Kenko CPL PRO1D Digital Circular Polarizer Filter 72mm

The Kenko CPL PRO1D Digital Circular Polarizer Filter is a high-quality optical filter designed for photographers seeking to enhance color saturation, contrast, and reduce reflections. With a 72mm diameter, this filter is ideal for a wide range of lenses, offering professional-grade performance for both still photography and videography.

Advantages

This circular polarizer effectively reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, deepens blue skies, and improves overall image clarity. The multi-coated (12 layers) optical glass ensures minimal flare and ghosting, while the slim aluminum frame prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses. Additionally, the filter features water, oil, and anti-static coatings for easy maintenance and durability.
