The one thing I always was curious about these types of filters (ones where you cannot attach a hood and that don't have some sort of built-in hood) how well they were able to help shield from things like reflections especially when using multiple filters stacked in the system. This has always sort of bothered me about square filters in general to a point where I always just bought round screw-in filters for the lenses I need them for (thus costing probably more than a single square filter kit that can work on a number of different sized filter threads but am finding as my lens collection grows so does the filter collection).

Just picked up the Freewell K2 after watching this video. I was looking for a kit like this that was an integrated system, and that can be adapted for different filter thread sizes. Now that I have my hands on it, you can see its a quality piece of engineering as well. Thanks Matt.

I love that someone is forward thinking with these fliters but without the abilty to attach a hood, even some flimsy one, I doubt I will invest until they work that out.

I’m an old school photographer- 35mm. Technology has changed so much. I’ve alway loved using filters. Specifically in strong lighting. It helped balance tones & prevented over exposed pictures. Your very correct not all filters are created well. I’m retired now, living on a set income. I find myself having to find ways to mount or hold my old filters for iPhone or small compact digital travel camera. Where there is a will, you find a way to adapt. Canon, Sony are my favorite & preference. I am very interested in your filter giveaway. I’m very interested in your KZfaq videos. Thanks. Much appreciated.

The only filters I ever use are CPL and ND filters. Everything else can be done in post with the advantage of retaining the original RAW file. Once you use an FX filter, like a bloom filter for example, that is your starting point for editing, which is a limit in itself.

In the few cases where I could use a grad ND, I find it easier to just either take 2 exposures, or even just a single one that’s exposed for the sky, and do the work afterwards. You’re not always working with a straight horizon. I do use regular ND filters to achieve a long shutter speed, or to be able to use fill flash on a bright day and stay under the flash sync limit. I also have a CPL, but don’t use it often at all. I just don’t find they add that much. This is not to speak negatively about the video. It’s just that I don’t want to overcomplicate things when I’m already traveling with a big camera and 3 lenses.

I generally only use 3 filters. B+W polariser, B+W 10 stop and Singh Ray reverse grad. I will say I have never had any issues with any of the three filters that I use affecting image quality. This looks like a very decent system and much easier to use than having to screw filters on and off. Thanks for the review.

Could not agree more. This is not a test, but an ad. Variable ND creates an X pattern from 15mm just like any other system. Color cast is not an issue with other systems except really cheap ones. It is certainly a good product for some users, but the click bait title and lack of real testing against other filters is disappointing here. Not used to this from this channel.
