I'm just a hobby photographer and have had Cokin & Lee square filters for a long time and only use them sparingly as I find them a bit of a palaver to mount and have knocked them off when the camera is hanging on my shoulder strap, so always preferred screw type. I have been using K&F screw type and can vouch for them being reasonably priced and just as good much as any other expensive brands in use. Lovely images too by the way, looks a very beautiful area.
Thanks again for watching Victor. The screw type ones are great as well yeah, I have a couple and had great results with them. All the best Gary 😁👍👍
Skint! Story of my life. Thank you for the review I am currently looking for filters as I have jumped to a new system and have been leaning toward a magnetic system.
Thanks for watching Mathew. There's another video coming out later today looking at more filter kits including another magnetic one😁👍👍
You have swung it for me. Great review.
Hi Gary, thanks for the review. I bought the set for a holiday on Arran in November and really enjoyed using them. I would say to be careful how tyou move your camera on rocky shore lines. I was sitting on top of an outcrop of huge boulders on an Arrran beach and accidentally touched the edge of the CP filter on the top of a boulder and away it went! Plink, plink, plink. Down it went into the inaccesible basement below several hunfted tons of granite. I searched but the way it had bounced took it back towards the bottom of the stack. Gone forever! I have replaced it with the screw on version, the magnetic one being far too costly on it's own. A good set though. :)
Pretty tempted, found myself only ever using ND and CPL filters. Very rare I'll even consider a grad.
The only downside is vignetting on wider lenses so I'd advise getting the widest possible filter size and step down rings to match your lenses, this in theory should stop or reduce the vignetting at wider focal lengths.
Manfrotto have the Xume system that lets you adapt any circular filter to magnetic.
UPDATE: So after looking at their site it appearing you can't buy the lens adapter ring by themselves! I have more than one lens. What happens if you replace a lens, you need to buy a whole new kit.
Thanks for watching Mark. Never tried the Xume system so will take a look at that. The next video is hands on with the NISI system, H&Y magnetic system and K&F variable as I've had them for a good wee while now. 😁👍👍
Good stuff Gary - gonna look into this as can't stand screwing on and off with my long exposures all the time!! 😆
Thanks for watching Robbie, I'm really enjoying using them for that as well as the quality😁👍👍
Hi Gary, haven't left a comment/spoken in a while, hope you and the family are doing well staying safe! Filters look really good, been looking for something like this for the fuji, think I might just have to pull the trigger lol, great video again 👌
Hi Jamie, good to hear from you hope you are well also and yes thank you we are do well thanks. Yeah definitely worth it value/quality wise. Think I'm going to get a set for the fuji also, so easy to use. Thanks for watching, all the best and stay safe 😁👍👍
I'm using the KASE Magnetic circuit filter as well. the have a adjustment ring you get only the 82 and can use it for your 82 kens or smaller that what I do.
Love your Glaswegian accent I’ve moved to London and I miss hearing it 😔
Thanks very much Anna, and thanks for watching😁👍👍
Another nice review Gary..
Hope you are well mate. Many thanks for watching , glad you enjoyed it😁👍👍
@@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer Im fine over here... how about you?
@@IanSmithFotografi we're all good here thanks Ian, living quietly😁👍👍
Just found out your code for the 10% off on the US site did not work, but if you change the "UK" to "US" it still is valid! cant wait to try them :)
Hi Gary, I've just found your video, informative as ever thank you. I'm looking at buying into a magnetic filter system, These K&F seem pretty good, do you have any experience of Kase filters and how they compare?
Thanks for this, thinking of getting these as I’m on a tight budget and I need a new 10 stop ND anyway. Bet it’s so much quicker and easier than unscrewing a normal screw on ND too?
It is indeed Brian and doesn't take up any space in the camera bag. Thanks for watching😁👍👍
Nice review! Thanks. Do you happen to know if magnetic filters from other manufacturers (Freewell, Kase, Haida) will attach to this K&F adapter ring?
