Kenko 49mm PL Filter PRO1D Circular PL NEO - Contrast and Reflection Adjustment Filter with Water-Repellent and Stain-Resistant Coating, Slim Frame, M

Kenko

The Kenko PRO1D Circular PL NEO is a circular polarizing (PL) filter that eliminates reflections and enhances color contrast. It reduces reflections on water surfaces and glass, resulting in more vivid depictions of blue skies and fresh greenery. This Japanese-made model features a water-repellent and stain-resistant coating for comfortable outdoor use.

It employs a multi-coating with a surface reflectivity of less than 1%, reducing flare and ghosting in a high-performance PL filter. The blackened outer edge of the glass suppresses internal reflections, resulting in clear and sharp images. The thin frame design is compatible with wide-angle lenses and prevents vignetting.

The water-repellent and stain-resistant circular PL filter provides peace of mind even in scenes with water splashes, such as waterfalls, streams, and beaches. Water droplets and fingerprints can be easily removed with a blower or cloth, ensuring uninterrupted shooting. Ideal for outdoor photography.

The front and rear frames feature knurling (anti-slip) for smooth adjustment of the PL effect and easy filter attachment/detachment. Featuring a front-threaded design that allows for lens cap and hood attachment even with a filter mounted, this filter offers excellent practicality.

Recommended for landscape photography, skies, autumn foliage, and architectural photography, this circular polarizing filter controls sunlight reflection and atmospheric scattering, bringing out the subject's true colors. It's a standard PL filter from Kenko that balances cost performance with high image quality.
