Who are K&F Concept?
K&F Concept (short for Kent and Faith) are a one-stop refined photography solution provider. Founded in 2011, they specialise in design, research and marketing of photographic and video equipment ranging from camera tripods, lens filters, camera bags, surveillance camera and other must have accessories for your photographic needs.
What is a Polariser Filter?
A polarising filter is an essential tool for any serious landscape photographer who wants to take beautiful shots.This useful tool changes the way a camera sees and captures light, especially in terms of reflections and glare.
When placed in front of a camera, a polariser can transform a flat image into one with deep contrast and vibrancy. It darkens bright blue skies, increasing the saturation of foliage and even allows you to manage reflections or reduce glare from the surface of water.
Simply put, it reduces the amount of reflected light from entering the camera sensor and cuts out the haze which allows you to capture a clearer image. This effect is unique to polarisers as the effect can not be replicated in post processing.
Packaging
The case with the filter is made of plastic but it feels really sturdy.
What's in the box?
In the box you will find a plastic case that securely holds the filter in a sponge like material. You can rest easy knowing that the filter will be steady and won't move around easily when the case is in your camera bag. The clip is strong as well.
Build Quality
The filter use AGC optical glass and the filter surface contains 28 layers of optical coating which has ultra high light transmission. The coating minimises reflections, flares and helps improve image quality. It is also water, scratch and smudge resistant.
The frame is made of an ultralight plastic and only weighs 1.1g. The frame and glass feel really solid, I have full confidence that the filter will withstand whatever I can throw at it and won't affect the gimbal performance in any way.
Real World Tests
As I expected, the filter really blew me away with its performance. I love the subtle saturation you get with water and skies and the reduction of glares. See below some real world tests.

Conclusion
I am very happy with the results I was able to achieve with the help of the K&F Concept Pro CPL Filter. I love how it takes away reflections on glass and water and how it adds just a nice amount of saturation to your shots. This filter will live in my camera bag for a long, long time. I can't recommend it enough.
