67mm CPL Filter Nano-X PRO Series - HD Ultra-Thin Copper Frame, 36-Layer Anti-Reflection Green Film

The KF-Concept CPL polarizing filter is delivered in high-quality packaging. The filter is also located in a sleeve made of felt/imitation leather with a magnetic closure cap. A microfiber cloth is also included for cleaning the filter. The filter itself is a round filter made of tempered glass in the "slim" version. It is particularly compact and thin, which is particularly useful with compact lenses. The filter works excellently. There are no color fringes, air pockets, color casts or discolorations visible. The polarization effect can be easily and precisely adjusted on the side by screwing the filter. Conclusion At the time of my purchase, this polarizing filter cost EUR 179.00. High-quality glass filters in this quality class are usually significantly more expensive. So I think the price/performance ratio is very, very good. It's not for nothing that KF-Concept named this filter line Flagship - the filter is worth every cent and really is an excellent addition to my existing screw-on filters. So I'm giving it 5 stars and I hope my review was helpful

Appearance as soon as I opened the package, I slowly realized that the price was not only influenced by the polarizer itself. The presentation and packaging are reminiscent of a design product. The polarizing filter comes in a stylish slipcase with a magnetically lockable case. In theory, you could also use the included foldable stand to set up the packaging like a picture frame. Not an option for me personally, but you have to admit that the developers of the packaging went through the design concept from start to finish. It could hardly be more elegant. Personally, I would still prefer a robust hard case, but that's a matter of taste. Regarding the filter: I mainly use my polarizing filters in product photography and occasionally in real estate photography, mainly to combat reflections or to partially eliminate them. Anything I do right when I'm shooting takes less time later in post-processing. As you can see on the test images, you can keep surface reflections in check with a polarizing filter. In the meantime, reflections can also be reduced better with software, but you get easier and better results with a polarizing filter. A polarizing filter is still a must-have in some areas of application. The Nano X-Pro achieved very good results in my test and can keep up well with my existing polarizing filter. I haven't been able to test how well it reduces flares and ghosting, as I'm currently photographing very little landscape and outdoor scenes. For future outdoor use, it comes with the luggage. What I don't like is that the filter ring is a bit too cumbersome to turn. This bothers me, especially when it comes to freehand photography, which I do a lot. On the other hand, a ring that moves too easily is not good either. When the camera is on the tripod, the somewhat difficult turning doesn't bother me at all. As you can see, it's a matter of taste and basically not a negative point. Overall, a very high-quality polarizing filter that is very well made and works very well. On very tough photo trips, I would either pack it in a different case, otherwise I would be too worried about the expensive piece.

I've known K&F for a while now and have one or the other product from them (UV filter and camera backpack). For me, the brand was always technically good value for money and more in the middle price segment. But now they want to know and are penetrating into the high class area. A CPL filter is used for reflective environments such as water, panes and glasses or the sky. Exactly these reflections are taken out here and you manage to take pictures down to the bottom even with clear water. So for me, especially on vacation, it's always a filter. The filter comes very nicely packaged and is a lot of fun unpacking. Anyone who loves unboxing will get their full enjoyment here. The filter comes in a cloth/leather bag. Very nice in itself, but in my opinion a filter sits more snugly in the well-known plastic boxes. The inside of the packaging can be converted into a "picture frame". Funny idea but I think there are nicer ones. But let's get to the filter itself. Here I have to say again that the performance matches the price and is absolutely justified. Flawless workmanship, both on the filter thread, ring and glass. Only the ring is a bit difficult for me personally. If the filter doesn't fit snugly on the lens, it has happened to me that I unscrewed it instead of adjusting it. The glass is of the best quality and the optical performance cannot be distinguished from a CLP filter from the well-known competition. In summary, a very good filter in terms of quality and optical performance. It has weak points in the somewhat loose fixation in the storage bag and the stiff ring. For the price, I really hope that things like this don't happen. So unfortunately I have to deduct a star.

received the polarizing filter for free as part of the Vine program to test. Since mine from another manufacturer is already getting on in years and does not fit my most used lens, I was happy about it. Even the packaging is very high quality and the supplied bag is very well thought out and easy to handle. You can even make a pretty frame out of the packaging. A microfiber cloth for cleaning is also included. The filter does a good job removing annoying reflections and enhancing the colors in the image (green from the grass, blue from the sky and also white against a blue sky). For this reason, the filter is great for landscape photography. Naturally, the polarization filter reduces the light by up to several f-stops. However, this must generally be taken into account when using such filters. However, this is not a problem, especially when taking landscape photos with a tripod. The filter was inexplicably stuck (couldn't find any handling error or wedging) on the lens when first used. That's why I only gave it two stars in the rating. He also does not use force to remove. It could only be removed again using a special tool from a third-party provider. After that I changed the rating to 5 stars. Because the filter lost some color on the frame when I tried it without special tools, but it held up great and still worked great. Now and then I can't get it off when using it. But after I screwed something on the adjustment ring for the polarizing filter, it then came off again. Just not without problems. That's why I'm correcting my rating again! 4 stars this time. It's still a mystery to me why this works. You can hardly grab it because the back ring is so narrow that you can't grab it with your bare hands. In my opinion a design flaw! This high-quality filter offers good value for money.

