdoor workglass. The K & F Concepts CP is relatively expensive, but why buy high end lenses and skimp on the filters?The packaging and presentation is befitting the high quality glass enclosed. This filter is simply the best quality polarizer I have used to date. I highly recommend this item, it is worth the price, and you will not be disappointed.

This is a really nice polarizer and it works fantastic, as you would expect at this price point. It really just looks and feels high quality. Just be very careful when installing that you don't crossthread it, because I apparently did and now the filter is stuck on my lens :-( I will be leaving it on all the time because the camera shop I took it into said they are likely to break the filter trying to remove it. I don't think that is a fault of the filter though, just me not paying enough attention when I was putting it on.

Tested for video on my VG30 and works like a charm. It comes with a nice carrying case. Remember: You need to install on the front of your lens and then turn clockwise or counterclockwise so you can align properly and get the elimination of reflection that you are looking for.

I'm really no expert when it comes to filters, but of the dozen or so I own this is far and away the highest quality. You can feel the build quality the moment you screw it to the lens. It's incredibly lightweight but doesn't feel at all flimsy, and the threading allows for super smooth application and removal.I use polarizing filters more than any other as I live in a country that has near constant sunshine, so I've had plenty of chances to test this filter since I received it. The results have been just as good as I'd expect given the price. This thing beats the pants off my cheaper filters.
