So Much Superior to Individual Filters + Really Fun to Use
I’ve wanted the Cokin filter kit for a while now. And why’s that, you ask? It's because there’s a reason landscape photographers seem to like the Cokin system so much. The idea is great: rather than screw special filters onto every lens, just buy a filter holder and slot any filter into that holder. Simple. It’s much better than having to buy a filter for each lens or even buying a big filter to use with step down rings for various lenses.Enter this filter pack from K&F. Unlike the Cokin equivalent, it comes with not just the holder but screw on adapters for almost any lens size in addition to all of the filters you possibly need. It is honestly fantastic value for money.Now here’s the rub. I’ve tried the Cokin system in the past because my husband uses it. Having now used this K&F, I honestly can’t tell the difference. The filters are plastic which means they won’t shatter and the effects you get are gorgeous.I’m not a professional but I’m a keen amateur and I think that the creative options that this pack gives you is amazing value for money. All of the filters come in filter wallets and, as I say, step down adapters are supplied for any filter thread size you can imagine.This saves so much time because it means that any size you possibly need (even for lenses you don’t yet have) is ready for you when you do.So for example, I have a 52mm lens, and it’s no problem. Pop the adapter on the lens and then the filter holder. Pick whatever filter colour I like and away I go. It’s actually makes for a load of fun out in the field because even messed up shots now have entertainment value.I’ve read some people say that Photoshop can do the same thing. Erm excuse me, but do they know how much Photoshop costs on a monthly basis? Not everyone uses Photoshop or even wants to, so I don’t find that point valid at all.If the argument is that you can simulate filters using an iPhone app I’d say yes but only to a degree. To my eyes the results from iPhone apps do not look as gorgeous as with these filters and often they just look weird. In my view there is no substitute for real filters and there is definitely not anywhere near as much joy in using the real deal.As you can probably tell, I think this product is brilliant.

one of the best filters
I grew up using Fram filters, 2 years ago I was watching the Powerblock on Spike like I do every Saturday morning that I don't have to work and they did a cutaway comparison to Fram filters. I was inpressed at how well built these are compared to Fram and that the back flow disc is rubber and not cardboard. The 1 inch nut on the end makes removal from any car I've ever worked on a breaze. Much easier than using filter sockets, wrenches, and strap wrenches. Every vehicle I work on whether it's a family members, friends, or even my Harley has a K&N oil filter on it.

Perfect
Perfect fit on my 2018 Mazda CX 9, it comes preoiled, just wipe the oil residue on the edges off and make sure you keep on top of your maintenance, clean and reoul it every 20,000-30,000km’s. If you’re lazy this air filter is not for you.

Fabulous Lens- Pricy But Worth Every Penny
I put off buying this for years because I thought it was just too much money. Finally broke down a couple of months ago and am glad I did. This lens is wonderful! It produces excellent sharp pictures on my 5D MkII.

Basic but very helpful.
Basic but so much better than older ones. These have a noise filter to not hear every ohh and grunt, but still wake you up if the baby cries. Very happy with the performance and price. We've only used it in AC outlet mode.

Safe and comfortable
I have purchased these goggles in the past and usually have replaced them every few years...love them. I was hit with a stone and lens was scratched but took the hit very well

Perfect Fit for my Subaru 2017
I was having great pains finding filters that fit my Subi, It seems the STI that are listed aren't actually compatible with gen5 of the imprezas and after returning more than I would like to admit I was about to give up when I went to K&N's site as saw their product listed compatibility ONLY for gen5... So I bit the bullet and bought the most expensive filter yet.It was worth every penny.The Filter fit perfectly and installation took under a minute, the filter was pre-oiled (something I haven't seen any reviews mention) and improved my MPG from an average of 33 back up to 40 like the day I bought the car... and then a few extra to 44mpg. needless to say your mileage may vary (pun intended) but I am completely happy with the filter so far. It will take a while before I know if the performance will stay that high and save me more than the cost of the filter in gas costs over the life of the car but for now I can at least stop going to the dealer every time I need a new filter.TL;DR Fits, works as good or better than OEM, highly recommended.If anything unexpected happens I will update my review.

It’s compact and easy to use
I like how easy it is to use. The size is also very good but I don’t like the cover to the water filter as you have to take it off and put it back on every time you put the water in. I would also like to know if I have to turn the on button off every time I’m do be making coffee or if it can stay on always

2013 Kia Optima
Fits perfectly. It has added an extra punch in horsepower and better gas mileage. Can't ask for more. Just one of the few things I do to every new car. Toss out the stockPaper air filter and replace with a K&N, toss out the stock spark plugs with some premium ones, get rid of the stock paper oil filter and get nice Fram and put in synthetic. Great product.
