I was afraid for the cross but the filter specification is from ND2 to ND400 so..... between this interval you dont have cross so the filter works well. If you need above ND400 you need another filter. I dont see where is the problem
It should be okay just don't focus on the dots because it is annoying to keep checking the side of the filter where the dots placed. Focus on your lcd screen with zebra.
Actually, it depends on the camera. For instance, when using an ARRI Alexa or Red, they recommend increasing iso to gain more stops in your highlights. Sounds super counterintuitive, but it does in fact work
This is a great ND. I was looking for variable ND can pass the normal 2-5 stop range as 5 stops is not really enough for sunny day. This one let's be safe. let's just stop at ND128/7 stops. That is still way better than only 5 stops.
Well at 4:04 theres a huge color difference.Everything is green/yellowish with the filter. Shouldnt you adjust the White Balance after putting the nd filter , just to show a more reliable result ?
Great filter. Makes it extremely convenient while shooting video. Works like iris control without changing f-stops which is very visible if need to change in middle of shot.
1:34 Is there any ND filter out there that has stops? I got one that was a 2 in 1 but I don't like how the polarizer side works. I do love the little knob that controls the ND side, and it has a min/max stopper.
Thanks for the review, it's cloudy and rainy here for the next two weeks and was wondering if ND400 was going to be enough for me. And looks like no for me, my cameras log is ISO 800. So in the sun at 2.8 I would never get it down to 1/50th. I also saw a warmer color shift from using the filter.
Thanks for this video! I was considering a variable filter (I already have a fixed ND1000 filter from K&F), but I think I'll hold off for now. I'm just shooting stills after all, so the variability is truly just a convenience. Also, there's definitely a warmer, yellower color shift with the filter on. Probably nothing that can't be handled in post processing, but it's there.
Any ideas how to know at which stop are you in the middle dots? I'm going to use it in film photography, so don't want to experiment with exposure (that would be expensive)
I think im going to put a dot of glue on the "400" to stop it when it reaches it, so it wont overextend it. It would be better if it was done by manufacturer, but ah well.
This POS VND has a massive problem, I used it once in the morning mist over a lake, 3 weeks later I found haze inside, in between the glass and the coating was coming off with spots all along the edge of the VND.
I watched your video and if you follow the directions from the maker of the filter you would know not to turn to the filter to the extreme left or right past the markings and then you would not see the x or cross pattern you mention. I have several of these variable nd filters and pair them with a step up or step down ring and then you don't need individual filters.
Just yesterday got my K&F ND8-2000, but mine doesn't have such fancy pouch and no orange knob, I'm not even sure if it's made of metal in my case. Didn't have the time to test it for real yet... In your case, I see pretty big color shifting. When I ordered mine it was before I knew and ordered the Freewell magnetic system, can't wait for mine to arrive!
@@Romafedorov Can't wait, but for now wanna here something funny? We went for a photo shoot (birds mostly) with a friend today, I took some gear, took the K&F ND to test it out, decided to add a mini tripod for long exposures, and when we met I realized I took few lenses that non of them at the correct filter thread size of the ND 😂 Didn't have any step up rings with me and my friend also had no suitable lens with him... Another day I guess... (But still got some nice photos today!)
Im afraid to get this one cos i see it on cheap sites.. does the filter affect the sharpness of the image? I see some other filters are cheap that the photo doesnt look as sharp
OMG, one can see an honest K&F filter review on youtube?? :O Thank you for that. Is there any VND filter (with at least ND400) that can be recommended? thanks!
I just shot with a K&F ND filter stacked with a Teffin Black Pro Mist 1/8 stacked at an outdoor function with my Nikon D3200 camera. You guys can come check it out so you can see this filter in action.
Thank you for the well explained review! Can i ask the difference between the different series of ND filters? (N, D, B, K, nano...). I bet it's about the glass but I can't find the real differences. If anyone knows, thanks in advance
תודה על הסרטונים :-) אני כמה ימים מנסה לחבר את המיקרופון etm 001 עם המתאם של הגופרו למצלמת gopro 6 וזה לא מצליח לי... הפכתי את כל האינטרנט ולא מצאתי... זה כותב standart mic אבל לא שומעים כלום בסרטון עצמו... יש לך דרך לעזור לי?
@@tuckerparsons9182 if you plan to buy any lenses in the near future then get a bigger size filter thread. Otherwise just get exactly what you need now, which is 55mm thread.
@@Romafedorov oh you're right!! Damn i just saw this listed on a local online store and it's even more expensive than the cpl-nd filter. I wonder where it really sits in their line up with the lack of hard stops. they really should've added them
Thanks bro for the honest review. looking at some online photo reviews, they have all said no X , but it has in fact. I can clearly see from my experience. Hoya is much better that K&F
Барахло, короче. Это эффект двух поляриков. Спасибо за видео, буду знать. А то, видел эти фильтры в интернетах и думал брать, Рома показал, что это фуфло.
you are not going ABOVE the nd400 mark, you are transitioning back to nd2 😂 that’s common sense if the filter has no hard stop 😂 does anyone record while actively adjusting the ring? 😂 that’s dumb
