The ND 1.8 filter is very good for its low price. The filter makes the image slightly bluer. This deviation can be quickly corrected in both photos and videos.
No loss of sharpness.
The filter can be used in a 4x4 inch matte box, although 100x100 mm is actually a bit too small.
Compared to 4x4 filters in the €200 range, I think it's excellent value for money.

I am a photographer and, in my travels, I also deal with landscape. Over the years I have had the opportunity to try and test filters of different brands and qualities. Quality naturally has its price and from this point of view K&F has never disappointed me. In the filter sector it is the brand with the best quality/price ratio. I have had the opportunity to try this filter for long exposures and it is one of the most valid ever seen. The glass is of excellent quality and does not cause any loss of sharpness. It arrives in its specially protected imitation leather packaging. It has nothing to envy to more renowned and expensive brands. I would like to underline that I have not noticed any color casts or strange aberrations. If you add an unmatched price, I can only recommend this filter.

About the filters (ND 64 + ND1000):
Perfect quality, no color cast. The leather cases are sturdy and protect the filter plates.
Of course, I didn't want to test their scratch resistance, but it should be many times better than plastic filters.
The sharpness is not affected.
The filters fit very well in the holder.
The holder is sturdy and can be removed very quickly thanks to the push button, which can be helpful if you want to double-check the focus, for example.
I also like that it has two slots instead of three, so it doesn't take up too much space. This could otherwise be a problem with very wide-angle shots.
A big plus because all ring sizes are included, and you don't have to buy each ring separately...

I haven't had the change to do real world testing yet but I've taken a few test shots in my garden to check for loss of sharpness and color casting. I used a macro lens for checking fine detail and wide angle to see if its consistent across the frame. I also checked it against my Lee Filters big stopper.
I couldn't find any percievable loss of sharpness across the entire frame with the macro or wide angle.
There is a bit of a color cast to it from looking at the exif data but shooting in raw the camera adjusted it out for the most part and can be edited out manually if required. Importantly though it seems to be consistent across the entire frame, even at 10mm on my apsc sensor.
I did experience vinetting on the wide angle (both 10mm and 22mm) but again it can be edited out very quickly in lightroom.
It would have been nice if it came with a light gasket supplied with it but for the massive price difference compared to the bigger brands I can forgive them for that. They can be purchased online elsewhere if required which is what I'll be doing.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it, which is just as well really as it managed the slip through my Lee Filters folder when I wasn't paying attention and drop onto the paving slabs in my garden, which chipped the corners of the glass. That's my own fault though as it's a known issue I have with the holder, I experience the same problem with my Nisi filters in my holder so I think it's a bit worn out.

This is my first ND filter, and I'm completely satisfied.
It darkens the scene by 10 stops, allowing you to comfortably take long-exposure photographs in full daylight. It's made of glass and looks good quality.
I've used it with my Sony A6000 and haven't noticed any noticeable cast or aberration.
It comes with a leather case, lined inside with a soft, velvet-like fabric, which is great for transporting it without fear of scratching.
