Just a quick disclaimer! K&F/Kentfaith did not sponsor this video, had no say in the content, and did not see a draft before public release. These are my honest thoughts after 6 months of use! Drop any questions down here and I'll make sure to try and answer :) Cheers, Murray Edit: I just got my hands on the Canon RF14-35 which is a 77mm thread. I'm using 82mm filters and there is no vignetting with one filter, but with two there is just a smidge only right at 14mm. Zooming in to 14.5/15mm it goes away. Pretty much exactly the performance I was expecting as the lens is known to have heaps of distortion so it was kind of to be expected. I will rarely be stacking filters at 14mm so its pretty much a non-issue for me, and it can always be cropped or cloned out in post! My friend uses 82mm filters on a Nikkor 14-30 and has identical performance.
Great to hear these are working for you. I've debated magnetic filters many times now, but, cost always has me gun shy. I also tend to put a CPL on and pretty much only use that as a filter choice... so screw on circular are my go-to still. That said, maybe when K&F brings their v2 around I'll be ready to drop some proper money into a magnetic set.
Good video and enjoyed the information and your experiences. I have just invested in the K&F system and still waiting to get out and put it to the test. I purchased the package which included the CPL+ND8+ND64+Magnetic Ring+Cap. I then purchased the ND1000 separately making a total of about £117 when using coupon. `i think that is a bargain price when compared to the competition.
Very helpful video. I wanted to ask, what kind of step up rings do you use? K&F says they don't suggest using step up rings with their magnetic filters cause it might be some issues.
Thanks Marinos. I use what they call a "Magnetic Adapter Ring" (82mm - 77mm) - it's under Lens Filters > Magnetic Lens Filters > Accessories. Haven't had any issues so not sure why they say that!
Really like these filters, bought a couple sets one small for my fuji and one larger for everything else.... wish they sold them separately would like the ND grad for the larger set but cant get one on its own. also would love colored filters for B&W film, hard to go back to threading filters on and off after using the magnetic ones.
Glad to hear they are working out for you. Yes I agree, the sets they are sold on could be improved! Not too many people making colour filters anymore it seems - best to go with tried and true Hoyas or something to that effect. Cokin make a few cheaper ones but they are big square filters if I recall correctly. Definitely can't compare to a magnetic set up - there's no going back!

Once you do end up magnetic I think you'll be happy you made the jump!

They look so easy to use!
SO easy!
