Hands on with the new K&F Concept Magnetic Filter System

[@trevorfinnis9111]

Another great video mark and another lovely area. Some nice photos to go home with to.

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Trev👍🏻 Reckon these falls will look superb in autumn with a few dead leaves scattered about.

[@mikeswoods]

The K&F magnetic filter set would be great if they decide to sell additional magnetic ring adaptors so you can then use the filters on multiple lenses, otherwise its back to screwing the ring on each time you want to use them 🤞

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Mike. I’ve forwarded your thoughts to the K&F team and I will let you know as soon as they come back to me👍🏻

[@mikeswoods]

@@MarkKerton Brilliant thanks Mark. Its a shame as K&F make really good equipment and I have bought from them on several occasions, but with regards to the magnetic filter kit, it would be better if you could also buy additional magnetic ring adaptors to fit to other lenses (as we all have too many lenses !!). BTW you have a new subscriber so keep up the good work :📷👍

[@MarkKerton]

Ah thanks Mike, really appreciate your support on the channel. They come back and said the magnetic ring isn’t currently available on its own, which is a bit annoying! However, the rep said she would put my request forward to the production team, so fingers crossed🤞🏻 Thanks again Mike👍🏻

[@eddhobday]

I'm just looking into these and had the same thought about the stand alone ring. Looking at the website it seems there are now available 👍

[@nuklearpuppy]

I have the Fuji Xt4 and am hoping I can use step down rings from lenses. 72mm is my biggest lens adapter going down 55-250 which is 62mm and 18-55 58mm and samyang 12mm is 67. Using the step down rings means I can buy the 72mm kit and step down through the lenses

[@aarjaycee3601]

some lovely shots here, I've just ordered this set of filters, am so looking forward to trying them out when they arrive

[@johnsparkes8963]

Stunning location Mark with very nice images. Glad you are pleased with your filter system. Thanks for sharing take care.

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks John. It’s a super waterfall. Super scenery and great for testing the CPL out. Thanks for watching👍🏻

[@martinstokes5596]

Smashed it again Mark !!..excellent vlog and some cracking images..have to say you are finding some super locations since your move north..

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Martin. Really enjoying having a good explore about. Ever place I’ve visited just lately I’ve said I want to return! Spoilt for choice really!

[@trevorwilkinson244]

Another great blog Mark… keep them coming, looking forward to the 10 stop info take care 👍

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Trevor. I filmed a brief vlog down at my local seafront last night using the magnetic 10 stop. That’ll be up next week. Thanks for watching Trevor👍🏻

[@tbr79]

I also bought this product. One thing I like it BUT on their website it is said even with all 3 filters no Vignetting with 16 mm wide lenses. That is not true at all with 16mm and ND + CPL Filter I get really bad Vignetting in all corners. I am suing a 67 mm lens. Would it make any differences getting the 82mm kit and use a step up ring?

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching. I will ask K&F your question and get back to you👍🏻

[@stevemozzie6497]

Another cracking video Mark, thanks. Been having a think about the K&F magnetic system. Use quite a few of their adapters with my collection of manual lenses.

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Steve. Really impressed with their magnetic system. Defo converted me now. Thanks for watching Steve👍🏻

[@ianjohnston1166]

Great location, great images, great video, i think that says it all. :)

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks so much Ian, really appreciate that👍🏻 Great support, thanks Ian

[@andrewkunyev5243]

Hi Mark. Great review. May I ask if when only CPL is used, can you see any vignetting at the widest angle? And also can you add lens hood on top of polarizer? Thanks

[@gorannilsson4721]

Seascapes without a lenshood seem strange and stupid. Useless !

[@ITSMDGM]

any issues with these falling off?> seen a few vids suggesting the magnets arent that strong

[@easy56wedge]

Subscribed! Enjoyed your review and photography. Well done. I’ve recently downsized my gear to three lenses, a Nikon D810 (backup) and a new Nikon Z8 which is not my primary body. I have two lenses with 77mm filter size I have another one with 95mm. Looking hard at the K&F magnetic system or possibly KASE. Maven and PolarPro are too expensive. Freewell is not waterproof. Breakthrough Photography has not released their magnetic filter system yet but experience tells me it’ll be great and very expensive.

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for subscribing and supporting the channel and for watching the video, much appreciated. I really enjoy using the filter kit and as yet found no problems with it whatsoever. Nice strong magnet and easy to function.👍🏻

[@AlexandreFagundesdeFagundes]

Hi Mark, just bought the filters, using with my 24-105 and 14-35 on my Canon R5, The system is everything you say, great quality and super easy and handy to use. You should mention that under 26mm you start getting vignette if stacking more than one filter, and with 3 filters you need to go with more than 35mm, though. I wish I knew that before, maybe its a good idea to have the filters with a larger diameter and move up so they might dont do the vignette, what do you think about that?

[@steadycamman1]

Great video Mark, thanks for your extra efforts to make the production of the videos Amazing , regards Pete 👍

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for your support👍🏻 Really enjoy creating the b roll, adds a little extra to the vlogs.

