K&F Concept Variable ND Fader 1-8.6 Stops Reviews

Acceptable on wider shots (less than 80mm)

By Nicholas
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-24

I recently purchased these for a job using Canon CN-E 18-80 & 70-200. The job had 3 shots: Wide - Sigma 18-35, Medium CN-E 18-80, and Tight, CN-E 70-200. It worked fine for our wide and medium shot but our tight shot that was close to 200mm was very soft focus and wasn't able to be sharpened. Previously I had a NiSi ND for these lenses and will be going back to them for at least my 70-200mm. Otherwise, these worked fine for the 80mm shot and 18mm shot.

Great

How this filter is different than the k&f variable nd filter with nano coating and coats $89?
Asked by: Jaymalya
The difference between the K&F Concept Variable Fader ND Filter (72mm, 1 to 9 Stops) and the K&F Concept Nano-X Variable ND Filter (72mm, 1 to 9-Stop), B&H # KFNXN2400F72, is that the Nano-X version features coatings that provide a hydrophobic and scratch-resistant protective layer as well as reduce reflections, glare, and flare while maintaining color accuracy and sharpness.

Would this fit or which will fit a Sony A7 IV 28-70mm Lens?
Asked by: Daniel
Absolutely, kinda. Your 28-70 has 55mm filter threads so you will need a 55 - 77 step up ring. thread the ring on the lens and then thread the 77mm filter on to that. Benefit of getting the 77mm now instead of the 58mm? When you move to brighter or longer lens with larger filter threads you only need a inexpensive step up ring to fit your comparatively more expensive filters.

The front thread for this K&F Concept Variable Fader ND2-ND400 Filter (58mm) would actually be 62mm, so your current cap will not fit.

Can you please confirm this will fit on the Tamron 17-28 f/2.8 Di III RXD lens. Will the 72mm front thread accept a 2nd filter?
Asked by: Gordon
The Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD Lens for Sony E has 67mm front focus threads. As such, the K&F Concept Variable Fader ND2-ND400 Filter (67mm) would be compatible to fit the front filter threads on the Tamron 17-28mm lens. A 72mm filter would not directly fit on the front of the Tamron 17-28mm lens without the use of a step-up ring such as the Sensei 67-72mm Aluminum Step-Up Ring, B&H # SESUR6772.
