Unboxing the Kase Revolution Magnetic Filters

I unbox a Kase Revolution Magnetic Filter Kit that I received from Kase and talk about the features of the filters for landscape photography and the two features that have me the most excited.
Magnetic filters are a great tool for any landscape photography. The Kase filters make putting a filter on, changing filters, and even stacking filters fast and easy. This latest product from Kase brings several improvements to their previous Kase Wolverine line.
Note: I am a Kase Ambassador and Kase provided these filters to me.

    I found that a little care is needed when using the clip instead of the belt loop… First, the magnetic catch on the pouch is sometimes tricky to get seated. You sometimes have to hunt for the recess to get the button into (you’ll see what I mean if you own it). If you don’t get it captured and you are using the clip, the pouch will *swing* around and maybe bounce off you when you walk and the cover can flap open. I lost a filter this way. It bounced out of the pouch while walking back to my car believe it or not. The belt loop provides a more stable solution if you are wearing a belt.

    Definitely a good call out, I'm pretty careful with the magnetic clip for just the reason you describe. I try to remember to remove the case when I am moving from spot to spot, but I've lost count of how many times I've forgotten and been scrambling over something. Sheer luck that I haven't lost a filter yet!

    BTW, Kase UK seems to recommend 95mm filters for the Nikkor 24-30mm S lens in their circular filter selection guide. "Whatever your largest thread size is, go up to the next size. This will prevent vignetting when stacking on wide angle lens." Is this still the case with the Revolution series? @KaseFilters

  • @JeffreyTadlockPhotography

    If you want to ensure no vignetting - going up to the next size is the *best* way to do it. In efforts to try to keep my gear packability as small as possible, I try to get by with a filter size that matches my largest thread size. With the Revolutions, even with the inlaid ring, I do get some slight vignetting when stacking filters (Nikon 14-30), but not as severe as with the original magnetic adapter ring. I'll have a video where I talk about that in some more detail after I get some more use with the Revolution filters. Hope that helps!

    Hello! Great question! So I have used and reviewed both Kase Wolverine (I paid for), Kase Revolution (received from Kase), and MAVEN Wave 1 (I paid for) and Wave 2 filters (I received a few from MAVEN). I think both sets of filters have several things in common and I don't think any of the brands or lines of filters had a negative impact on my photography. Both solved the big things I was looking for with filters - magnetic for fast and efficient switching of filters, nor more stuck threaded filters (that really annoyed me with threaded filters). MAVEN launched with color coding and Kase followed with the Revolutions - I really like the color coding. With all that said, I am now using MAVEN filters and have been since the early part of the year. I think the color coding on the MAVEN filters is easier to see at a glance, it is more bold and prominent on the metal ring. It is a small thing, but makes it easier to grab the right filter or spot it in my camera bag. The color accuracy of the ND filters from MAVEN is top notch. I really like that MAVEN released the DarkCPL filters (ND combined with CPL) as it nearly eliminated vignetting on my wide angle (Nikon 14-30mm) lens. I like the linear polarizer MAVEN released as well. I hope that helps - happy to answer any questions you might have!

    Yeah, the step-up rings are screw-on, not magnetic. I leave my step-up rings on all the time. So I can just grab a lens and know I have the ability to attach magnetic filter. So for my lenses, 82mm is the largest filter size I have and the rest of my lenses get step-up rings from the smaller size to 82mm. Hope that helps!

    I found filters I've had for awhile, but never really used them, and I was thinking of getting some quality ones, and came across your video with this magnet system. Now I'm really looking to get the system. Great video! You sold me! I did have a couple questions though. I have 49 and 67 diameter lenses, all of my lenses are one of those. I was thinking of getting the 77 diameter ones, and two step up rings from 49-77 and 67-77. Since I didn't want to mess with installing the magnetic ring initially and removing that, when I think the step up rings seem to be easier to swap around different lenses. Is there any major drawback to doing that over just getting the 67 diameter kit here, and one step up from 49-67?

  • @JeffreyTadlockPhotography

    @JeffreyTadlockPhotography

    4 ай бұрын

    There isn’t really a major drawback to using the larger filter and step-up rings, in fact, that should help eliminate vignetting that might occur on a wide-angle lens when using it without a step-up ring. The 77mm size might cost more though than 67mm, so keep that in mind (that can sometimes be a con). Hope that helps!

    @@JeffreyTadlockPhotography Definitely helpful. I was looking at the step up rings for 49-72 and 67-72, but they were out of stock on at least one of those. Decided to go ahead and order the step up rings from 49-77 and 67-77, along with the bigger filter collection to get the neutral light filter and the UV one. Since I do a lot of studio portrait work lately, will only put the step up rings on when needing them for outdoor shoots. Another tool in the toolbox, especially with outdoor photo season coming in the Pacific Northwest.

  • @JeffreyTadlockPhotography

    The step-up ring screws into the filter threads on the lens. Once I attach it, I leave the step-up ring on all the time. From then on, I can easily attach a magnetic filter, detach a magnetic filter, or swap filters as needed. Only the step-up ring gets screwed on, once it is on the magnetic filters attach magnetically, Super convenient and allows easy filter changes across all my lenses. Hope that helps!

  • @JeffreyTadlockPhotography

    @JeffreyTadlockPhotography

    9 ай бұрын

    You are correct - the step up ring prevents using a lens hood and having a filter on can increase the chance of lens flare - so definitely things to watch out for. For times I do want to use a filter and experience flare, I usually use my hand or hat to shade the front lens element to prevent/reduce that. You do have to watch for it though. I don't always use a filter shooting into the sun either - the CPL is my favorite filter and it does best when the sun is 90 degrees to the scene. Shooting straight into the sun the polarizing filter effect is greatly diminished. (With that said, I still don't remove the step-up ring and if I am experiencing flaring I use my hand or hat to shade the front lens element. Hope that helps!

    That seems a large range of focal length to see vignetting caused by addition of a filter. When I use a 14-30, a magnetic adapter (not the inlaid), and then stack 2 filters, it usually disappears at 16mm. When you say 24, is it a Nikon 24-70mm? There is some natural vignetting even without adapters or filters on it. Check out this link: www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/mirrorless/lenses/24-70mm-f4.htm#falloff Also - if a Nikon camera, make sure Vignette control is to at least Normal (It is under Photo Shooting Menu and then scroll down to Vignetting Control).
