I am happy to let you all know that i have spoken to Daisy at K&F and i am informed they are making a 3 stop and 6 stop ND filter plus working on a lens cap. As soon as these are availible i will be getting them and i will share this news with you.. I believe this is a very nice little kit.
I will hold off in that case, please let me know when these are available. I hope you will get a pay off for this Paul 👍
Question Paul. If you like the Kase filters and you have them, why are you changing to K&F? I have the Kase Magnetic filters and I like them. The only problem they all suffer from is the lens caps may not stay on if you are moving the camera around. I contacted them and they said (and it now says on their website) the cap is for camera bag protection. They also say that the magnetic pul will lessen if too many are stacked. Again, this is if the camera is being moved. I have never had them come apart, but I don't walk around with the cap on anymore.
Sharon, first i am not changing to K&F, i have a relationship with them they send me gear i take a look at it and show you guys... But i must say they are going in a very very good direction with the mag kit... Second i love my Kase glass its very nice quality and its meant to be drop proof toughened glass (not tested) but the issue saying that the lens hood is for bag protection only is crazy, that would mean i have to remove the filter ring and fit a standard lens cap when ever i walk around with the camera out the bag... i have had my lens cap come off twice and both time nearly lost it and at £20 a time thats not good.. i would not carry the camera over my shoulder with multi filters attached but i would hope to use the lens cap... This is why i am heading over to Freewell, the same top glass but a much better lens cap that will pull off the filter before falling off haha... K&F will be interesting once they have the lens cap and ND 3 & 6 that they are working on...lol
@@paulcomptonpdphotography I agree with you that their reply to my complaint about lens cap was terrible. I suspect they are trying to fix the issue. Certainly if the other companies get it right, they will lose out.
sure will
Thanks for a very nice video, I've ordered the K&F magnetic 82 mm. I've been useing their square ND together with my NiSi CPL and I'm very pleased with their performance. No color cast and as spot on with the Stops as possible. They follow NiSi's app 100 % on long exposure as far as 15 minutes so far. Still gonna keep my NiSi V6 square but the price on these K&F magnetic has to be a really good deal! I'm sold!
i still have my Kase and Lee square kits but not used them for ages
How did I miss this video, just what I wanted to see. Thanks for taking the time to share Paul.
very welcome.. i have a great deal for the K&F magnetic you get a good set ill add links under here

www.kentfaith.com/SKU.1708?tracking=61c8287d4cd2b
two kits make one great kit
i recommend getting the 82 and use a set up ring for each lens less vignette just in case
Looking great and compact, been waiting for this so happy to go with them now as I trust your unbiased opinion
i juts show what i see mate as you know
When you think about it its surprising its taken so long for magnetic filters to appear. I like K&F gear and their customer service is good as was illustrated to me when i needed some spares for one of their tripods. Nice straight forward review
i have to say they are grerat with me respond straight away i never have to wait..
Very impressed! A good side by side comparison in a real situation....well played!
had to be done
Thanks Paul - very helpful, and I like the straightforward style - nicely unfussy.
Very welcome keep it true
Hello Paul I like your style. This test was more real world Test so I like to thank you for that. On my Mac was as well a slightly green cast on the Kase filter but easy to change in post. Great Job. Thank you
thats good to know, i must take a closer look on my tv see what thats like
Thank you. I really was looking to see if Kase’s magnetic filter would fit K&F magnetic ring and was worried when the cap wouldn’t strongly stick but then by leaving the Kase ring at home you gave me my answer. Thank you. FYI, I have never left a comment before… that’s how thankful and happy I am I found your video.
please do even its its just thanks... it helps me
why don't you just buy a kase ring?
I bought an Olympus 8-25mm lens and wondered which magnetic filter system I should buy. Watched several YT videos, but this video makes all the difference for me. Since it is an ultra wide-angle lens, I will purchase a 77mm K&F filter system for this 72mm lens. I probably won't be bothered by vignetting then. Great idea about those carabiners! Many thanks for this instructive video👍
I have a new one ill be showing in the next couple week ITS THE BEST
Look great, I may wait until an nd2 or nd4 are available but definitely on the wishlist.
think thats a good idea
Another honest comparison great work
i do try i hate to be the same as everyone and just say nice stuff, i like honest reviews so i know what i am getting
As always a very fair and honest Compton style review perfectly filmed by Mrs C. I haven't checked but I am assuming that if you were to purchase either the Kase or Freewell 10 stop ND filter + polarizer + case then this would work out considerably more expensive than the K & F kit. If so then from your findings it would appear to be a no brainer to opt for the K & F as there appears that any differences in image quality between the three makes are virtually imperceptible 📷👍
well at the moment Freewell sell the seperate so each filter you get a lens ring, the Kase kit in a pouch basic set you get three ND filters and a lens cape, with K&F you only get one ND filter so it will depend on thier final price for the full kit?