Thanks for watching and glad you found it helpful. Unfortunately I honestly don't know sorry.😁👍
Great Vlog, very informative, I’ve just found you while looking for these filters, the only thing I’m struggling with is finding out if they do magnetic stepper rings, so if I buy the 72mm one and use it on my other lenses
Glad it was helpful! Unfortunately they don't do them, you have to buy separate ones.👍
Gary it is also possible to get the magnets filter holder and adapter separately if you already have filters. I have used them for a couple of year and one drawback I found with cpl is when turning the polariser the magnetic filter holder went round as well.. Did you find this or have they upgraded the magnetic hold do you know.. They are a useful system for a quick change though. Also does your lens cap fit ok with the magnetic adapters on. Thanks, like the look of Scottish hills in winter but snow here in Leicestershire improved the landscape last week
Hi Martin, yes the cpl turns independently of the magnetic adapter but as for separate items I think they only come as complete kits for now. Lens cap fits on OK but I normally remove the magnetic holder anyway but no need to. Glad to hear you got snow. We had none around the area I stay. 20 miles down the road though there was. Thanks for watching😁👍👍
Thanks for the review Gary - thinking of getting a magnetic filter system myself. It looks like they do the full kit for various lens filter sizes......I have 3 different lens sizes.....but do you have to buy a full kit for each lens? Do they do individual step rings? Would work out qute expensive if I had to buy a separate kit for each lens and in the process triplicate the same filters. Finally is the 10 stop the only ND available? Apart from this they look really good
hi gary i saw your video and heard that you teach and from the photos i saw it seems that you are in ayr and i am interested in taking classes, how can i get in touch, thanks
Hi Luch, thanks for watching. Send me a pm via Instagram - Gary McIntyre Photographer😀👍
Hi Gary: Thanks for sharing your perspective on this filter system. I am also a Lee Filter system user and I am tried of faffing around with the filter holder. I am considering the Kase Filter Magnetic system. Do you have any experience or thoughts on this system? Thanks, Keith
What if you have multiple lenses with different filter sizes, how do you adapt the magnetic system to that? ie; I have 62, 67, 72 and 77 lenses...do I need a separate kit for them all? (Really new to filters)
Thanks for watching Jason. With this system there is no option of step up rings (adapters)so you would have to buy separate systems. However other types of systems to be able to do this. There's another video on the channel on other filters which allow use of step up rings.😁👍👍
@@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer Thanks for the reply Gary, nice to find another fellow Nikon user! 😎👍🏻
@@JasonLorette if you buy the magnetic system for your biggest lens, then you can use step rings for the smaller ones. You just need to remember in your case only the 77mm will be magnetic, but if a step down ring on a smaller lens will still work ok
This filter system seems really nice and practical. My only "concern" is that the ND1000 seems to be a 3-stops filter and I want a 10-stop filter. I looked into the links that you provided but it seems that the 10-stops filter is not available. In fact, it is very hard to find out how many stops of light the different filters provide. Any further comments or advice, Gary? Thank you!
Hi Jorge and thanks again for watching. I'll ask once the Chinese New Year holiday is over and get back to you. I do know that the screw in nd1000 are 10stop so it also might be nice to make a comparison to see the difference as I have one for my other lens. I'll post a reply once I know. Thanks again Gary😁👍👍
@@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer Thank you Gary. Your follow up will be much appreciated indeed!
@@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer Gary, I asked my question through Amazon.com (USA); the ND1000 is in fact a 10-stop filter! So, I have placed my order through them. They did not take your discount code but the price was comparable. I get free shipping and free returns in case I am not pleased for whatever reason - but I am sure the kit will be a keeper. Thank you!
@@photonsonpixels hi Jorge, glad you got an answer, they also got back to me with the same 😁 hope you enjoy using them. All the best, Gary 😁👍👍
So you've switched to Nikon Z7 from XT3? Is there big difference in terms of image quality for Landscape photos? You said you mentioned this in the previous video but I couldn't find it.
Hey Gary, did you see significant vignetting with multiple filters on your 14-30?
Coz I see there's a review of the Kase 82mm magnetic filter that more than 1 filter stack will cause vignetting and adapting from 95mm can hold it up to 2 filter stack at 14mm
Sorry for the late reply. I never noticed anything significant but yes there was some. I did shoot very slightly wider to compensate but only very slightly. Thanks for watching 😀👍👍
