77mm ND1000 (10-Stop) ND Filter, Super Slim 28 Multi-Layer Coatings - Nano-X Series

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.

The filter is really good, it seems to be a real 10 stop filter (some ND1000 are only 8-9 stops, which makes shutterspeed calculations hard), it is reducing light in both Visible and Infrared light (has been tested on a full spectrum camera used for Infrared Photography), so you will not have a nasty discolouration in the sky as with other ND filters, but you will get a slight blue colour cast, nothing that can not be fixed in post process with the white balance tool, but I highly recommend doing a white balance setting with the filter on to get accurate colours, especially if you are shooting in JPG. I did not see any reduction in detail (see the 100% or 1:1 crop). It easily screwed on my lens and step up rings as well. It has a nice grippy area which I find giving a much better grip than other filters. One thing I'd like to mention is the case it's coming with has a nice locking mechanism and also two carve outs to be able to easily remove the filter from it's case, actually it's one of the best cases I've seen, beating the nice metallic cases from Gobe, which does not close well with larger filters.If colour cast is a critical issue for you then this filter might disappoint you with it's blue cast, in that case I recommend Haida's NanoPRO ND1000, which I unfortantely lost, but that has virtually no colour cast at all, but nearly triple the price.For the price the K&F Concept ND1000 is unbeatable. It has just a very very slight blue colour cast, great IR filtering, true 10 stops and no reduction in picture quality. If you are on a budget and looking for an ND1000, look no further.

I finally got a chance to try out this filter... pandemic lockdown makes traveling a problem. I found that the filter is a little bit difficult to remove once in place, so you may want to make sure you don't tighten it down completely. I had no difficulties with colour reproduction while using this filter, it worked very well. Excellent for extending exposure time for those very smooth water effects. I'm posting images without and with the filter for comparison.

Fits perfectly on Canon RF 24-105 f/4L. No issues with fitment or quality.The weather and quarantine hasn't really been great for shooting. So I haven't been able to get some clouds or streams as I wanted. So far with a few test shots it's as you would expect from a 10 stop ND filter. If I can get out to take some tripod pics I'll update this review.It comes with a really nice case. Nicer than the Amazon basics ones. However my Amazon basics circular polarizer is too fat to fit into this case. Too bad because it would have been nice to just carry this nice case around.

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.

A decent ND1000 82mm filter provided with an excellent carry case.I found this filter excellent when properly screwed on to my lens, vignetting was visable when not properly fitted. It is quite shallow which also helps here.Shots displayed are taken with Nikon Z6 & 14-30mm S line lens I had to stop down to F10 for 20secs & F13 20secs both shots ISO 50 to avoid blowing out the sun, shadows recovered in post processing.The filter was very easily wiped clean after being splashed by a wave, I think the coating definitely helped here.I am quite pleased with the product its defintely much better than my old 72mm

Recently bought this ND1000 filter. On unboxing found the build and finish of the product to be very good. It also comes with a very robust travel case, to protect and keep the filter clean.I have used the filter a couple of times (see attached photo), whilst I am not completely happy with the photo, I believe this is down to me and camera settings. I am completely happy with the filter.A recommended buy

The price point of the ND1000 filter is very reasonable considering the quality of this item. It's very slim and causes no vignetting on my Canon 16-35 L at 16mm. The colours are faithful and it allows for a decent length of shot in daylight.

Like others, I am wary of cheap filters, especially specialist ones, but this big stopper alternative delivers very well. Used first time yesterday in less than ideal conditions, dull overcast and calm, so not a lot of movement to blur out. But very happy with the image quality, images remained sharp where no movement. Very happy with it.

Works perfectly. I haven't noticed any colour casting, nor does it appear to have any effect on the sharpness of the image. Perfect for long exposures to get that smooth, glass-like water effect. At this price, you really can't go wrong!
