The K + F Concept 52mm Filter set plus is yet another example of how specific brands can bring you quality plus substance and give it to you at a very reasonable pricing point. This is the 5th item I have tried from them, with offerings ranging form hoods to filters, faders, and more, and I have really been pleased with everything I have tried out. I am testing these with a Nikon D3200 Lens, with an 18-55mm noted in the video.As far as the filter set goes, you have 6 filters that perform a variety of functions, allowing you to detail exactly what you want in the field. For those who have never tried out filters, they are a great way to detail the shading and overcome glare and coloring limitations while also providing functionality and protection. If you have ever been out trying to take pictures and have come close to making contact with your lens, you can see how having a filter can provide protection. They come in all different varieties including clear and can be cleaned easily, whereas you would be fixing a lens/replacing a high dollar item were it to take the same types of abuse. In the video I walk through each filter and note what it is, to give you an example of what exactly you are getting. I like the way they are labelled and the way the pouch works, with protection and coloration making this a useful accessory in the field.In addition to the pouch, you also have tow other items included here that are very handy. The Rose Petal Hood is a great addition when you are working with something like the Nikon D3200, because their introductory lenses do not come with hoods and the 18-55 is a screw-on type. That basically negates many types of filters with a standard off-brand replacement, and the Nikon add-ons are expensive. Here, you have one that is made well and is affordable, and that frankly works.The set also comes with a replacement cap, which is great to have. A design element I like with it is the cap-attached cording, which basically allows you to keep up with your cap and not lose it. If you do not carry an extra with you, you really need to do so anyhow because they are one of those items you take for granted until you end up needing one.Please note this was supplied for sampling and that the opinions are my own. I use everything before reviewing, and my camera gets a load of use. These were tested for ten days and each filter was tested a few times before the final review.

I have this set and the 77mm set. They are identical except for the size.Talk about a lot of bang for the buck. I've been using these for over a month on a couple of my Canon lenses and love them. The threads are crisp and burr free (a concern on low priced filters!), the glass clean (I've purchased cheap filters in the past that arrived filthy, oily or scratched) plus the kit includes a decent lens shade and cover, and a padded case.One problem I did find with the case - it sheds. The filters were constantly covered in bits of colored thread. I finally tossed it in the dryer with some towels and got rid of the bits.The filters can be stacked and easily removed/un-threaded. These are in the bag whenever I carry my short primes. I've been walking around with these and using them now for almost a month and love them.Free sample provided for honest review.

AMAZING! I love these as you have to play around with and use just for the right photo. They work great!!

Good starter kit for the price and all items screw on to the 18-55 kit lens that came with my D3200 easily, filters work good also. My only problem was that you see edges of the petal hood when taking photos. I will now be buying the proper manufacturer hoods for my lenses in the future.

This is a great quality product for the price. The resin is durable and the filters swivel. Decent case & nice cloth. The hood was a great compliment and the lap with the string attached was a nice bonus. I'd definitely recommend for a starter kit, or if anything a practical addition to gear.

I am old enough to have learnt formerly photography the old way, having to juggle the relationship between film speed, shutter speed and aperture along with darkroom techniques and filter effects. Since I went digital however, (my current camera is a Nikon D3100 DSLR with two lenses (18mm-55mm and 55mm-200mm)), my photography has not really been quite as creative as in the old days, just more a matter of recording rather than much in the way of arty’ness.Now, thanks to the generosity of the nice people at K&F Concept, I received this set of filters to play with in return for an honest review. All have a standard 52mm double thread but, as with all filters, be careful stacking them as you will inevitably get some vignetting at shorter focal lengths.This set comprises:A simple UV filter / lens protector which, as far as I can tell is no different from the more expensive Hoya Pro item I generally have on both of my lenses.Three densities of neutral density filter. These are great when the camera is set for aperture priority to reduce the shutter speed, blurring any motion in the scene such as moving cars at dusk and waterfalls: real arty stuff and an amazing effect if you’re used to the usual frozen action created by the default camera settings. Having three to play with allows for plenty of bracketed exposures (yep, gone all old-school again…) to get exactly the desired effect. However, a tripod and using the self timer are essential to reduce camera shake.Three different graduated colour filters (grey, blue and orange). The blue is great for making the sky bluer than it really is (really useful in the UK!) and the orange is excellent for atmospheric dawn / dusk shots. The neutral density grey is brilliant for reducing the brightness of the sky to improve exposure, preventing under exposure of darker ground features.A flower petal lens hood which is handy for reducing flare when shooting towards the sun. It is not too bulky and works well but it makes getting the lens cap on and off a bit fiddly.Finally, a centre pinch lens cap. This is an advance on my Nikon equivalent as it has a loop and keeper to enable it to be attached to the camera strap – a vast improvement over putting the cap in your pocket and/or dropping it.The whole kit is rounded off with a neat & stylish velcro fixing case with elasticated webbing pockets and a handy microfibre cleaning cloth. If I’m being picky, I would like to have seen one or two of the neutral density filters replaced with a circular polariser and a starburst filter to provide a truly versatile general purpose kit, but, as it stands this set is an excellent introduction to the world of photographic filters to the budding photographer and occasional use amateur; good quality filters and excellent value for money.
