After using the Kase filters for months, I wanted to do a thorough review and here it is. These have been my top pick for a while when it comes to lens filters.

Great review, comprehensive!

Because of this video, I ended up going with these filters. Thank you for such a great video.

I've had no problems with the lens cap coming off. I wonder if they've been upgraded?
I love everything about Kase filters.

Hey Pete, thank you for the very helpful review. I got the basic set: polarizer, 3ND, and 6ND for a xmas gift from my kids. I have been a lot of watching and reading about long exposure photography. The PhotoPills materials suggest that just because the filter says it is a 3 or 6 stop filter you should really test time so you can calculate the exposure correctly. That said I cannot find a review where this has been address for these KASE filters - your thoughts? Also what is the proper exposure process for use the polarizer, I assume the stronger the effect the longer the shutter speed? Thanks in advance for addressing my very basic questions. James

Those are all good questions, James. Sorry it took me so long to reply.
I've found that the KASE filters are quite close when it comes to counting stops. Better than most others I've tried. That being said, just counting stops is a good starting point but I always experiment with different exposures when shooting long exposures.
And yes, you are correct. The stronger the ND filter, the longer the exposure. So if you put on a 3 stop filter, you can just slow down the shutter speed by 3 stops to get the same/similar exposure in an image.

What camera/lens are you using? If using the Nikon 16-35mm G lens (77mm thread), do I need to increase size to 82mm Kase system to avoid vignetting?

[@tooki3698]

Based on my experience, yes. Every lens is different, but my Nikon 24-70 VR vignetted with the 82mm Kase filters, and with 2 filters stacked it would hard vignette up to about 29mm.

[@tooki3698]

Not true about vignetting. I found these caused a ton of vignetting on my 24-70--much more than my old B+W and Nikon screw on filters. If I stacked 2 filters it would hard vignette up to about 29mm. I would strongly advise anyone shooting even moderately wide to buy at least 1 size larger than you think you'll need. I had to return my 82mm filters and bow I'm debating getting a 95mm set (much as I hate the inability to use hoods and the significant extra expense).