Thank you for your great review I am now thinking of purchasing the K&F magnetic filter kit. Your review was very helpful 🙏
You are so welcome!
Great Review - Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant review,thinking about getting these filters
they are not a bad filter ket, make sure you use my link if you do
Thanks for this. Manfrotto decided to kill off Xume magnets so this is just what I needed to learn about.
your wel;come
Very good comparison video
thank you i think they did good with this kit
Nice review. I may get this set myself. I always thought that the Kase filters were overpriced for what they are. Thanks.
dont forget you get 3 filters in the kase kit
Great Product review Vlog, Magnetic filters, not sure about that one, thanks for sharing
mate once you try them you will love them, just not good if you like grads
Thank you...
welcome mate
Nice one Paul 👍 ......... Glad you did the comparisons against the KASE filters .......... worth exploring me thinks 🙂
i think so mate yes
Very interesting these filters Paul!! I'll be in the market for some come spring...
there should be a lens cap and ND3 & 6 BY THEN
@@paulcomptonpdphotography Yeah the full set!
goog man
A very honest review Paul and that's what you should be
you know me mate alway honest its why i upset folk haha
Just ordered this kit after watching your review 👍
Good choice! its not a bad kit at all
if you want other stuff i can send yo links..
@@paulcomptonpdphotography Thanks, being off with work with COVID and watching your back catalogue of videos is dangerous 🤣
like dangour mate keep watching and commenting i can see what your watching haha
Kase is the best filter I ever used
Well you not used Maven then, i own Kase filters and they have a colour cast lol
Great review.
Thanks!
Great review thank you Paul, I thought the k&f looked the best possibly more natural looking maybe with a slightly warm hint. The others seemed a bit blue, but I was streaming from my phone to tv so may not be accurate with my assumptions, look forward to your next release on Sunday 👍
Thanks for the call tonight mate was good to chat... also thanks for the comment on colour ill test them on my tv now
@@paulcomptonpdphotography great to chat with you both 👍
defo
You are imagining things.
Great looking kit but I'd switch the UV filter with ND6 or maybe even ND4.
i agree dont think we need a UV these days, they are making a 3 & 6 stop as we speak
Hi mate. Fabulous review
i do try mate haha
Hi Paul thanks for the heads up on the K&F Magnetic filter kit been pondering over magnetic kit for some time now as I use 100mm x 150mm so googled for best price found Kent&Faith offering great deal 82mm kit for £85 jobs a good one .
if you email me i can show you a great kit they make 2,4,6 &10 stop plus a CPL for less than £150
paulcomptonpdphotography.co.uk
My thoughts: On my mac the kase ND looked to have a Green tint compared to the others. could see the lightly Blue on the free well .Prefere the K&F .nice review .Be nice to see a compare with Lee ND .K& F v Lee .
Thank you so much for sharing that as i use a windows pc.. that is very interesting
I have to agree , on my Mac there is definitely a green colour cast with the Kase filter , very nice review of the K&F filter , it looks very neutral
Could i ask you both to have a look at my origenal filter test and let me know what you see in that
ruclips.net/video/Plvtt_mpZ78/видео.html
Does the freewell adapter fits the kase filter. Or do I need to use their own magnetic
adapter
I cant remember wich way round now. if you watch i am sure i say in the video
brilliant experiment between these filters Paul, very tittle to choose from, but there is a big price difference,the k & f is a great value for money option for me.
yep thats true
I have to ask do you calibrate your screen as you say that you can't see any difference between the filters? The K&F certainly appear warmer than the BLUE tones of Freewell and the GREEN of Kase. .Also the K&F appears SOFT if you study the central buttress c.f the other filters. I don't think I'lll be change my filters systems for awhile yet.
I just say it as i see it, my screen is not the best and maybe not perfect but i dont think most are... I am pleased you have said in the comment as people can see what you see... The softness could be me i only took one photo each..
I had the same observations as Charles. You kept saying that there's no difference but that is not true.
i see big color differences whenever you say the colors are identical :D
but great review nonetheless.
Kase more yellow
Freewell more blue
thansk for pointing out
I use a xf10-24 fuji which has a 72mm thread , I got a Kand F 77mm step up as my other lenses go up to that size. would you recommend I go to 82 to be on the safe side with vignetting?
