Coming from the Latin word "caelestis" that means magnificent, something above human possibilities and the Italian "celeste" which represents the color of the clear sky, the Celeste filter series promises the best optical performance and superior advantages to the photographer.
Celeste C-PL effectively manages reflections from non-metallic objects, suppresses glare from water surfaces, increases contrast and saturation of the outdoor scenes with deeper color tones.

Celeste C-PL adopts 18-layer anti-reflection Super ZR-coating - improved version of Kenko ZETA filter series coating that provides astonishing results in light reflection performance. Thanks to this coating technology light reflectivity level is retained at 0.3% that is incredibly low for C-PL filters.
Along with excellent light transmission abilities, Celeste C-PL performs impressive water and oil repellent features thanks to AntiStain Coating (ASC). Anti-Stain Coating is layered on both sides of the glass for easier and more effective filter maintenance. Less chance to catch dust on the filter and less chance to scratch filter while wiping the surface with cleaning paper.
ASC effectively repels water, oil and smudges keeping filter surface clear in different shooting conditions. There is no more need to clean or wipe dust frequently. This ensures long product life-time compared to other brand filters coating that comes off in a quicker time if wipe filter more often.
Celeste C-PL transmits 25% more light (equivalent to 1 full stop) than other top brand filters thanks to high-transparency polarizing film.
