I mean it does makes sense that there's crosses at above ND400. It is advertised to be ND2-ND400. So you are getting what you pay for.

@mecseki777 3 месяца назад

And he say nothing happening between nd2 and400 😂😂😂 he has no eyes? 😂😂😂

@paleyosezi3122 Год назад

This one is as honest as it gets. Great review

@LuisOrtiz-rc1db 2 года назад

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

@RomaFedorov 2 года назад

Not a big problem if you are aware of this, but i think it wouldve been nice to have a locking mechanism to prevent the crosses from ever showing up.

@LuisOrtiz-rc1db 2 года назад

@@RomaFedorov Yes, a stop would be nice. Manufacturers would be listen our commentaries

@redsox7897 10 месяцев назад

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.

@JCCruising 6 месяцев назад

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.

@nightdonutstudio 2 года назад

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.

@RomaFedorov 2 года назад

For the price i also think that this is a great one.

@Wydra89 Год назад

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)

So if you use the product incorrectly you get a bad result. Got it. Great review bud... Never would have figure that out with out your help.

@AyoolaBoyejo Год назад

You should always reset your white balance no matter the ND filter brand you are using. Also, your ISO should be at the lowest when shooting outdoors.

@lynyrdmatias4653 11 месяцев назад

I think 640 is the lowest ISO for F-log

@JCCruising 6 месяцев назад

@AyoolaBoyejo he's shooting in LOG format as he mentioned. Most cameras are between ISO 500 and ISO 800.

@palomino9860 Год назад

Thank you for such an awesome presentation. I just want to mention, though, that I think you have the shutter speed and the ISO numbers reversed.

@spiderthenics9462 Год назад

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 ?

@Robertoblues Год назад

Can i mount more filters on top o the K&F VND?? does have threads for that?

@renzbu1 2 года назад

ofcourse its going to have X if you go above its specs.. lol

@vitorix24 2 года назад

yeah that's what I was thinking. Between 2 a 400 it's fine. above 400 until it rotates back to 2 ofc it has Xs... :

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.

@Hugh_Jaynus_00 Год назад

Crazy. If you use it incorrectly, you get crosses.

@danielfulop 3 месяца назад

I'm curious if they corrected this problem since? Anyone is using it recently?

@DMRCapitalHill Месяц назад

It’s warmer I like it. Minor adjustments

@bettyeverett8089 2 года назад

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.

@mnpianoforte 2 года назад

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

@gentabuana.photography 10 месяцев назад

the coating, means the more coating applied (ex 18,24,28,32) the less the reflectivity occur from the filter itself, that's all i've been read from

@gentabuana.photography 10 месяцев назад

been almost 2 month still finding out which nd filter do i realy need, is it 2-400 or 3-1000

@Booyamakashi 2 года назад

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.

@marcocarag103 2 года назад

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.

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 2 года назад

Maybe you got the older model, K&F has so many ND filters. its pretty confusing.. I'm sure you'll like the FREEWELL system, its really awesome!

@DimusTech 2 года назад

@@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!)

he is above 400 and below 2 that's why x appears, its the edge of 2 polarizing lense meeting. its pretty normal for a budget nd filter
