Does what an ND filter is supposed to do
Been taking a lot of long exposure stuff recently but I wanted to try some longer exposures during daytime. As a result, I decided that a 10 Stop ND filter should be enough and so far I am very impressed! I used it with my Sigma 35mm 1.4 ART lens and pictures turned out exactly like what I thought. I went to a nearby river, and used a 1 second exposure to allow the water to be more smooth. Overall, if you are looking to do some long exposures during the day, I would highly recommend trying out a ND filter. I had no problems using this and probably will be experimenting with it more very soon!

I'm very happy with this product and highly recommend it.
I love it. I used it in Sedona this past weekend and it did a fantastic job. I had no technical issues at all, and I'm happy to report that the famous X issue most of these filters have, didn't exhibit here at all. I posted a long exposure photo I took using the filter. The build quality is great. I actually dropped mine and freaked out thinking I ruined it, picked it up and found zero scratches on the glass!! I'm impressed. I also love the finger grooves, which truly help with mounting. It comes in a great case too. I'm very happy with this purchase.

An Excellent Product
I bought the 58mm NDHD1000 thinking it was a variable filter like the default search result ND2-ND400 but it turns out to be fixed at 10 stop. I've tested it on an over cast day between 1 to 15 seconds exposure and between f/8-f/10 aperture and the result was perfect. The image was tack sharp and as colorful and the tone is lifelike so I'm glad I made the mistake. If I can take a 1 second exposure photo at f/10, then waterfall, ocean waves, and other movement I want to photograph is perfect so I will keep my filter.

Quality Filter at a good price
I received this filter several days ago at time of this review. My initial impression was pleasure in seeing how good the quality was in the box the filter arrived in from K&F. It is a very sturdy case that can be carried in your bag without any issue. The actual filter is extremely sturdy and feels very nice to the touch. The material almost feels like ceramic for the ring and a nice piece of glass for the actual filter. So far, I have no complaints with this filter.

Amazing details and contrast at an affordable price.
I was pleasantly surprised just how tact sharp the photos are with this ND filter being as affordable as it is. I shot in AWB "auto white balance" and did no color correction in post processing these images and was able to shoot at F22, ISO 50 for 30 seconds in the middle of the day with this 10 stop ND filter.

So far so good
On the first few trials, images are sharp, everything looks great. I don't know this brand so I was hesitant, however, professional packaging, durable product. I will be taking my gear out on contract to Alaska soon, will update if need be.

I love my images!
I have had this filter for about 5 months and i love it. I prefer the screw on filter to the filter inserts, personally. I mainly use it to create motion during day time photos. Either clouds or water from the ocean. I feel that for the price is this a great option and a great competitor to some of the other brands that 4 times the price.

77mm 10 Stop ND Filter - Works with Sony a6000 + Fuji X-T2
I always wanted to get into long exposure photography and new I had to get an ND filter to do it properly. This lens had hundreds of reviews already so I figured it was worth a shot. BUILD- The quality of this lens is great. It is metal, and is much heavier than I thought it would be. I don't know if all ND filters are as heavy as this. FILTER- It's rated as 10 stops. I don't know how to confirm if its exactly 10, but it does cut out a ton of light. It does it effectively. I didn't experience any vignetting, but I wouldn't consider any of the lenses I've used as "ultra wide angle" either. PHOTOS- Color is great, the photo I have shared speaks for itself. I'm about to go to Utah and will take additional samples.

A high-quality piece of glass that is budget-friendly
When photography became more than a hobby for me, I started collecting various accessories to make my camera package more complete. One of the elements I found to be essential was a good set of filters for my camera. I started collecting UV filters of various brands, but when it came to an ND filter, I was a little pickier. First of all, I wanted one that was budget-friendly as well as well-made. I finally found what I was looking for in the 77mm ND1000 Filter from K&F Concept. This filter is available in a variety of sizes from 58mm-82mm. The ND1000 is made with premium Japan Optics glass and an aluminum alloy frame. It’s slim, lightweight and the extra tough frame ensures long-term durability and prevents jamming. The filter features a top level of transmittance and does not have color cast. The 18-layer multi-resistant coating reduces lens flare and ghosting while also making the filter scratch resistant, water repellant, and oil and dust resistant. The multi-coating process also makes it possible for users to achieve super slow shutter speeds in daylight to render moving objects invisible. Because it’s an ND1000 filter, you have the option to reduce the amount of light in a photo by 10 and effectively reduce light reflections while improving the overall image quality. The filter arrived in a very secure, hard plastic case. It was easy to open, but keeps the filter safe from environmental factors when it’s not in use. It stores easily alongside my camera in my camera backpack. The general purpose of this type of filter is to provide users with a strong neutral density (ND) filter which reduces the amount of light hitting the camera’s sensor by about 1000 times. The ND1000 is an extreme version of the neutral density filter as many of them are typically only 3-stops in strength. I wanted this filter specifically for outdoor, long-exposure photography. I thought this filter would help me to have a wider variety of shots when using the same photography equipment that I normally do. My favorite all-purpose lens is the Canon EF 24-105mm. This is a 77mm lens and so I selected the 77mm size filter from K&F Concept. The filter fits perfectly on the 24-105mm lens I mentioned before. I didn’t have any issues with it fitting or screwing into place. This has been an issue for me in the past with some other filters. I tested the filter in a few different ways. First, I held the filter up to the lens without screwing it onto the lens. This showed the difference between the image with the filter and the image with the filter. With this type of test, you can clearly see a correctly exposed image and one that is darkened quite a bit with showing only the ‘hot’ spots of light in the photo. After taking a few shots with the filter installed on my camera, I noticed that there were no edge vignetting issues at all. The glass seems to be of high quality since I didn’t notice any ghosting issues either. The ND1000 Filter from K&F Concept is a very nice option for a budget-friendly, high-quality piece of glass. It’s been very useful for me and a great addition to my camera kit. If you are looking for an ND1000 filter, I can recommend this one from K&F Concept as opposed to one from another manufacturer that might cost an arm and a leg.