Also what sort of arrangement should I use for a lenshood -I see Kase have one but K and F dont?
i always go to 82mmk... because if i ever change i dont want a new kit. plus less chance of vinette
@@paulcomptonpdphotography thanks for that, i agree -whats your opinion on lens hood -only case have one
Maven do lens hoods but they get in the way
The loop is really handy, you can hang even more off your rucksack 🤣
oh i cant wait lol
Great review, very informative and cracking videography by Mrs. C. K & F stuff is very good.
she did good
Hey there, great review. I found the compatibility with Kase lenses very interesting. Do you think the k&f kit would work with the kase magnetic step rings?
now thats i am not sure,
Probably a silly question but can the magnets affect the electronics in the lens in any way?
lol no mate i have never heard of that my L bracket has a magnet in as well
I just want them to make a slip in polarizer for their square filter system like Haida and Lee have.
Since you seem to have a relationship with them, maybe you could suggest it to them too.
It is annoying using a screw on Pol and the square filter system
i agree, its my biggest issue with the square kit not CPL... they did tell me they were working on a new system but now its all about the mag set
21:57 look at the stones in the bottom right corner. I see a significant sharpness advantage for the kase there.
thanks
I mainly use my 18-55mm when I’m doing Long Exposures, mainly due to only just switching to Fuji and I only have the 35mm otherwise but I’ll be getting a longer lens soo, which,I’m not sure yet. I bought the screw on K&F 10 stop and there’s some colour casting but not too much but it’s early good quality, especially for the price, less than £30. These work out a £92.99 at the minute for the 58mm I’d need which is hell of a lot cheaper than the Kate System
i would buy bigger mate for sure maybe 77mm and get the step up ring that way any fuji lens you buy it will fit
@@paulcomptonpdphotography Thanks, I’m new to Fuji, and Mirrorless, not sure I bought the right camera really but that may be down to not being able to get up and use it for Street Photography, the main reason I bought it.
what one you got, all the fuji are great for street
@@paulcomptonpdphotography The Xt3
very nice
Great comparison, thank you. I just got the K&F system and looking forward to using it. Though have you hear anything else about them doing a magnetic setting ring?
setting ring??
@@paulcomptonpdphotography Sorry magnetic stepping ring
Hello Paul,
thanks for introducing K&F magnetic filter system (also nice video by the way).
I have a question: Does the UV filter also have a filter thread at the top (I mean where the magnetic filters are stacked) so that the lens cap or other filters can be attached (ND0.9 etc.)?
Many thanks in advance for your reply.
Cheers and stay healthy
you use the UV filter instead of the filter ring
That's my idea, what I'm try to ask is if I can attach other filters or the lens cap at the UV-filter (or this adapter ring).
Only in this way it makes sense to me to use (to purchase) this system.
@@markustappeser841 Kase Skyeye magnetic system has normal thread for threaded filters but K&F doesn't.
Great video. Do you happen to know if they produce 3 & 6 stop NDs in the Magnetics? Seems a weird combination to have a 10stop and cpl and not a mid ground ND as well
They are making them now, they will let me know soon as they have them, plus they are making a lens cap as well.. I like the CPL and 10stop i think its the two you use most
@@paulcomptonpdphotography that's perfect. I found myself using a 6 stop more than any other filter but there were times I really needed a 3 stop. Think i used my 10 stop twice since owning it but its handy to have for sure. I'll keep my eye out for the others. Thanks!
soon as i get them ill show them mate with links in discription as well
@@paulcomptonpdphotography awesome thank you. I have the screw in Cpl so I they are amazing
good stuff
Hi Paul, just a quick question, I've ordered the k&f magnetic filter set and was wondering which is the best magnetic lens cap to get, as k&f doesn't seem to do one. Thanks in advance. P.S. Keep up the good work, you both inspire a lot of people.
K&F are making one now, it may be out very soon, if not the Kase one will work?
@@paulcomptonpdphotography Thanks Paul much appreciated.
welcome
Like the review , would your own lens cap fit on the filler ?
They are working on one now, i have been told soon as its ready i can share it with you.. you can however use a normal cap as long as you get the right size like i had to on the Kase kit as the cap fell off easy
@@paulcomptonpdphotography Thanks .
your welcome
Why the K&F has the fense's shadow but the Case don't has?
no idea, this is old now they have improved
I have a Kase Magnetic CPL kit, will a magnetic K&F ND stick to the Kase base ring?
I think it does yes... but dont quote me.. i did show it in a video i think
@@paulcomptonpdphotographyconfirmed, it works. K&F is a third of the price of Kase.
they are yes
Kase ND has a GREEN tint.Freewell has a BLUE tint. K&F has a warm YELLOW/ORANGE TINT. Which one is more accurate i can not tell
Try Maven haha
Do they make a magnetic Variable ND? That is wat I am looking for
not yet..
