The 49mm ND filter came in a typical filter case along with three pieces of microfiber cloth.

The filter looks well made. Clear markings on the filter and so easy to rotate and set it to the desired setting. It is easy to mount the filter onto the lens and remove it. The lens cap fits over the filter just fine.

I shot quite a few images, the light gathered by the lens is reduced as the filter ring is rotated to a higher stop. Happy with the results for occasional use. I can use this filter for long exposure to get say motion blur. My initial review with some shots of the trees showing the light reduction got rejected and so not including them this time.

This is a good quality ND filter for $28.99.

I’ve never used a variable ND filter, so this was really cool to be able to test out. It came in a protective plastic hard case along with three microfiber cleaning cloths. While slightly heavier than normal nano filters, I still was surprised at how lightweight it was comparatively.
Adjusting the strength of the ND was smooth as butter. The ring glides with minimal effort to achieve a lighter or darker filter between the min and max settings. If you keep twisting it past these points, it goes through the same grading scale until it reaches the starting point again. The threading is well made, so installing it on my lens was easy.
After some testing, I haven’t seen any vignetting or loss in sharpness. There is only minimal color shifting, and I didn’t notice any until around the ND1000 mark.
The image quality is fantastic with this, but the really beauty of it is the convenience. While it doesn’t take a long time to change a filter, it becomes annoying quick having to switch multiple times. It also takes up precious space in your kit when you are trying to travel light. With this, there is no more fumbling with multiple filters trying to get the right combo for the shot. If I need to adjust, I just give the ring a quick twist and I’m good to go. And instead of a case with multiple filters taking up space, I have one filter that does the job of a whole set. It’s absolutely fantastic. Nice job K&F!

I upgraded to this K&F VND2-2000 from my K&F VND2-400. This gives me more versatility when I need to get that light stopped down. Weather I'm shooting waterfalls and need long exposure or I'm shooting slow motion and need to stop the light down to keep my shutter consistent, the extra ND is perfect. I'm a fan of K&F their filters are very affordable and the image quality is still quite clear. The build quality and tolerances are quite nice.

My first foray into filters and I'm excited to use this beyond testing indoors and out in direct daylight. The filter comes in a plastic case, which I appreciate. The lens fits great on my Nikon and I love how it's a variable filter, so you're able to shift the lens to create a more dense filter effect along with a wide range of stops. Pretty happy overall and I'm pretty sure this will be a main driver during the summer.

This is my first experience using a Neutral Density filter, let alone a variable one, so I don't pretend to be an expert. I haven't had time to really play with this filter either; I just took a few quick shots to see what it does. However, I am impressed with this filter. It is clearly a very high quality filter. Even though this filter can be adjusted from ND2 (1 stop) to ND2000 (11 stops),l the frame is very thin and is made of high grade machined aluminum. The filter is adjusted by turning the outer ring; there are eleven marks to indicate the amount of adjustment, and the adjustment ring moves very smoothly with adequate resistance. The filter is made of multi-coated glass to reduce glare and other anomalies. On my 18-35mm lens, the lens hood will not fit with the filter installed, and neither will the lens cap. The three attached photos show how the filter can be used to reduce the amount of light. The three shots are from the minimum setting to the middle setting; all camera settings are the same except for the shutter speed. I tried some shots at higher filter settings, but the effect was too great (at least given my limited knowledge). While I still have a great deal to learn about using this filter effectively, clearly it has a great deal of potential. This is a precision device at a price that is much less than some other brands I have looked at.

I shoot a lot of video with different lenses, and lately have been using my 24 f1.4 Sony lens quite a bit while outdoors, and this can be a very bright lens, so using a variable ND filter like this one by K&F can definitely be useful and a big help to shoot with low apertures and further blur out my backgrounds nicely. I didn't notice any real color shifting, and my image has remained sharp as expected. I like that this one is so variable and allows me to use just this one filter, rather than having to keep changing them out to different ones and the light changes. It's just more useful. I'm thankful this one came with that little plastic storage case, rather than a pouch or something useless, because it helps me to protect the filter when not in use. This is a nice inexpensive alternative to much more expensive ND filters and it's actually quite nicely made.
