- All New K&F Concept Variable ND Lens + CPL Polarizers Filter
The concept is simple; its a polarized VND. For videography it keeps your motion blur as needed to abide by the 180 degree rule, and photographers can keep the lower apertures for bokeh in bright sun.
If you are tired of having to remember to bring both filters in your camera bag - this all in one could be the filter that saves your trip.

Short, very informative, interesting, nice and calm voice, no boom boom music...! This is how I like TH-cam videos. I clicked on subscribe.
Thank you! Bought this a little while ago and could not find a video anywhere to explain the mechanics even though I understood the concept. Good work.
Hey not a problem, glad it helped out!
This is a necessity for automotive stuff if your camera doen't have a built-in ND!
Tell ‘em bout it!
i do automotive/drifting and could not possibly shoot properly without it now
Man I really REALLY wanted to like this filter. But all the complaints in the reviews about the cpl and nd rotation happening at the same time and it being very difficult to dial one in without adjusting the other were true for me as well. Eventually after so much frustration I had to return it, hoping that it hey can refine the design a bit more for a v2.
Outside of that glaring design issue, I found it to be of very high quality.
Definitely feel that too 👍🏼
I discovered K&F recently and got some of their black mist diffusion filters (1/8 and 1/4 strength). They are multi-coated and of really good quality. I can highly recommend them. Have bought a CPL this week but not tested yet. Next is the VND for video.
That’ll be cool 😎
Hello, did you get to test that cpl? I was thinking about buying one from them
Great video, thank you! You just earned a sub
Thank you, but can you lift up the audio level and a big thank you for not having music in between.
Hey now that’s a constructive comment! I can definitely work on getting it just right. Thank you for the request 🙏🏼
Yes, thank you such a big plus not having music to sort out when listening.
Have you tested color shift on this filter? I know many VND filters traditionally struggle with color shifts.
I haven’t tested it.. I’m sure it has some. But with post editing, it’s just not something that has bothered me enough
Thanks mate!
Of course ✌🏼
Hi! I use an iPhone 15 Pro with a Polar Pro CPL filter. I do a lot of travel vlogs and I do a lot of landscape shots. In such situations, would you say an VND filter or a CPL filter is more suitable?
Solid question. I’d say the VND is necessary and the CPL can be a good addition. If you’re making videos outside, you gotta have the ND so you can cover the 180 degree rule, for proper motion blur. On the photo side the CPL may help you a bit more so you can take down the bright sky and make it more of a punchy blue. But you could also run the ND if you like to throw in other shots with your landscapes that need subject isolation via lower apertures… hope this helps!
Pat i do videos. I have primes like 75mm /f1.4 , 50mm/f1.00and 85mm /f1.8 apart from some other small lenses like the 26mm,18-55 etc. I was thinking the K&F square filters but this cpl+ND came. The square ones cost a fortune. Which one is the best. I want to travel light.
So you’re looking at NDs but the only difference is the shape? Are these squares you’re talking about the bigger, drop in filters?
Hi Pat,thank you for this great video.I do mostly indoor product video shooting and outdoor travel filming with my sony apsc camera, I'm wondering which is better for me , CPL+ND2-32 or CPL+ND4-64?
I don’t think there would be a huge difference on that one.. that basically 1 stop difference… with one starting a bit more intense than the other and then ending a bit stronger on the back end as well.. I’d probably go for the slightly stronger one. But either would probably be mostly fine… if you’re in crazy bright situations all the time you could always look for a 2nd filter that’s stronger for those particular times
@@patcormick Thank you for the advise, you've inspired me. I'm planning to buy an ND2-32 first as my primary filter, and I'll get an ND32-1000 later on for use in extremely bright conditions.
thank you so much. I have a question i have Sony A7 iii with GM2.8 24-70. What size K&F Concept should i get?
Check to make sure… but I googled your lens and it said your thread mount is 82mm. So unless you have a lens with a bigger thread mount I’d go with that. If you have one that for some reason has a larger diameter/thread mount get one for that size instead bc you can buy the step up/step down rings I mentioned in the video to you buy 1 filter but get to use it on all your lenses 👌🏼
@@patcormickthank you for replying
Can it be used for horse photography, they are often overexposed pictures in bright sunlight
Of course! It’ll help with over exposure
@@patcormick Many thanks, will order one.
Is this better than the Haida equivalent asking because I’m torn between this one and Haida.
So I haven’t used the other one… but I’d say if you can make it work, when I have the issue I order both and return the one I liked least 🤷♂️
thank you for the video! what cap is compatible with this?
Cap?
Thank you
Hi. In this filter, the cpl and the vnd can each one rotate singly? Tnx
Yes.. the outer ring rotates the CPL and the ND rotates with one of the orange flanges
@@patcormick thanks for the info, it wasn't so clear in the company's specs
@@Luths269 no worries, glad I could help clear it up 👍🏼
is 2-6stops enough for the video with f2.8? I will use 1/50~1/120
Depends on the situation but I’d say it’ll definitely help
Great video! Do you find the ND gives any noticeable colour cast?
Ya know.. I didn’t really notice anything.. I’m sure it has one; at least a little bit. But with the ability to correct the cast in the edit, it’s not something that really bothers me at this point.
What’s Up Pat,
Im Not Educated At All On Filters… However, All My Video Content I Record Outdoords… I’m Looking For A Good VIR- ND Filter And A Polarized Lens Filter … I’m Working With A Sony A6600 My Lenses Are:
Sony E16=55mm 2.8 And Sony E15mm F1.4..
Thank You…
Just for clarity, you’re looking for a VND polarizer right?
@@patcormick yes to shoot videos outdoors….
Thank you for such a quick response
@@costtv no worries! Try out a K&F concept filter… the only thing you need to know if the diameter of your lens so you get the right size
@@patcormick ok thank you…
Does it colour cast ...i mean does the quality of video footage decrease??
I mean it might… if I had to say, I’d prob say it does go a bit green… but if you’re shooting log, or color grading, or the very least doing a white balance you won’t notice it… I think most filters will cast to a degree 🤷♂️
Whats the difference between 1-5 stops and 2-6 stops
1-5 would be a little less dense than 2-6
@1:15 you captured an earthquake, your camera and light poles are shaking so bad?
🤣
Is this the same as the shortstache from polar pro
It’s not the same. I did see they came out with a new collab filter. It probably is also a variable nd cpl combo.. don’t quote me on that lol
@@patcormick do I really need a mist filter
@@2point58 I don’t think so.. but they’re nice to have for random things
