Kenko PRO1D PROSOFTON Clear Filter Review (Spanish)
En astrofotografía de paisaje es común usar filtros especiales para crear un halo o resplandor alrededor de las estrellas. Estos filtros suavizan la luz de los puntos brillantes, aportando un efecto más artístico de las estrellas y de la imagen en general, sin perder la nitidez del resto de la escena. Así, las fotos adquieren una sensación mágica y etérea que realza la belleza del cielo nocturno.

Unlike traditional front-mounted filters, this filter attaches to the rear mount of the lens. In this review, I'll share my thoughts and experiences while testing the Kenko REAR PROSOFTON filter set.
