Question Paul. If you like the Kase filters and you have them, why are you changing to K&F? I have the Kase Magnetic filters and I like them. The only problem they all suffer from is the lens caps may not stay on if you are moving the camera around. I contacted them and they said (and it now says on their website) the cap is for camera bag protection. They also say that the magnetic pul will lessen if too many are stacked. Again, this is if the camera is being moved. I have never had them come apart, but I don't walk around with the cap on anymore.

Sharon, first i am not changing to K&F, i have a relationship with them they send me gear i take a look at it and show you guys... But i must say they are going in a very very good direction with the mag kit... Second i love my Kase glass its very nice quality and its meant to be drop proof toughened glass (not tested) but the issue saying that the lens hood is for bag protection only is crazy, that would mean i have to remove the filter ring and fit a standard lens cap when ever i walk around with the camera out the bag... i have had my lens cap come off twice and both time nearly lost it and at £20 a time thats not good.. i would not carry the camera over my shoulder with multi filters attached but i would hope to use the lens cap... This is why i am heading over to Freewell, the same top glass but a much better lens cap that will pull off the filter before falling off haha... K&F will be interesting once they have the lens cap and ND 3 & 6 that they are working on...lol

No color cast and as spot on with the Stops as possible. They follow NiSi's app 100 % on long exposure as far as 15 minutes so far.

As always a very fair and honest Compton style review perfectly filmed by Mrs C. I haven't checked but I am assuming that if you were to purchase either the Kase or Freewell 10 stop ND filter + polarizer + case then this would work out considerably more expensive than the K & F kit. If so then from your findings it would appear to be a no brainer to opt for the K & F as there appears that any differences in image quality between the three makes are virtually imperceptible 📷👍

@paulcomptonpdphotography

well at the moment Freewell sell the seperate so each filter you get a lens ring, the Kase kit in a pouch basic set you get three ND filters and a lens cape, with K&F you only get one ND filter so it will depend on thier final price for the full kit?

Surely the magnetic ring stays on the lens, you fit extra magnetic rings to each lens and keep them on, just clipping the filter on whatever lens you are using at the time. Now that you have said that the K&F fit on a Kase magnetic ring it wouldn’t be an issue I would get some Kase magnetic step up rings.

The notion "a little bit more blue" is completely monitor dependent, as filtered by your eyesight. Use the numerical values!
