Overall a pretty good quality CPL filter. The additional lens cap, lanyard, and cleaning cloth are a nice bonus, too. The filter rotates quite smoothly, and screws on to my lens well. The glass is pretty clear, and doesn't seem to cause too much softness, although there still is a bit compared to no filter. The reduction in glare and sky darkening effect is quite significant, and is great for taking pictures of more stationary things. I wouldn't recommend these too much if you're taking pictures of moving objects, though, as panning the camera will change your angle with respect to the sun, and therefore will change the strength of the polarizing effect.

This isn't something that I use often in my line of work as a wedding photographer but when I've needed it this is the polarizer that I've been going to in a pinch vs the one I was using prior to this. Easy to put on and the quality of the filter is fantastic. The glass is clean so I don't feel I lose quality when using this filter.

I recently got my first modern digital camera, a Canon R50 with a kit lens, along with an RF 24-240 lens. I'm a bit of a klutz and had immediately picked up a K&F UV filter for my lens as damage protection. It has modestly helped for removing haze in SF Bay landscape shots but has added some ghosting to low-light shots (common to UV filters) and is mostly unnecessary in modern digital camera... As I mentioned, I keep it on to protect my expensive lens.
As soon as I saw this CPL I ordered it so that I can swap between them, depending on the situation. If I'm shooting at/around water, or at/through glass I put this filter on to get better, clearer shots.
I'm still working on my photographer's eye but, so far, I've not noticed any added distortion to color or clarity.
As for fitment/build quality it feels very premium for the price point. It doesn't bend or flex when I don't thread it just right, so I haven't mis-threaded it after 10-15 installs. The hydrophobic properties are good, too - I got caught off guard by a sprinkler and the filter shed all but a couple tiny beads of water that easily came off with a microfiber cloth in one swipe.

It cancels out glare on shiny surfaces very well. I use it to take photos of vehicles and I can cancel out the reflection produced by the car windows and take clearer photos of the interior.

So far, I've had good luck with K&F Concept products, and this polarizing filter seems to be a good choice, as well. I recently got a camera cage for my GoPro 12, and it has a regular round filter attachment for 52mm filters. Since I have two DSLR lenses that also use the 52mm size, I've been on the hunt for some decent filters that will work with the lenses and GoPro.
The filter is slim, but not as slim as some. Fortunately, I haven't seen any vignetting except in the GoPro's widest mode, which I expected. The filter rotates easily to dial in the polarizing effect is feels smooth. I also appreciate the bonus lens cap.
I haven't done extensive testing, but the filter appears to not alter the colors much, other than the natural color enhancements inherent to polarizing filters. Overall, I'm happy with this filter and have found it is much easier to use than the little square filters made specifically for GoPro cameras.

The biggest issues I know about with K&F filters is color casting and/or poor image quality at extended zoom. I tested this filter on Tamron lenses from 20mm to 200mm with a 64MP sensor and to my eye neither of these issues are present. I'm not going to be spending a bunch of time pixel peeping and over analyzing because that's well beyond my level of caring. I'm getting the same level of detail in plant leaves with the filter on and off with the only noticeable difference being reduced glare. I'm happy with the filter and the 67mm option means I can use across a variety of Tamron Sony lenses.

This filter works great! Very clear and appears to be distortion free. Also, I don't notice any tinting with this filter. I think overall this is a good value. I don't use this on every shot, but when I do it's worth it's weight in gold.
Easy 5 out of 5 stars for quality and value.
