An excellent quality, practical and value for money set of filters.
I am old enough to have learnt formerly photography the old way, having to juggle the relationship between film speed, shutter speed and aperture along with darkroom techniques and filter effects. Since I went digital however, (my current camera is a Nikon D3100 DSLR with two lenses (18mm-55mm and 55mm-200mm)), my photography has not really been quite as creative as in the old days, just more a matter of recording rather than much in the way of arty’ness.Now, thanks to the generosity of the nice people at K&F Concept, I received this set of filters to play with in return for an honest review. All have a standard 52mm double thread but, as with all filters, be careful stacking them as you will inevitably get some vignetting at shorter focal lengths.This set comprises:A simple UV filter / lens protector which, as far as I can tell is no different from the more expensive Hoya Pro item I generally have on both of my lenses.Three densities of neutral density filter. These are great when the camera is set for aperture priority to reduce the shutter speed, blurring any motion in the scene such as moving cars at dusk and waterfalls: real arty stuff and an amazing effect if you’re used to the usual frozen action created by the default camera settings. Having three to play with allows for plenty of bracketed exposures (yep, gone all old-school again…) to get exactly the desired effect. However, a tripod and using the self timer are essential to reduce camera shake.Three different graduated colour filters (grey, blue and orange). The blue is great for making the sky bluer than it really is (really useful in the UK!) and the orange is excellent for atmospheric dawn / dusk shots. The neutral density grey is brilliant for reducing the brightness of the sky to improve exposure, preventing under exposure of darker ground features.A flower petal lens hood which is handy for reducing flare when shooting towards the sun. It is not too bulky and works well but it makes getting the lens cap on and off a bit fiddly.Finally, a centre pinch lens cap. This is an advance on my Nikon equivalent as it has a loop and keeper to enable it to be attached to the camera strap – a vast improvement over putting the cap in your pocket and/or dropping it.The whole kit is rounded off with a neat & stylish velcro fixing case with elasticated webbing pockets and a handy microfibre cleaning cloth. If I’m being picky, I would like to have seen one or two of the neutral density filters replaced with a circular polariser and a starburst filter to provide a truly versatile general purpose kit, but, as it stands this set is an excellent introduction to the world of photographic filters to the budding photographer and occasional use amateur; good quality filters and excellent value for money.

Such a great product!
I love that the camera light is not bright it keeps the room dark…also it doesn’t make noise at all when moving the camera angle. It’s perfect i love that you can add up to 4 cameras to the same monitor. Their customer service is great too! Very helpful and prompt! I love everything about this monitor very clear and the additional wide lens helps a lot too!

Problem with one of the two; update
One of the two works great. As to the other: we had some rain, as we often do here in Florida, and moisture got in through the 'water tight' seal around the camera. The moisture then worked its way onto the inside of the lens. The camera still functions, but only to take blurry photos (as one would expect through a fogged lens), rendering it pretty much useless.EDIT: After seeing my review, Wosports reached out and sent a replacement for the faulty camera. The replacement works great, and, as one of the cameras I bought worked perfectly, I'm inclined to believe that the defect in the other one may have been a fluke. At any rate, I'm satisfied with both of the working cameras that I now have and especially with the proactive approach of the company's customer service.

Can't Go Wrong With This!
I bought a Canon 300D Rebel the first week it was out five or so years ago. While it is a great camera with no problems at all, this XSi has the answer to every short coming the 300D had and my collection of Lens work on it. The flash is also way ahead of the 300D and does a great job for a built in flash. Sure hope this camera is a reliable as my old 300D was; I think it will be.

Awesome backpack! Fits my Nikon D5300 perfectly.
After reading countless reviews on various sling backpacks, I decided to purchase this Amazon branded pack. Let me just say, if you're looking for a small and effecient pack that easily holds a DSLR and a couple lenses, pick this up! I can fit my Nikon D5300, 18-55 kit lens, 70-300mm telephoto lens, charger, lens hood, extra batteries, extra camera strap, and still have room for a flash or prime lens. Plus the top can hold a few small items which I like to store my wallet, Samsung Note 5, and portable cell charger. As far as how it fits, I'm 6"1 and weigh 270lbs (weightlifter body type) and this fits nice with a little slack left in the straps. I bought this for my trip to Disneyland and weekend hikes and I am very satisfied. Plus the price is killer! Thank you Amazon!

High recommend
It provides better coverage than my laptop's built in camera, and I can close the cover on the lens to avoid any unwanted views.The camera is plug and play across a wide range of windows versions. I have run it on the native Windows 10 IOT. All in, a reasonable value considering the price, and for the less than technical persons, it is extremely easy to drop it on top of your monitor, plug and play.

The lens cap works great as it holds the Nikon 18-
The lens cap works great as it holds the Nikon 18-200 zoom lens without any problem; However, due to the length of the cord, any longer lens may be a problem in trying to cover or open the lens after use. The adhesive on the button seems to stick very well to the lens cap, but remaining to be seen for the repetitive usage. That being said, there are five pieces in the set so there is no problem if I need to replace one. In addition, the cost was so minimal that it absolutely worth buying it again so I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a similar product.

Heavy duty yeah!!
I bought this tripod for my Nikon P1000 because I didn't trust my other tripods with a heavy camera. Believe me, it made the Nikon P1000 look like small camcorder. Even with the lens extendedthe tripod didn't moved at all. This is exactly what I was looking for, now the only way that camera is going to fall, ( I'll probably trip on the tripod)

Working great with Blue Iris
This is a 4K camera, but I've set the main-stream to 5MP (3072 x 1728) as I don't need the full resolution. Both the daytime and night-time images are very good quality. I've disabled the in-camera motion detection as I'm using Blue Iris with CodeProject.AI where I can set it to detect only significant motion limited to people or animals, as opposed to trees moving in the wind or shadow related lighting changes.It has an easy to use web interface that works fine in Microsoft Edge without using the IE mode. The 1/2.7” CMOS image sensor is a good compromise for the price and delivers a fairly low noise image.My only complaint is that the camera only seems to be available with a 2.8mm lens. If a 3.6mm lens version was available, I'd probably replace a few of my other cameras with this model.
