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

What size slip-on cap fits the 77mm size? Spec says front is 82mm; only push on is Kaiser 82 & people say it it's not a 82mm.
Asked by: Ben
@Dan W: does the Sensei snap on require a thread to attach to? Because this variable ND has no externally facing thread, as far as I know. That is why other Q&As point to needing a slip-on cap.

Will my lens cap fit on this filter? The lens is a Lumix 12-35 micro 4/3.
Asked by: NW Audio Group
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.
