First I must say that I am a reviewer and I received this K&F Concept 58mm ND8 (3 Stop) Lens Filter, Fixed Neutral Density Filter with HD 18 Layer Dual Side Multi-Coated, Ultra Slim Frame Optical Glass Nano-X Series for Camera Lens free as part of the program. the program was designed to generate reviews of new products hear at amazon. ND filters are for shooting long exposures and not not over exposing the shots or changing the colors. The filter reduces the intensity of all wavelengths of light equally, giving no changes in hue of color rendition. It filter is to reduces the amount of light entering the lens. Doing so allows the us to select combinations of aperture, exposure time and sensor sensitivity that would otherwise produce overexposed pictures. There are diffident ND filters for controlling the amount of light entering the camera this one is three stops. This K&F Concept ND8 Filter is well made and works well. I only shot with it once so far but it was very cool. These are must haves for any amateur or pro phoargopher. I can highly recommend.

As a photographer, I try really hard to make sure I’m only using gear that is reliable. K&F has done a great job of being a reliable company for budget-friendly camera gear. I have some of their other pieces of equipment and I continue to be impressed by both their dedication to superior build quality and attention to detail in their products. I found that the filter screwed right onto my lens without any issues and I was also able to remove it without any problems. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to capture a long-exposure because I don't live near any waterfalls and at the time when I got this filter, the weather really wasn't cooperating with me much. I did, however, hold the filter up to the lens without screwing it onto the lens so that I could see the difference between the image with the filter and without. 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. I did take a few shots with the filter installed and I noticed that there was no edge vignetting issues and because the glass is high-quality, I didn’t notice any ghosting either. All in all, this is a really nice option for a budget-friendly ND lens filter.

Works well.
