Can we get professional results with the K&F Nano-X 10 Stop Filter?

K&F Concept sent me their Magnetic 10 Stop Nano-X Filter Kit to try some long exposure photography with. Let's take it out into the field and try it out in a few different scenarios to see if this filter can deliver professional image quality.

K&F Concept Magnetic 10 Stop Filter Kit Review

First up I wanted to try some day time long exposures so I headed down to the St Johns River.

Man holding a circular filter beside a camera on a tripod outdoors; text reads Magnetic filter system. — The magnetic system is very easy to use.

There were some decaying dock pilings out in the water and I thought they would make a great subject for a high key long exposure. I composed the pilings in the top third of the frame with reflections drifting off downwards.

Black-and-white photo of weathered wooden pilings standing in calm water, with a stark, minimalist mood. — Excellent sharpness on my first shot.

While I was out photographing here the rain bands continued to come through which was a great test for the filter coatings. And they did indeed hold up well. The water repelled off easily and when I did need to wipe it clean it came off easily. I can't complain.

Soon a massive rain wall began approaching from the distance. This gave excellent separation from the dock pilings so I included the background for the below shot.
