Great review Alister 🤙

Excellent video; is 82mm recommended by kase for these 82mm fujinon. Their size guide sometimes suggets sizing up, which means 95. I'm on hitech formatt square filters and wondering whether to switch.

I have a Canon 5D3 with the Canon 16-35mm f4L lense. If I use the new inline adapter and one filter, will I get vignetting at 16mm?

Informative video on the Kase filters. I agree on the quality of the filters being the highest you can get if your camera lenses are expensive. Not quite sure which size I would need for my Nikon 24-70mm which has a 77mm filter size. Kase says I should then get the 82mm filter set. Do you have experience with the filter size being bigger than the actual defined size of your lens. One last question, who composed the music at the end of the video? it fits nicely to your great photography. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Marc. I always used the 82mm size on my 77mm lenses, and I am glad to did as two of my newer lenses are 82mm. Using step down rings is no problem. I use 82mm filters on my 67mm lens. I composed that piece of music myself in a couple of minutes when Ann said she needed something! 😂

I hope I can swap over to these magnetic filters some day (they are a bit to expensive for my wallet, but I know it’s worth spending your money on quality), I have arthritis in my fingers and it’s very difficult to change filters, especially when it’s cold. Beautiful images!

Hello! Great video and very helpful. I currently have a canon RF 24-105 F4 at 77mm diameter, my camera has a full size sensor (Canon EOSR) would you still recommend the 77mm diameter filter set with the “inlay” ring? Or should I go one size up to the 82mm diameter set? Would the inlay ring allow stacking without any vignette? Thank you 😊

@Alister_Benn

Hiya. With the inlay ring you would not get any vignettes. I usually only stack a CPL and 1 x ND filter. These filters are far less likely to vignette thank a traditional holder.

I have been using kase filters since 2019 and have also tried different brands but Kase is the best And their filter is, as Alister mentions in the video, a filter that can withstand being dropped. i have dropped my polarizing filter a number of times never broken But any filter can break regardless of quality if the accident happens And have never noticed anything strange with these filters, whether it concerns blue casts or other chromatic problems But if you're going to mention something negative, I've noticed that the lens cap comes off easily if, for example, you go under a branch or through a bush, because I've lost a couple but never lost a filter in this way

Alister, I have a Nikon Z6 ii camera and two 77mm lenses. I spoke to Kase and they indicated that to avoid vignetting, 82mm filters would be best rather than 77mm. The downside is the lens hoods would no longer fit. How have you dealt with that, or are your filters the same size as the lenses? My lenses are the Z MC105mm f/2.8 VR S and the Z 24-120mm f/4 S. Cheers

Hiya, honestly: if 24mm is your widest lens I think you’re fine with 77mm. Of course with a lens hood on rotating a circular polariser is difficult. I have 82mm filters on my 82mm diameter lenses.

I've been using the Kase magnetic filters for a couple of years. I love these filters, with one exception - the strength of the magnets. My Kase filters attach reasonably well but are easy to knock off the lens. If I use the lens cap and put the camera in my bag, the cap falls off with the slightest touch. It looks as though the new Revolution filters have much stronger magnets. Are you able to comment on how the new filters compare to the original model, particularly in magnet strength? Thanks!

Do you need to buy filters with a larger diameter than the lens to avoid vignetting when using multiple filters? Eg my Fuji 16-55 lens has a diameter of 77mm. Should I purchase the 82mm filters and a 77-82 step up ring or should I buy the 77mm filters?

I use 82 filters most of the time. With wider 77mm lenses, but also on a couple of my 82mm threads. There is a recessed magnetic mount for wide angle lenses that comes with the kit, you wouldn’t get vignettes even with 77mm. But I’d still go 82

I too have used Kase filters for a while, but after breaking a couple in my set of Wolverine magnetic filters (I have a curious 3-year-old and left them on my desk 🤦‍♂️), I purchased the new Revolution kit. Sadly, the new filters don’t work well with the older filters that haven’t been updated - neither my Black Mist nor CPL+ND filter sit properly so that they are light-tight if I’ve attached a Revolution filter onto the lens first. It has put a bit of a downer on the new kit, frankly, as it’s not truly backwards compatible. And these filters are yet to be replaced with a new version. It does work fine if you mount the Revolution filter/s on top of the older Wolverine filters, but I believe that filters should not be a barrier to creativity. The magnets are a little better on the newer filters, and otherwise I don’t have many complaints. But around the same time, I also picked up a set of Maven Filters from Kickstarter - and I’ve been really impressed with them, too. And, for several reasons, they have been the ones that have got the most use in the last couple of months.

As I still got a wide-angle lense on my wish-list (10-24mm, filter size 77mm), I wanted to got for the 77mm set with two step-up-rings für the other lenses to cover everything. Now I read, that one should buy one size larger than the biggest filter size to avoid vignetting issues. As this means spending more money on a larger kit plus a third step-up ring, I want to be sure that this is really right way to go...
