Magnetic Filters

Magnetic Filter systems are nothing new to photography, as these systems have been around for several years. I decided it was time to give them a try and was very pleasantly surprised at the ease of use. No more fumbling around with screw on filters and using an external holder with slide in filters. When the light is rapidly changing that is the last thing you want to be fooling around with. I went with the K&F filter system as the reviews were very good and the quality is definitely important to me! Below is the system I decided to buy.
Picture
 
  • * 【5-in-1 Filters Kit】Combination Way 1. Magnetic Adapter Ring + ND Filter. This filter kit includes GND8+ND8+ND64+ND1000 + Magnetic Basic Ring + Filter Pouch.
  • * 【Light Reduction Effect】The ND8/ND64/ND1000 provides a 3/4/10 stops light reduction effect and fits a partly cloudy day and a bright sunny day. The nd1000 filter can create the silky effect of item movement.
  • * 【1 Second Swap】This magnetic lens filter kit could finish swap in less than one second compared with conventional thread filters. Never miss any wonderful moment.
  • * 【28 Multi-Layer Coatings】All filters are made of imported AGC high-definition premium optical glass, double-side multicoated, no chromatic aberration (color shift) waterproof, scratch resistant, and dustproof. Provides you with a perfect photography experience, protecting your lens from all around.
  • * 【Ultra Slim Frame Avoid Vignetting】1.9mm-3.33mm ultra slim frame ensures no vignetting and dark corners on 16mm wide-angle focal length. CNC non-slip system frame, easy to install and remove.​​


I also purchased a Circular Polarizer Filter as well. I find this to be a necessary filter to cut the glare on water scenes and to enhance color such as blue skies. This is the filter I purchased.

  • * 1. The CPL filter effectively eliminates the reflection of the non-metallic surface, thereby improving the image quality of the subject, and increasing the clarity of the picture can effectively increase the saturation of the color. The lens adopts a double-sided polishing process and is used on a telephoto lens. The photos are still clear, high-fidelity, restore the true colors of things;
  • * 2. Quick installation and removal, magnetic filter can be installed in one second
  • * 3. Ultra-thin frame design, which can effectively prevent vignetting when using a wide-angle lens. The frame is processed by CNC, and the appearance is full of layers.
  • * 4. After the glass is optically polished, a high-tech film is plated on the surface. "Moldproof", "Waterproof", "Scratch-proof" and "Greasy-proof". While having the characteristics of hard scratching, it will not have any impact on the image quality, even if it is contaminated with water droplets or oil, it can be easily removed;
  • * 5. Equipped with aerospace-grade aluminum alloy material magnetic lens cover, both magnetic and threaded, you can install the lens, two-in-one function. Both attachment ring & magnetic metal cover included.



I feel this is a great next step in simplifying and lightening your photography kit. I found this was a great investment in saving time in the field and making my filter system much easier to use.

    I have always been interested in photography and worked in 35mm film medium as a start over 30 years ago. Since life has allowed me to have more time lately, my photography passion has taken on a new meaning in my life. I enjoy reading, studying, and practicing my craft as often as possible. I have been fortunate to have been on workshops with some of the best modern day landscape photographers. I love the digital world for it's many abilities to provide outstanding quality images. Did I say I love,love,love landscape photography. We have such a beautiful and amazing world, it is a joy to capture it in it's best presentations. I hope you enjoy the blog and post comments so that we can all learn together!
