- 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.

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!
Is it worth it cuz the size i want is 150
Short, very informative, interesting, nice and calm voice, no boom boom music...! This is how I like UA-cam videos. I clicked on subscribe.
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
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
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 👍🏼
@@patcormick So its not worth ?
@@Z3Chosen1 I personally like it. If you’re on the fence, I’d say try it and return it if you end up not liking it. For the videos I make, it’s been a helpful piece of kit, and I haven’t minded the rotational issue… but it is one to consider
@@patcormickhow much they paid you
@@camilomartinezgrez1263 hahah how
Much did KnF pay me for the video? Respond to this and I’ll tell you 🤫
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
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.
Great video, thank you! You just earned a sub
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.
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!
thank you, you can rotate vnd filter but can you rotate cpl filter?
Yes, both will rotate 👍🏼
Which one is the best filter for videos?
Every project needs the right tool. That’s a little to broad to be able to help with
Hi do you recommend ND and Polarizing for an Action camera?😮 Thx
At least an ND… if we’re talking GoPro I definitely rec. the ND will let you follow the 180 degree video rule
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?
Can you stack mist filter on top of this?😊
I’m sure you could.. just want to make sure the mist has threads on both sides
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.
thank you for the video! what cap is compatible with this?
Cap?
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.
Can I use the ND for 50mm RF lens ?
For sure!
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 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
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 👍🏼
Thanks mate!
Of course ✌🏼
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 🤷♂️
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
Is there a filter cap available for this?
Now that I don’t know… there’s probably an after market that’ll fit
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…
how do you adjust the polarizer?
There are two interlocked rings one for nd and one for polarizer.. so you’d adjust the ring associated to the polarizer
@@patcormick interesting but it doesn't quite cut the reflections though
@@patcormick does it also depends which ND stop I'm at?
@@Mengyboi depends on the situation we’re talking… the CPL is meant to reduce reflection.. spinning it in relation to the source is how you achieve the effect… not always does it remove the glare… I’d say if the goal is to remove it completely and the VND/CPL doesn’t do it.. you might be able to find a stronger CPL by itself and stack it with a different VND… I don’t know the ratings of reflection reduction in filters without a little research but I’d say best bet would be to see if you can find a stronger one if you need that… down side, it’s probably not coming bundled like a filter like this, it’ll probably be a stand alone
@@patcormick oh noted, thank you for taking your time to reply! I subbed just because of that!
Whats the difference between 1-5 stops and 2-6 stops
1-5 would be a little less dense than 2-6
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
Thank you
@1:15 you captured an earthquake, your camera and light poles are shaking so bad?
