I have an ND 400 that I use for waterfalls etc but do not always want to block that much light so was looking for something a little faster Maybe an ND16.
I have had variable filters in the past but have never been happy the dreaded Xs on the screen when you rotate or uneven colour cast across the screen.
I saw the K&F advertised claiming that you did not get any of thease issues so thought I would try and they are great, very even light reduction across the frame and no Xs.
I have the 77mm filter it is really well made there are stops on the rotation so it it easy to tell where the limits are, the frame itself is slightly larger that the 77mm so no chance of vignetting in the corners, the slight disadvantage of this is I can not seem to fit the filter with my hood in place but not a huge deal.
Highly recommended.

No vignette and very easy to use.. You can feel it on your hand and easy to adjust. Have some stops in both ends so much better than many other solutions

I knew as soon as I opened the envelope I had bought a quality item. Inside the gorgeous black outer box is a round acrylic container which flips open at the press of a button. The Filter rests on its foam bed. It looks like quality, it feels like quality.Anyone that shoots video using a DSLR knows about camera settings and the limitations this creates in brightly lit environments. This can become a bigger problem if, like me, you like to shoot with the aperture wide open on a fast lens. It was almost impossible to do outside scenes on brighter days. To say I’m very pleased is an understatement.Pros:High quality, no dreaded X or aberrations and it only cost £36. I expected a lens of this quality to cost much much more.Cons:To be honest, there aren’t any. No, I can’t put the lens cap on when the filter is in place, but it’s no big deal to unscrew it and place it back in its case.I am just an amateur film maker so my word counts for nought among photographers. From a film maker’s point of view, however, this is a great bit of kit to have in your bag and for the money, you can’t go wrong.

I’m always dubious when it comes to filters as I have seen some cheap ones in that past that really degrade image quality. This neutral density film seems really good though.It seems well made and screws on nicely on my canon EF-M lenses. The twisting adjuster works easily and smoothy and has the various stops marked on it.Performance is really good too. There doesn’t seem to be a vignette or any other visible marks or patches on photos. The photos seem to be just as sharp and have the same quality as when shooting without the filter. I can’t tell any difference. It comes in a nice holder although this is way bigger then the filter itself.The range of stops on the filter is good too and helps to slow things down for some major motion blur. It also works well for open aperture video. For the price I am really impressed with the quality and results.
