Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good quality and easy to use but overpriced for what they are

I think most who look at these Kase filters have already done their research and found that the overall quality of the lenses is excellent. It must be resistant to breakage if dropped. Image quality and durability are the reasons I chose this system over similar magnet systems from Freewell and KandF. At the moment I'm not disappointed. But Kase is about 50% more expensive than Freewell, which in turn is 50% more expensive than KandF. Freewell also offers a wider range of lenses. Accessories are also cheaper. If you have multiple lenses then I have a full SLR Magic Cine system, all 82mm threaded. Well, for the system to make sense, You would need to buy a magnetic lens adapter for all lenses, otherwise you just plug and unplug a magnetic adapter like a normal system. The Kase lens adapter is $27 each! complete divorce. Freewell is $10 each. And you can't buy the KandF version because they don't sell them individually. I'm incoherent. I think if you want the best and are willing to pay the price, I think the Kase system offers the best quality. The free fountain is much cheaper and almost as good. The disclaimer only applies to unbreakability and not to image quality. KandF is new and has a very limited range of lenses. I will try to buy several lenses from each system to see if they are compatible. I will try the Freewell magnetic adapter and lens cap to see if they will work with Kase. Finally, I give Kase 3 stars, not so much for that. expensive. This is because at $525 I expect better consistency. For example, the CPL filter does not fit snugly into the magnetic adapter like ND filters do. There's a noticeable movement that makes me worried he's going to fall. Update: In case anyone is interested. The Kase lens is compatible with the KandF magnet system. However, the Freewell magnet system has reverse magnet polarity, so it will not work.
