Brilliant, versatile, innovative…but not made for sunshades.
I wholeheartedly recommend this product; I bought a full range of sizes for my various lenses, and adore them. They’re effectively a second f-stop option, easy to use and durable. Photographers reliant on sunshades be warned, though: my fujifilm lens set makes an accompanying sunshade highly impractical. As I learned to use these filters, I have only appreciated them more, despite needing to awkwardly reach into my light baffle (doesn’t work with bigger lenses or deeper recesses) to manually adjust the neutral density. Still, these filters have offered significant light control and should be considered for any photographer wanting more precise exposures than those offered by even my nearly-top-of-the-line TX-4’s ISO, f-stop, and shutter-speed’s manual options. Their logistical drawbacks are minimal, and the added ease/maneuverability of losing the sunshade is well worth it. Will consider this add-on a must-have for all future lenses.

Awesome!
I love this filter! I’m running it on my 58mm cannon EFS lenses on my t7 and I have the CPL as well I did a longer review on though I have more time with that one. I’m a semi professional photographer and I was looking for a budget friends filter and this right here takes the cake. Comes with hard locking case with foam, threads on nice, spins nice, colors nice no distortion or anything. I run in manual mode only so I can’t speak on auto or any other settings but definitely worth the investment

Great VND filter with one issue
This ND filter was great and I was able to get some amazing long exposure shots with it!But, if you have an ultra wide angle (15mm, 16mm, etc), which most people use to take landscape photography, you start having this vignette around the 4 corners of your image. They are not a big problem if you’re simply taking quick shots since they can be cleaned up in post using Lightroom or Photoshop.However, if you do long exposures trying to capture motion such as water surface of a lake or a waterfall, those vignette or stick around there and you basically won’t be able to get any usable data in the corners of your image. For many of my landscape shots I had to resort to cropping in to get rid of the vignettes which still resulted in an amazing shot, but defeats the purpose of me shooting at 15mm.The filter also seems to distort the natural colours a bit but it wasn’t a huge deal since it didn’t mess up my colours that much.I do love the little features like having stops at the min/max range of the filter so you don’t turn past what it is capable of.

Awesome ND filter!
This filter is great. I've used it on both my DSLR and my mirrorless camera and it works perfectly with both. The ND2-ND32 range is perfect for most situations, and the 28 multi-layer coatings make sure that there is no cross-talk between the filters. The build quality is excellent, and the fact that it is waterproof makes it even better. Highly recommend!

Tamron 70-180
Build is EXCELLENT, bought this to use with the Tamron 70-180mm. Pushes the contrast a bit too much for me when shooting portraits so unsure if I can recommend for that use case.Also it’s important to note if you’re shooting with this lens, the TAMRON 70-180mm, the lens hood WILL NOT fit while this filter is mounted.

Great filter overall
This is my first rotating ND filter. I bought this for my Canon R5 kit lens (24-105mm lens). It works well for landscape and pretty much anything outdoors. I generally do not go beyond about ND16 so I have not yet noticed the dreaded "X".The one complaint I will levy is that it produces a vignette at every stop. However, this is easily fixable in Photoshop or other photograph editing software.While not a really valid complaint, I cannot use my lens hood. But a hand functions fine in place of it.

Overall very good quality for the price!👍
Product: 58mm Variable ND2-ND32Description: The rim of the filter is made out of what I'd assume is aluminum, coated matte black, (which has a nice weight to it, and has hard stops at ND2 & ND32). The rim itself is actually fairly nice. It's easy to put on, and easy to take off due to the wide ridged design around the base of the filter. The high index optical glass is indeed nano coated to protect against water/oils from fingerprints, rain, & etc. Which are easily removed without struggle in my testing with a clean micro fiber cloth (not included). The glass itself has a slight yellow tint to it (which you can see from the photo comparison), which can also easily be corrected through your cameras auto white balance, or lightroom. The filter also doesn't loose to much detail if adjusted properly which is nice as you will see from the photos, and their description in the next section.Photos: The first four photos of the product were taken without any filters. Though the next two of the black & red mouse pad were to show detail comparisons. These two photos were taken about 1-2ft away, but are cropped to show detail. Which were slighty adjusted to be as equal as possible.Without the filter: F4.0 1/15s. ISO 400ND32: F4.0 1s ISO 400The next 6 photos of the flowers next to the bird bath were taken without adjusting any settings to show the darkness of the filter (F5.6 1/320s ISO 100), in this order: No Filter, ND2 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & ND32 5th stop.Overall: The produce works well, and is well made! I would highly recommend picking one of these up, along with a circular polarizer. Though only notable things I found with the product is that it has a slight yellow tint of the filter, the front thread size of the filter in bigger then 58mm, and the top of the filter very slightly wiggles. Otherwise it gets a solid A from me!Extra: I used a 49mm-58mm step up ring for the filter to fit my Canon 50mm F/1.8Camera/Settings: Shot on a Canon Rebel SL3, with custom white balance settings set to +/-0,+/-0 for raw color quality.

Average product .
ND filter is cheap, not that great to be honest at this price range. You will able to find better than this in Amazon and value for money.Build quality is average.The picture is not that sharp.If you have any ques just ping me in the comment. I will reply to you.

Be careful with your white balance.
I want to like this product, mostly because I watched countless reviews on YouTube like we all do...but this filter definitely adds a bit of warmth, and a tiny green tint, to your image. I highly recommend if you do want to save some dollars and end up purchasing this filter...to purchase a set of white balance cards. It will be annoying, but in order to use this filter you will definitely need to set your white balance for each shot if you want to use this filter. I'm always super anal about my footage so I always make sure I'm using the minimal amount of ND as necessary to reduce unwanted colour cast, etc...but overall it's something to consider. If you're doing videography for fun, sure...no worries. But if you make money with videography, purchase the Polar Pro Peter McKinnon set. I borrowed my friends and it worked flawlessly compared to my K&F

Great photos, must have accessory for exposure photography
Got into photography recently and always wanted to take exposure shots but was unable to do it without this filter after doing some research online. It screws on top of the lens protector and I can even mount my lens cap on top of it.Like the fact that it is adjustable to whatever kind of photos I want to take depending on time of day and sun's position. I took a 2 second exposure shot of Niagara falls and it turned out well. I also added a still photo for comparison.Will be doing more exposure shots I keep getting better every day after trial and error, must buy if you are into exposure photography you will not regret this purchase.

Nice ND Filter
I got these for my trip so that I could do long exposure shots. Sometimes Minimum aperture is not good enough. I used these NDs on mainly max setting and in conjunction with some step down adapters. I figured it's best to get the largest size and then step down so that I can use it with all lenses. I was able to retain 98% of the image quality while use its max setting. One more feature I liked about this was that it did not spin all the way. It only spins half way from Min ND to MAX ND and does not reach any X spot at all. The f stops are also marked on the filter so you know how many stops you are dimming the light by. I did not see any color changes to the images that I got. Over all it was a decent purchase for the money spent. The case is also quiet nice to carry the object around

I would buy it again, 3 reasons why!!
I bought this for my 50mm canon lenses. It works wonderfully. Three reasons I would recommend the product.1) Out of the box, it comes with a carrying case which is really well made and protective.2)The quality of the product itself is well made. It feels sturdy and can last a long time.3)Quality of images I take are really great! There is no dark corners when I take pictures and it is on on 8.0.
