In the photography world, we're always looking for something that will help us get our work done just a little bit faster, a little bit easier, and a little bit better. It might be a lighter but sturdier tripod, a bigger and more useful backpack, or even filters to help get that tricky shot without having to spend hours in Photoshop after the fact. There's really no shortage of increasing quality and innovation in the products available for a photographer's kit, which is why K&F CONCEPT gear is so interesting.

Hasselblad has announced a set of new lens filters that it says meet the same stringent optical standards and high-quality marks as its lenses. It also launched a brightly colored strap that it bills as "eco-friendly."

H&Y has announced the Revoring Filter system and new clip-on filters in what it claims is the first filter product that can attach to lenses of different thread sizes and eliminates filter adapter rings.

NiSi has announced the V7 100mm Filter Holder Kit that includes a new True Color NC Circular Polarizer (CPL). The company says the system is the most advanced it has ever created.

Moment just launched an exciting new product for smartphone photographers: a line of high-quality 37mm Cine filters and compatible filter mount that you can attach directly to your Moment smartphone case.

Reflections are often unwanted, and glare will wash out an image. Polarizing filters counter the reflective measures and will deepen blues and add contrast to skies, reduce or remove reflections from water and windows, and increase contrast and saturation.

Photographers often use UV filters to protect the front element of their lenses, but tests have shown that impacts that shatter your filter will likely to damage your lens as well. Aurora Aperture wants to change that: they've created the world's toughest filters by using Gorilla Glass.