[@f4.therapy]

Top job Mark! 👍

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching David, appreciate it👍🏻

[@roman9509]

ow that's a wonderful location!

[@MarkKerton]

A beautiful place to relax

[@stubrides8766]

Great video. Magnetic seems to be the way it's going. But K&F letting the side down. By not introducing a kit with 3 and 6 stop filters invluded.

[@Metragnome_Images]

Great vid thanks... one thing... are other K&F circular filters compatible with the the magnetic system?... would like to get the soft grad and a 3 stop ND... can't find what the compatibility is. Cheers

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Colin. I suppose you could thread you polariser on first and then pop the magnetic ring on the polariser. I'll look into it for you.

[@habin_oce]

so.. you need to put magnet ring first to attach filter?

[@MarkKerton]

That’s right, yes, first, you need to screw the magnet ring onto the Lens which will then enable you to swap the filters as required👍🏻

[@davidsadler2181]

Nice review! Do you know if the K&F adapter ring works with magnetic filters made by other manufacturers ( Freewell, Kase, Haida, Xume)?

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching David. I will be shooting tomorrow with a good friend who has the Kase magnetic system. I will see if they are compatible and let you know👍🏻

[@walterwiniana]

Thanks for this video, it was great and very helpful! I’m thinking of getting this filter system for its ease of use! Again thank you 🙏

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Walter. I love this filter kit, so easy to use snd it produces great results👍🏻

[@abacab1701]

Do they have stepdown rings, or do you have to buy differing sizes of filters based on lens diameter?

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching James. I have forwarded your question to the K&F team and will let you know as soon as they get back to me

[@jameshunt4815]

@@MarkKerton Thankyou

[@MarkKerton]

Hi James. The K&F team have sent me a link to their step down rings. Great question James👍🏻 www.kentfaith.com/search_set%20up/SKU0629_18-in-1-lens-filter-step-ring-set

[@NT_1]

The place is lovely! Great review as well. How strong are the magents tho? That's the only thing keeping me from buying this. I've heard that the magnets are weak and can easily drop off the lens. Have you had that problem ?

[@user-go8yr4rc5e]

Thanks Mark, very interesting. Any thoughts on a magnetic lens cap, or does the standard one clip to the inside of the magnetic adapter? Cheers.

[@MarkKerton]

Great question👍🏻 I’ve put the question to the K&F guys, let you know what they come back with. Thanks for watching

[@sharvinkrishnan4939]

What app did you use to stack the pictures

[@sharvinkrishnan4939]

What lens did you use and how to bump up the aperture

[@MarkKerton]

Hi. I think I used a free program called StarStaX sorry, I thought I’d mentioned it in the video!

[@MarkKerton]

The lens is a 17-40 f4👍🏻

[@vilacron]

do you feel confident in the strength of the magnet when moving the camera around? are you not worried about the filter not disengaging unintentionally?

[@MarkKerton]

Yes, I gave the camera a good swing about and bump and the filter stayed on fine👍🏻 Thanks for watching

[@Glasairman]

Mark, thanks for the video. What are the downsides optically of buying the 77mm set version instead of 82mm and adapting up (my 82mm is a Tamron 150-500mm which I rarely use). Some cutoff possibly? The other lenses I have are 72mm, 67mm and 49mm and am happy to adapt down for them. Just want to save bit of space and weight, but not vital if there associated disadvantages on the Tamron

[@fitzyslobstershack5335]

Loved the vid Mark and subbed but if you have various lenses of different sizes i think it could get expensive ... That lens you was using maybe a #67 or 70+ ... so what im saying to cover all your lenses on the bigger side like a 150 to 600 you would have to purchase the bigger kit to start with .. Just my thoughts... Anyway loved the enthusiasm and your vlog ... keep it up ... all the best

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Fitzy, appreciate your support. I know they are now selling step down rings. Unfortunately they are not selling the magnetic rings separately for some reason? I have fed this concern back to them so watch this space. Thanks for watching

[@sophietucker1255]

Great images and the magnetic system is nice but I take it you never have occasion to use a graduated neutral density filter

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Sophie. I do have a set of grads but for some reason just lately I have been stacking frames instead. I ought to get them out again. Thanks for watching👍🏻

[@NikCan66]

Another tour de force by Mr Kerton

[@christophersaul4993]

Wonderful video and fantastic pictures Mark. It's a shame they don't do a 3 stop or 6 stop.... would be a great kit otherwise......

[@chrisandashleigh9679]

Does your 77mm lens hood still fit while using these filters ?

[@andrewmcleanphotography]

I agree with you, the last composition was the best. The filters looked easy to use and quick to swap them in and out. Well done.

[@micksullivan6678]

If its true that they dont do a 3 stop and 6 stop and there is only a 10 stop available then its a pretty pointless system in my opinion as you wil need to take your original system if u wanted use 3 or 6 stops

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Mick. I filmed this over a year ago now, so will try and find out if they have 3’ & 6’s in stock now👍🏻
