When I ordered the K&F variable ND filter, I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of quality and the coloring that would be achieved when my images were rendered. However, the colors do not shift at all, and I was pleased with how nicely they pair with the Sony A7iii and A7riii. As an owner of both Polar Pro and Tiffen filters, I must say this filter is a cost-efficient product, coming in at half the cost of the Polar Pro filters I own. Even better, is that this filter has hard stops so you don't get that X when you go beyond the filter’s limit. If you're on the fence about ordering this product, I highly recommend trying it out. Below, I've added a couple images where the K&F variable ND filter was utilized- one shows the filter on my Sigma 135mm f/1.8 Art, and the other demonstrates a portrait I took while using it.

I use this both in the studio to drop my F-stop, and for Video. Used it on professional shoots with my RED, and smaller shoots with my Fuji. Haven't pixel peeped it, but during my edits, I notice no desegregation or X. The best variable I've seen, and absolutely a steal for the price.

For the money you can't beat this product, especially for video. The variable control allows for a much better control over lighting conditions that gain (or iso) alone. Love it and would recommend when you need to shoot in direct sunlight.

The darker version of this is utterly indispensible for LOG video with high ISOs forced by the camera, combined with fast lenses you'd like to open up for depth control/"bokeh". And only the wildly expensive PolarPro has a similar option. And while I suppose the PolarPro might be somehow better - I'm simply not rich enough to find out! In the meantime the K&F has served very well. I use this primarily on a Fuji X-T3 with f1.2 and f1.4 prime lenses, shooting F-LOG at the required minimum 640 ISO. Secondarily on a Fuji X-H1 (800 ISO LOG!) and even a Nikon D750 for occasional stills.** Hey K&F! Do you read reviews? I wish you offered the dark version in smaller diameters (e.g. 62mm) as I'd get another to use with the majority of my prime lenses with no step-up ring. **
