Kenko CPL PRO1 DIGITAL 55mm circulair polarisatiefilter

The Kenko CPL PRO1 DIGITAL 55mm Circular Polarizer Filter is a high-quality optical filter designed to reduce reflections, enhance color saturation, and darken blue skies. Part of the renowned PRO1D series, this filter features Digital Multi-Coating (DMC) for superior light transmission and flare reduction. Its slim aluminum frame minimizes vignetting on wide-angle lenses, making it an essential tool for both digital and film photographers.

Advantages

This circular polarizer effectively cuts through glare on non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, allowing you to capture clearer, more vibrant images. The multi-coating reduces reflections and ghosting, while the water, oil, and anti-static repellent coatings keep the filter clean and easy to maintain. The slim profile ensures compatibility with wide-angle lenses without causing dark corners.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography to deepen blue skies and enhance clouds
