Product features (Kenko PRO-1D)

Optical features

• UV Absorption: The filter absorbs ultraviolet (UV) rays, which helps reduce the effects of atmospheric haze that can make outdoor photographs appear washed out and indistinct.
• Multi-Coating: Digital multi-coating on both sides of the filter glass reduces lens flare and ghosting caused by reflections. This technology was added to the PRO-1D series to improve optical clarity.
• Optical Glass: The filter is made with high-quality optical glass that ensures minimal impact on image sharpness and color balance.
• Black-Rimmed Glass: The filter glass is black-rimmed to prevent internal reflections off the edge of the glass itself.

Construction features

• Low-Profile Frame: The ultra-thin aluminum frame, also known as a low-profile or slim frame, is designed to prevent vignetting (darkening at the corners) when used with wide-angle lenses.
• Black Almite Frame: The frame has a black matte aluminum satin finish (almite) to further reduce internal reflections and prevent light from reflecting off the filter and into the lens.
• Knurled Edge: A straight knurled edge on the frame provides a non-slip grip, making it easy to attach and remove the filter.
• Protective Case: The filter comes in a UV-protected case to prolong its life.

Practical applications

• Permanent Lens Protection: It serves as an excellent all-around protector for your lens against dust, scratches, moisture, and accidental bumps.
• Versatile Use: The filter is effective for both color and black-and-white photography and is recommended for outdoor shooting in bright conditions, like at the beach or in the mountains.
