Testing
The installation of the filters is very easy as the adapter used is magnetic and has a ridge which centers the filters in place. A great feature of this magnetic mounting system is that multiple filters can be stacked while maintain a good grip on the magnetic adapter.
The MCUV filter offers a good protection for the frontal glass element of your lens. In addition, it will also remove the blue tint that sometimes appears in broad daylight.

The CPL filter is by far the most useful of the included filters, as it will completely remove most of the reflections in a photo or video. This filter is especially useful when filming cars as the paint will reflect everything around the subject.

The ND 1000 filter will reduce the light reaching the camera sensor by 10 stops. This is useful when you want to capture a long exposure photo but without overexposing the image.
Final thoughts
The K&F Concept KF-1622 filter kit is available for around 105 USD or EUR on all major retailers. For this price, you get a good quality carrying pouch that will handle much more than just three filters and an adapter. Also, for this price you get three high quality filters and a magnetic adapter.
The build quality of these filters is very good, and the image quality is not affected at all by the filters. The coating used on these filters will also make them very easy to clean and offer an additional layer of protection against scratches.
The mounting mechanism is based around the magnetic adapter which on one side is great because the filters are very easy to install and remove. However, the not so good thing about this magnetic system is that if the adapter is lost, then the filters are impossible to attach to the lens, the MCUV filter being the exception here.
The performance of these filters is great, the UV and CPL filters are the best items in this kit, as they will get used a lot for street and car photography.
In conclusion, the K&F Concept Nano Magnetic Lens Filter Kit is great for beginners that will struggle to make the right choice when it comes to lens filters. This kit has the most important filters included, and has them packaged in a good quality carrying pouch. The filter kit is not cheap, but neither is a good quality filter, so it all evens out.
