Anti-Stain Coating

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.
