Description

Kenko PRO1D smart C-PL is a cost-effective and beginner friendly circular polarizing filter that blocks polarized light from different directions, thus reducing reflections from non-metallic surfaces and increasing color saturation. A smart choice for your must-have shooting equipment.

Anti-reflection: suppresses unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces, such as water, glass, etc., for haze-free images.
Increased saturation & contrast: for enhanced white clouds on blue skies.
Unchanged color balance: does not affect the overall color balance of the final image.
Low-profile frame: to avoid vignetting even with wide-angle lenses.
Cost-effective & beginner friendly.

Let's take a higher-quality photography with a C-PL filter!
Have you ever been disappointed at the pictures you took which were not as vivid and impressive as the beautiful scenery? The C-PL filter is recommended when shooting landscapes. The C-PL filter is a filter that has the effect of adjusting the reflected light by turning the front frame of the double frame to make the color vivid.

Kenko PRO1D+ INTANT ACTION system – filters made simple
As a landscape photographer, I sometimes find myself in need of different filters in order to achieve the shot that I am after. For example, I might need a clear filter such as UV filter for a bit of protection when I am shooting in dusty or wet environments to protect my lens. I might also need ND filters for shooting video or getting those long exposure shots during the daytime. Last but not least, I am a huge fan of C-PL filters, as they give me those punchy clouds against the blue sky, especially in the mountains. If I had to pick only one, it would definitely be a C-PL, since it's impossible to replicate its effect in post-processing.
