Finally a good video explaining the differences between different ND Filters. Thank you! Respect! Would've loved to see it here the ND2-400 Filter in comparison.
hi chris, thanks for the video. I have both of these KF filters, and it seems for me that the ND2-ND32 is super accurate with the white dots on the side of the filter, i mean, if i choose to work with the dot representing the 4 stops range, it will block exactly four stops of light. On the other hand, the ND8-ND2000 (as well the ND2-ND400) are not accurate at all, you can't follow the white marks on the side of it because it's hard to find the exactly position to block the same 4 stops for example. so in my opinion the wider range filters (ND2-ND400/ND8-ND2000) are meant for video use, because you're not looking for accuracy, but to control the light and be able to use wider apertures outdoors ,as the lower range filter (ND2-ND32) is super precise so you can use it better for photography where you want to use lower shutter speeds with more accuracy. What do you think, am I saying nonsenses? Best, MArcello
hi, I just wanted to ask, if I get the nd2-400, in the context of shooting a video while using the that ND, it will have the same result if I put it in nd32, if I compared to the nd2-32?
Hi Chris, thank you for the videos. Very helpful! Regarding the K&F filters, If I had to purchase only one which would you recommend? I mainly do photos, very little video. Thanks!
Can the camera use the focus system with this filter. I want to use it to take away some light so I can use f1.8 in the middle of the day. I recall when I use my static ND filters, I have to focus without the filter then put the filter on. not to bad for a trypod and landscape with DOF is max but could be problematic for portraits with shallow DOF.
Hello, answer please. I see this filter is steal to bright in max position without vignetting to shout video 25fps 1/50 at 1.8 aperture in bright day, is it correct?
I have the Sony RX100 VII which has its widest aperture at F2.8. So you seem to use another camera if you have F1.8. I can only talk about my experience with the Sony RX100 VII. With my camera in video mode the vignetting is not a problem (in photo mode I get vignetting, so I have to zoom in a little bit). And I can shoot video with the ND8-2000 filter in bright sunlight with the aperture at F2.8 as demonstrated in this video.
That would be a solution, but than you can't set down the camera on a surface without taking of the filter. This smaller filter is flush with the body. I show this in my Magfilter / ND Filter video. When in video mode or zoomed in taking photos the corners are not a problem.
@@chris_urra I get it. I'm looking into a set up just like this as well and since I'm only looking at still pictures (I don't vlog), I wouldn't mind removing the filter off the camera to set it down since it's magnetic and for taking long exposure pictures, I would mount on a tripod anyway. What do you think?
Hoi Chris, Danke fur diese Video, ich liebe diese test, Ich habe gedach es zu kaufen aber moch ich habe sbitzli angst uber das X effect fruher als max power. Darfen Sie bitte mir bestattigen das diese 2 quadrat indicator fruher als MAX sind nichts z.b. x500 und x1000? Theoretisc Max effekt sollte sein 2000x. Thank you a lot again, Max, Buona gornata.
The Sony RX100 VII has a focal length of f = 9.0-72 mm. Taking the photos I was zoomed out completely. As you can see at the borders of the images the edges of the filter are visible. So the focal length must have been 9.0 mm.
The voice over feels like you jumped into a single person submarine :D ever considered sound dampening pads? They will massively improve your voice audio quality. If you are interested look for example here: th-cam.com/video/VHCbO6psdIw/w-d-xo.html just so you know the difference. BTW the dark gray foam is enough but you have to use a larger size and not the tiny smallest one they used in the video :) You can put them directly on the wall or create a box with a thick multicolored rubber foam inlay and then glue the gray foam onto it so you can hang it on your wall like a painting. And no need to cover the whole wall. It is enough when you stay with the center of the frame in the middle where you speak on at least the wall in front of you. But to have the best results use at least two walls. Three are better and four is of course the best. Just a tip, no hate :) take care PS: Google before you buy anything. You can buy this affordable sound foam expensive AND cheap depending on who the seller is and how he advertises his products.

Thank you Chris,
Very helpful, clear and detailed explanation,
much appreciated.
Honest clear review. Awesome work.

No, I think what you say makes sense. I carry them both with me, so I have the choice ;).
@@chris_urra cool thanks for the reply!

This is the exact info I needed. Thanks!
Hi Chris, love your calm presentation and review. Does this ND 8-2000 work so well with long exposure photography?? Thanks :)
Yes, it should.
Hi Chris, thank you for the videos. Very helpful! Regarding the K&F filters, If I had to purchase only one which would you recommend? I mainly do photos, very little video. Thanks!
I would choose the darker one (ND8-2000). Gives you more choices with the shutter speed.
@@chris_urra Thank you.
Thanks you Chris! Amazing video, very good explication.
Can this be used with the Rx100 mark 1?
Is the image sharpness and quality similar between the 2?
안녕하세요! 영상 너무 감사합니다!rx100m7카메라 맥필터를 구매할 때 몇미리를 구매해야하나요?? nd필터도요!!

Yes it can use the focus system with the filter (depends of course how dark the picture gets with the filter).
Very nice video. Very informative. Thank you.

Why not use a larger diameter filter to eliminate the corners?
That would be a solution, but than you can't set down the camera on a surface without taking of the filter. This smaller filter is flush with the body. I show this in my Magfilter / ND Filter video. When in video mode or zoomed in taking photos the corners are not a problem.

Sounds good, but keep the weight in mind. I wouldn't mount something to heavy to the front of the lens.
@@chris_urra point noted. Thanks!!

thanks for making this video
Just asking.. 4:44 is X cross problem?
Yes
Thanks for the video!
ND2-32 is more versatile, works for both indoor and outdoor.
Why wouldn't the 2-2000 be good for indoor? It's essentially the same as the 2-32 with extra steps if you need them.
@@zacaviad919 Did you find an answer?

Well done. Thank you
thank you
Bravo!
Excellent 👍
Nice review can I stack another filter on it like a promist
No, there is nothing to screw it on.
What was your focal length?