Is a polarizing filter the same as a polarizing filter? No, that is not so. Polarizing filters polarize to a greater or lesser extent. That shows you the price you pay for it. But there are other things too: A really good filter does not have a light metal frame, because this could twist under pressure when screwing in and the filter could seize up. This polarizing filter has a heavy and precisely made brass mount, the rotary ring to bring the polarizing filter into the right position runs smoothly and smoothly. Additional corrugations on the socket prevent fingers from slipping when turning. This is also bitterly necessary, because the filter is designed as a "slim version" with a very short overall width in order to also be suitable for wide angles. The filter's coating looks impressive and I'm happy to believe that it's particularly effective at preventing reflections (although this could only really be proven in a comparative test). The polarization effect is very good and there is no color deviation in Lightroom. I have never owned a photographic filter that was so elaborately packaged - yes, almost "staged" - like this professional filter from the Chinese manufacturer Shenzen Zhuo Er. With this, the manufacturer wants to underscore its claim of being at the forefront of the market segment. I take it for granted that he can do that. In terms of manufacturing quality, the filter easily reaches every Heliopan or Rodenstock filter. Of course, it also costs accordingly. I'll be happy to buy a few more filters of this type - I've got a taste for them now. Do you automatically make better pictures by using such an expensive filter? Definitely not. If you were previously satisfied with your image results, this filter will not open up a "completely new world" to you. But if you're eager for every technical possibility to improve quality, then, yes, you should really consider switching to these fantastic filters.

An 82mm polarization filter from the K&F Concept brand from the Nano-X PRO series is supplied. Overall, I find the presentation very valuable, appealing and goes for me in the PRO area - the price too ;-). The unboxing was a WOW! experience for me. A filter that puts a smile on your face when you unpack it has to be good - ..and it is. I think the filter is really great! It is well made, makes a high-quality impression, can be easily screwed onto the Tamron 24-70mm 2.8f G2, the imaging performance is great and I don't see any dark spots, "ghosting" or the like at the edges (as with some other cheaper manufacturers /products). The reflections can already be taken out when taking pictures, which in turn reduces the tedious post-processing. I left the scratch test at this point, after all I want to use the good glass with maximum performance ;) I don't need a scratch on it for the time being, it will inevitably come by itself at some point. Now to the one catch: the packaging, i.e. the transport box, is not 100 % mine - why? Because I'm more of a hard-shell type, where I can put the filter. Nicely laid out in itself, but not quite as practical for me personally. Conclusion: for me, the polarizing filter is a great choice. Certainly not a snapper at first glance, but you also get a high-quality product for such a price. I have already mentioned the weakness with the case mentioned above. It's not really my thing, but ultimately it's also a matter of taste. In the end, what counts is the quality of the polarizing filter, and it's great!

The filter is packed in a small design object. The bag is well thought out from front to back and just as well designed. But: a lint-free hard case would be much better. Unfortunately that was nothing. A filter is always a compromise. I put a layer between the object (light) and the lens. Thus, quality is inevitably lost. In this case, the loss is very low, which speaks for a very good quality of the glass. The reflection of the surfaces is visibly reduced. The ambitious price matches the performance of the filter. However, I don't use the filter bag, but take a hard plastic box - just like always.

I've been a fan of K&F Concept for a long time and own many filters. Especially at the beginning, the cheap products were a real blessing for my wallet. I just couldn't afford expensive polarizing filters, ND filters or adapters. However, with this filter series, they impressively demonstrate that the K&F Concept can also be of absolutely high quality. I can report that just unpacking the filters is a real pleasure. Although this does not count directly in the rating, it immediately conveys a completely different feeling than with the other product series of the brand. It continues with a very attractive and haptically convincing case, which allows the filter to be removed via a tab. But now to the filter itself. I already have a few polarizing filters in use, but none of these filters really convinced me as much as the Nano-X PRO. The processing is simply top-notch, the weight feels good in your hand and the thread is fun - when screwing it on and even when unscrewing it again. Most of you will know that cheap filters like to stay in place. The optical performance, which ultimately matters, is great. Reflections are skilfully filtered and there is no falsification of the actual image. The look that emerges is simply great. If a little magic is then done in post-processing, photos of cars just look great, a completely different level. So I can give my recommendation without hesitation.

had the opportunity to test the polarization filter from K&F. Facts: • Thread size: 67mm • Multi-coating • Waterproof • Bag included The filter is delivered in an attractive product packaging. The customer's interest is immediately aroused here and he wants to get started. The bag that comes with it protects the filter optimally. It looks very robust and scratch-resistant. Furthermore, it can be adjusted very well and enables exact adjustment or fixation. The effect that can be achieved with this polarizing filter cannot be achieved in post-processing. The filter shows its quality especially with reflective water surfaces. All in all, I am very satisfied with the result of this filter. It ensures a significant increase in the quality of your images. Clear purchase recommendation from my side.

received this product as a free trial as part of the Vine program. Thanks very much. The price for the 77 mm variant is in a demanding range at €180; the expectations are corresponding. I compare the filter side by side with my Käsemann B+W KSM HTC-POL MRC nano XS-PRO DIGITAL, which is about 25% cheaper depending on the source. The K&F circular polarizing filter comes in a high-quality cardboard slipcase packaging. The actual case is just as high quality. The question is whether such a chic case is also ideal for transport - or whether the classic plastic filter box does not offer better protection against mechanical damage or moisture. I mean yes. Visually, I think the K&F filter is excellent, and that's the main thing. I can't tell the result from my Käsemann B+W filter. Both filters swallow a little more than 1 f-stop of light. The effect is indistinguishable. I don't notice any optical impairments or color shifts. See photos. In my example photos, I worked with a constant white balance. The filter can be easily screwed in. It is approx. 5 mm thick without the filter thread, my Käsemann B+W filter is only approx. 4 mm. Now my point of criticism, which leads to the deduction of a star. The filter is relatively stiff when new, in contrast to my Käsemann B+W filter. By turning it back and forth several times I got it smoother. But the circulation isn't quite even, there are places that run better and places that offer a little more resistance. No problem at all, the filter can be used without any problems, but as I said, we are talking about a high-priced product and I have the direct comparison. Four stars.
