Kenko 49mm RealPro MC ND16 Filter

Neutral Density filters are the most commonly used along with C-PL and UV filters. These filters, instead of the ones that protect the lens from damage or UV pollution, were created to decrease the volume of the light entering the lens. True ND filters decrease light equally to achieve the same density through the all visual spectrum giving no changes in colour balance of the image. That is why the called Neutral Density.

Why ND filter is important

We have already entered the era of super high sensitivity, super high resolution photographic equipment. Obviously, the power of this huge sensor can easily be affected by lenses and other optical accessories that are located right on the path of the light entering the camera. In other words, the filter quality serves as the front "gate" for the light to enter and is of the utmost importance.

In particular, ND filters have become a must for high sensitivity cameras with ISO settings that starts from 200 or 100. This is the reason that ND filters currently garner a high level of attention and have strict quality requirements. Professional photographers requires ND filters that decrease light volume in the most natural and harmless way.

When to use ND 4/8/16 filters

Kenko REALPRO ND 4/8/16 present the highest quality of Neutral Density filters designed to use with latest DSLR high-sensitive cameras that will allow photographer to realise photos with shallow field of view achieved by aperture wide open during the shiny day or in over lighted conditions. Kenko REALPRO ND 4/8/16 filters is recommended to use in portrait, video and nature genres during shiny day where widely opened diaphragm to prevent overexposure and achieve shallow depth of field is required to separate foreground object from background.

ND Vacuum Deposition Technology

To achieve the best neutrality in the world Kenko REALPRO ND 4/8/16 filters adopts ND Vacuum Deposition Technology. According to this technology, neutral density is realised by ND substance that coated in the steam oven equally spreading over the filter glass surface.

IR Pollution

ND Vacuum Deposition Technology also offers the solution to the problem of IR pollution that is also can be a reason for concern among photographers. During the sunny day with a lot of IR light in the atmosphere long shutter speed shooting may bring colour changes of black, green or dark objects what can be seen with brown or reddish tint. Thanks to exhaustive efforts of Kenko engineers ND Vacuum Deposition Technology underwent incredible progress in neutrality, desirable light transmittance and IR controlling performance.

Anti-Reflection Multi Coating

Usually sensors of digital cameras are more sensitive than film. That's why highlights can affect the image, creating unwanted effects due to light refraction in the lens. Filters, as they are also optical elements, can make the situation even worth. That is why filters need anti-reflective coating. Kenko REALPRO ND 4/6/16 filters adopts anti-reflective multi coating to eliminate even small chance of unwanted flares and ghosts in the image.

Slim Frame

Frame Use with any lens and with no loss of light. Kenko REALPRO ND 4/8/16 adopts ultra thin frame to avoid vignetting effect on wide and super wide angle lenses.

Knurling Edge Frame

The frame is equipped with knurling surface to prevent slipping, making attachment and removal easy and stress-free.

Black Almite Frame

To reduce to minimum any unwanted reflections Kenko REALPRO ND 4/8/16 adopts black aluminium satin finish almite frame. Satin finish will increase friction between fingers and frame for quick operation and satin black frame will minimise internal reflections.

Black Rimmed Glass

To reduce the internal light reflections off the edge of the filter glass Kenko uses the technology of black rimming. The outer rim of the filter glass plate is treated with a specific black ink prevent any leaking of the light.

UV Protected Case

Kenko REALPRO ND 4/8/16 filter comes with durable plastic case with UV-Cut function.
