I've been looking for a decent Variable ND Filter for some time now and stumbled across this one from K&F.Having recently purchased a new backpack from the brand and being impressed with the quality, I thought I'd treat myself to this filter. After all it claims to not have the dreaded X that almost all Variable ND Filters have.On first impressions the filter was packaged very well in a hard branded card box. Inside was a plastic clamshell style case, housing the filter safely in a foam material.Getting my hands on the filter, I was amazed with the built quality and overall feel for the price! It feels well put together and durable.Having only briefly tried it on the Canon 80D paired with the EF-S 17-55mm f2.8, there is a small amount of vignetting at 17mm. However this disappears as you zoom in. (The small amount of vignetting can easily be removed in post)Thanks to hard stops at ND8 and ND128 the filter doesn't cause that dreaded X.Pros:- Excellent value for money- Great build quality and usability- Minimal vignetting and colour cast- Nano X glass offers clarity, scratch resistance and waterproofingCons- Case could be sturdier (a metal tin and an insert to hold the filter snug when in the case would have been better)As stated above, my only disappointment is the case. It will keep the filter safe, however the filter does just sit inside on top of a piece of foam allowing it to slide around.All in all another quality product from K&F! I'm certain it won't be my last purchase from this brand!

Great value for the price. Now I can take more pictures during mid day as i can darken the harsh sun. Also good for slow shutter speed photography so you can get the motion blur without the highs blowing out your shot during the day.

I don't normally write reviews but this item brought me so much joy I had to. One of my best purchases ever. Went on a hike to a waterfall and was able to get fantastic photos in midday sunlight. I get to eliminate my half a dozen other ND filters because this single filter does all that and much much more.One downside is it is too thick for my lens hood to fit over the filter. Doesn't matter. The convenience and performance vastly outweigh that downside.

This ND filter maintains the sharpness of the image to an acceptable level, in my humble opinion. There is some colour cast and vignetting, which can be adjusted in post, so it's not that big an issue. The build quality is decent, and it's very easy to clean.The ND8-ND128 is a good range that is suitable for most conditions, both for photography and videography. If you're trying to take long exposure shots in very bright sunlight, you will definitely need an ND filter with at least 10 stops (ND1000 or more).Overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase. It's definitely worth the money.
