82mm ND2-ND32 (1-5 Stop) Variable ND Filter and CPL Circular Polarizing Filter 2 in 1 for Camera Lens No X Spot Weather Sealed
SKU: KF01.1088
This is one of the best purchases I've made lately, and I have no hesitation in recommending it, especially for travel photographers who are committed to bringing as little camera gear with them as possible. Though sometimes it's better to wear less, but there are things I just can't live without. Filters are one of the accessories that I often carry with me because they are indispensable for my landscape photography. My first impression of the filters is that they arrive nicely and safely packaged. They are packed in a cardboard box and the filter itself is in a hard plastic box inside the box. Except for the circular polarization filter, the frames of all filters are made of an aluminum alloy (the polarization filter is made of an ultra-stable magnesium alloy).

Excellent cpl + nd variable, compact and easy to use. I would have preferred a through thread at the exit or the option of attaching a lens hood.

I took these test photos at the beach in the late afternoon on a very sunny day. I can see the filter/polarizer has removed any glare from the water, my dog's eyes are so clear with color! Very happy with my purchase

I like that it's a variable ND and polarizing filter combined. It makes setting up my shot so much easier, without trying to put in two different filters. On top of that, this filter feels and sounds really solid. Another important thing is that this filter doesn't have the annoying "X" that some others have. I would recommend it and think it would be great for anyone who wants a decent ND and polarizing filter without spending hundreds of dollars.

Definitely worth the price. The highlight of the filter is the manual adjustment for the amount of light that comes in.

Very nice to be able to adjust both the ND and CPL from one filter. You do need to be careful though as adjusting the ND Filter can also accidentally turn the filter, unintentionally adjusting the CPL.
Works great on my Panasonic GH6!

The GH6 lens cap kind of works on there, but there is not a lot to grab on to. I'd recommend a 67mm lens cap, which will work perfectly.

The K&F Concept 72mm Variable Fader ND Filter and CPL Circular Polarizing Filter is a must-have for any photographer or videographer. Convenience of 2 filters in 1. Works well, easy to use, and can be used in many shooting situations. Two Thumbs Up.

I wanted to slow down my shutter speeds to smooth out lake water etc. I assumed (incorrectly) that the fader and the polarizer portions wouldn't affect each other, but that's incorrect.
Once one sets the ND fader to its most dense (32) no matter how you turn the outside ring, (which affects the polarizer,) you will have dark areas somewhere in the frame. This only goes away around 30mm, which is how most polarizers work, and I was aware of. I had assumed I could just have it "not working" while I used the ND properties.
So if you want to use this, it is pretty much useless below 30mm as you'll get dark spots. Note the top two corners of my example plus the lower left corner. If I turn the polarizer (front ring) those spots just move to other spots. I should have bought a set of ND screw-on filters instead for my purposes. Unfortunately, there is no documentation or information anywhere on K&F site or reviews that would have alerted me to this drawback.
