1 x Ultraviolet (UV) Filter
1 x Circular Polariser (CPL) Filter
1 x 10 Stop Neutral Density (ND1000) Filter
1 x 4 Slot Filter Pouch

A set of quality filters with the easiest attachment mechanisms imaginable.

With this innovative magnetic system you can effortlessly attach filters to your lens. No more fiddling with getting the fine thread pattern to perfectly line up. Now you attach the magnetic adapter and it can live in place on the front of your lens. Pop the UV filter on to protect your lens. If you want to shoot with the CPL or the ND1000 you can add it in front of the UV, as the filters are stackable. Or pop off the UV and swap it out with your other options. Changes are really fast and easy with less chance of dropping a filter as there is no rotational action or alignment needed.

The Magnetic Adapter or UV filter as Adapter
The UV filter included in this kit is threaded to attach to directly to your lenses. With the UV filter in place it acts as a magnetic mount to which you can attach the CPL or the ND1000 filter. You are able to leave the protective UV filter in place and add or remove, or even stack filters as you wish. If you want to use filters without the UV being in place, a magnetic adapter ring is included in this kit. Remove your UV filter and attach this magnetic adapter in its place instead. Now you have a new mounting point to which you can attach the CPL or ND1000 filter.

Being of slim design, this low-profile fitting will not result in vignetting even on wide focal lengths. With the adapter in place the filters included in this kit can magnetically attach to the front of the lens. The use of magnets means you never have to screw on or off a filter again. The filter cannot get stuck in place, and the thread cannot become damaged and worn over time. This system allows you to add or remove, swap or stack filters and it only takes a second.

The Multi-Coated Ultraviolet Filter (MCUV):
UV filter are designed to block the Ultraviolet light passing through the lens to the cameras recording sensor. Humans can't see UV light but some image capturing devices can, especially in older cameras. UV filters were created to prevent these unwanted wavelengths from degrading image quality. This diffraction causes a lack of sharpness, reducing overall image contrast and ultimately the quality. The impact is most significant in arial photography where images would be hazy and also often have a blue tint. The solution was to add UV filters to cameras which resulted in sharper images, with increased contrast, reduced haze, and blue tint. Today, UV filtering technology has progressed dramatically. For vibrant images, with true-to-life colours that pop, the K&F UV filter allows you to now capture the beauty of a scene in all its glory.

Lens Protection
One of the most common reason people use a UV filter on their cameras now days, is to protect the lens' front element from damage. A UV filter serves as a layer of defence for your lens's front element and the precious coatings on it. Having a filter in front of the lens guards it against dirt, scratches, fingerprints, and accidental damage. It's easy to forget how vulnerable camera lenses are, the tiniest scratch or smudge can negatively impact image quality drastically. With the K&F UV filter, you can be rest assured that your lens will get the added protection it needs without a loss in picture quality. This is especially important when you're traveling to remote locations or shooting in harsh environments, where your gear is exposed to the elements.

Why 28 layers of coatings matter
Multilayer Resistance Coating (MRC) provide several effects and benefits to the properties of the filter. The most obvious and important factor is the filters' ability to remove UV light. This filter is also coated to be hydrophobic. This means that the filter is designed to repel water. Water beads up and runs off the face struggling to adhere to the filter surface. This has two advantages; it is easier to clean as dirt or dust runs off as it clings to the water instead of the filter. Secondly water spots are less likely to ruin your photos as large areas of soft focus, where drops overlap your subject. So if you are shooting in the rain, mist or fog, or if you at a waterfall or waterpark, a splashed lens will not ruin rest of your day.

The Circular Polarizing Filter (CPL)
A circular polarizing filter is used by photographers to reduce glare and reflections on shiny surfaces and to increase the overall saturation and contrast of a scene. This is achieved by blocking certain wavelengths of light, which can have the effect of darkening blue skies and making white clouds pop out. Additionally, a circular polarizing filter can be rotated to adjust the amount of polarization, allowing photographers to control the intensity of the effect. This can be particularly useful for landscape photography, where it can help to make colours appear more vibrant and to make the sky appear more dramatic.

Why Photographers Love a CPL
Because they filter light through polarisation, CPL's can in effect, filter or control bounced light. This means it can remove reflections from surfaces like water, glass, paint, leaves, sky, waterfall, buildings and streets. This versatility is why photographers often want it on every lens they have. Cutting through glare and reflections helps your images to have more colour, saturation and better contrast. This type of filter can allow you to choose whether you capture the reflection of clouds on a lake surface or allow you to shoot through the surface and see into the water. Either option is available simply by rotating the filter to enhance or reduce the effect. Filtering the reflected ...