Hi, since it seems there is also filter shortage 🙂 I was wondering if you try to stack a Kase + K&F filter, like: kase PL + K&F ND. Thanks
if you mean magnetic ones they dont work
@@paulcomptonpdphotography yes I thought it was possible to stack magnetic ones, I will go with case I fill more confident that I may find them in the future. Thanks 😊
i use case, you are best to stick to one brand
the case lens cap is not very good it will fall off many time be careful
@@paulcomptonpdphotography I should get them today 🙂 I order ND8, ND1000 and PL and cap. Maybe I will also get ND64 ( not sure ). In Italy price difference between K&F and Kase from shops is negligible. Price are much higher on kase EU website, not sure if new stock will cost more. I saw also Neewer magnetic ones that are a little cheaper but I prefer to be in system where I hope can get a filter if I break it or a step-up if I need it. I did cheapout before and end up not have a continuity in supply
Nice review. I looked at buying a set of these but couldn’t find an additional magnetic mount for a different size lens. I did contact K&F but heard nothing from them so didn’t buy them. I wanted to fit a magnetic mount to each lens so I can just pop the filters straight on, if I bought a Kase magnetic mount would the K&F filters fit on it, you tried it the other way around?
i have just tried them and Kase and K&F both fit each other, but you can get a step ring for each lens
Thanks, I couldn’t find a magnetic step ring as an extra and getting a screw in one would make getting magnetic filters pointless.
sure you just look on ebay for standard step up rings and fit the mag ring to them
@@paulcomptonpdphotography but if I change lens then I need to unscrew from one lens and then fit to the other lens. This makes the magnetic filter useless as I may as well just keep my screw in ones. Surely the magnetic ring stays on the lens, you fit extra magnetic rings to each lens and keep them on, just clipping the filter on whatever lens you are using at the time. Now that you have said that the K&F fit on a Kase magnetic ring it wouldn’t be an issue I would get some Kase magnetic step up rings. But I was disappointed that K&F didn’t get back to me as I contacted them a couple of months ago if not more.
Thanks again for the review.
yes thats what i do, i know freewell you get a mag ring with each filter so you can add to each lens, i know kase you can but them as extras as i did. i am sure once k&f have finnish they also will have the rings but at least you know kase rins work with k&f filters haha
The Kase looked slightly green. K&F was warmer.
thanks for leting me know
Hello! would your comments still hold true today? or would you have any other recommendation?
today i use Maven Filters, but i have to say that i still stand by K&F they make some fery good filters at great prices
So you are saying k&F and Kase filter are interchangeable?
what ever i had in this video haha
I am afraid that „lens hood” is a quite different thing from „lens cap” :-)
so true
Shame you didn’t zoom into 100% to compare the sharpness. The freewell and kase looked a lot sharper on the 25% view
i never noticed any difference while editing the photos.. most are now about the same.. if you put any other piece of glass in front of your lens it has to loose a bit..
Nice presentation overall, very quick and straightforward. I would suggest rather than just saying there is or is not a color cast, use the software RGB values reading for various spots in the the image, and on white and or grey cards, to demonstrate it more exactly. The notion "a little bit more blue" is completely monitor dependent, as filtered by your eyesight. Use the numerical values!
To be honest if it looks ok i am ok with it..
It would be helpful if you could provide a concise summary. After watching this video I don’t see why you picked one over the other. If you’re sponsored by K&F just say so. Maybe you did and I missed it. If so, then sorry.
I am not sponcered by them and i am not paid by anyone.. I use Maven Filters now, watch that video i they are so so good ruclips.net/video/2YlO5PHM_qI/видео.html
@@paulcomptonpdphotography thanks. I watched it. Can you elaborate on what makes them better than the Kase ones? I think the maven adds the notches which I think is a good feature. But other than that, is it that you think they have no colour cast but Kase does? Also, does Maven offer a magnetic lens hood? Thanks!
Maven magnetic is much stronger than my Kase ones, the cap does not fall off as easy, yes they give you a magnictic cap with them, they are also developing a rear cap so you can carry in your pocket, great idea. plus the case they make is good as its a case that can carry all filters in poclet sfae and small. the colour and notches mak easy finding, the colour cast on my first test was ZERO and kase have a slight brown warm tint only slight.. I really like Maven.. oh and they are tinner. If you would like a set i can get it ordered for you just email me..
@@paulcomptonpdphotography thank you. I was asking if they offer a magnetic lens hood. Not cap.
@@paulcomptonpdphotography also curious about how they can be thinner and stronger at the same time? Do they use a different kind of metal or alloy?
ta
I bought an Olympus 8-25mm lens and wondered which magnetic filter system I should buy. Watched several YT videos, but this video makes all the difference for me. Since it is an ultra wide-angle lens, I will purchase a 77mm K&F filter system for this 72mm lens. I probably won't be bothered by vignetting then. Great idea about those carabiners!
