The filter came today. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and I was very satisfied.
I often photograph landscapes and this filter makes a difference when it comes to the overexposed part of a photo.
I attach an example image.

In addition to the Kiwifotos lens filter adapter for my Sony RX100 V, I bought this gray gradient filter from K&F Concept after having also had very good experiences with the other products. I read again and again that the filter could not be unscrewed. I can't confirm that. At least for the size of 52 mm I ordered.
The practical test is convincing. It is currently not sunny but clouds are often difficult even in very cloudy weather. I hope you can look through the pictures in the right order. For someone who knows their way around, it should be clear: The third picture is pure without the filter. In the fourth, I tried to improve this image in RAW post-processing and you can see that there are still burnt out areas. The first picture is with a filter and you can already tell: The clouds are already more detailed. But the window frame also gets darker, of course. The post-processing, which can be seen in the second picture, requires more effort to create such a scene. But I think the result is also impressive!
As with the other filters from K&F, I didn't notice color casts, vignettes or the like.

Haven't used for a lot. It works for me and is affective when the aperture set in high number, such as 11.

The graduated filter works very well. It is just a bit more difficult to use than a square/square filter. The quality is excellent and as described. And it doesn't take up too much space in your luggage, as it doesn't need a holder. Perfect for traveling, actually.

Delivered quickly, very well packaged, also for transport in a photo bag. Perfect thread for easy installation. The filter is perfect, the colors are not distorted, I am very satisfied.

A must-have for landscape photography. The effect is particularly noticeable when shooting wide-angle. Clouds appear particularly vividly when the sky is darkened as a result. Exposure compensation when shooting can almost be avoided.

Very happy with this filter - but recommend checking it for dust before first use!!!!
