72mm ND1000 (10 Stop) Filter Nano-X Series - Multi-Coated Optical Glass, Fixed Neutral Density Lens Filter
SKU: KF01.1005
I returned because it made a very loud squeaking noise turning it into the filter threads on my lens.

I finally got a chance to try out this filter... pandemic lockdown makes traveling a problem. I found that the filter is a little bit difficult to remove once in place, so you may want to make sure you don't tighten it down completely. I had no difficulties with colour reproduction while using this filter, it worked very well. Excellent for extending exposure time for those very smooth water effects. I'm posting images without and with the filter for comparison.

You can spend a LOT of money on ND filters. I'm no pro, my photos make me happy but don't make me money, so I didn't want to spend $100+ if I didn't have to. But I'd heard a lot of stories about cheap filters having bad colour cast, or not affecting exposure accurately. So I figured I'd take a couple test shots with this one. And I'm very impressed.The first photo was taken with my 5Div and 85mm f1.8 lens at 1/20s, f1.8, ISO 100. Untouched jpg SOC.The second is the same camera and lens, now with the 10-stop ND filter, in about the same position (I picked it up to change settings and put on the ND filter): 3.2s, f1.8, ISO 1600.To my amateur eye, there's no significant change in color or exposure... K&F says 10 stops and it really is.For what these filters cost this is really really good.

Fits perfectly on Canon RF 24-105 f/4L. No issues with fitment or quality.The weather and quarantine hasn't really been great for shooting. So I haven't been able to get some clouds or streams as I wanted. So far with a few test shots it's as you would expect from a 10 stop ND filter. If I can get out to take some tripod pics I'll update this review.It comes with a really nice case. Nicer than the Amazon basics ones. However my Amazon basics circular polarizer is too fat to fit into this case. Too bad because it would have been nice to just carry this nice case around.

K&F Concept 77MM Neutral Density Lens Filter 10 Stops ND1000 Filter is impressive at this price range. I have used expensive filters that leaves noticeable color cast. But L&F filter leaves minimal color cast that is easily correctable in post-processing.On the downside, built quality is not as good as expensive filters such as B+W. Also I have noticed that it scratches easily. So as long as you are careful, it works well.I can recommend it to anyone looking for good results at reasonable price point.

On a very bright day, and when you need to control the light for a long exposure this ND filter comes in handy. Just make sure you use a stand, not recommended for hand holding due to hand shake. Over all it is quite good and worked well for me.

I was really excited to get this to try out long exposures.I open the shipping box & analyze the product for a sec, and think "hmm, K&F packaging is pretty nice, hopefully the filter is of as much value..." Outside box was sealed with a 'tamper-proof' plastic covering, inside the box is a nice hard protective case, so I wasn't expecting to find the filter petty much covered in particles of cardboard on both sides! Took my Rocket blower and blew the cardboard away, inspected for any visible scratches, couldn't see any (with my eye) but will inspect with a test pic tomorrow.In hand, the filter appears to be worth it's price, (the real test is in the pictures to come). Threads are clean, but I could not get them to mate up smoothly, seemed a bit sloppy when threading on, not as smooth as some other filters I have, my Hoya Triple Peak, is really smooth threading on for comparison.Will Update with pics soon! ...hopefully no scratches..
