Produce your own unique images that differ from others
REALPRO MKII Circular PL filter is used to reduce unwanted reflections from a non-metallic surface such as water of glass and increase saturation and contrast of the sky and objects. For example you can enhance the saturation of the sky in order to stress the presence of white clouds even if the atmosphere is hazy.

The filter that stays clear for a long time
The one important feature of REALPRO MKII series is Anti-Stain Coating (ASC) that represents a new generation of Kenko coating technology. Thanks to a new formula of coating material the surface of the REALPRO MKII C-PL filter will make moisture and water drops to bead up and slip down leaving filter clean. Thus you will not need to clean filter for a long time and maintenance will become incredibly easier and safer. Due to smooth filter surface dust and smudges can be wiped more easier because they do not stick on to the glass so strongly. Time you spend for after-care routine will be considerably shortened and cleaning process will not bother you anymore. This feature is highly valued by extremely photographers who are shooting outdoors in various weather conditions.

Slim Frame
Can be used with wide angle lens. The REALPRO MKII C-PL adopts ultra thin frame to avoid vignetting effect on wide and super wide angle lenses.

Knurling Edge Frame
The frame of REALPRO MKII C-PL 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 the REALPRO MKII C-PL adopts black aluminum satin finish almite frame. Satin finish will increase friction between fingers and frame for quick operation and satin black frame will minimize 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 glass plate is treated with a specific black ink prevent any leak of the light.

UV Protected Case
Every REALPRO MKII filter comes with durable re-usable plastic case with UV-cut function. Since the polarization film is sensitive to UV light REALPRO MKII case will lengthen life of the filter.

General care and handling of the photographic filter
1) Use filter carefully and always keep it clean. When cleaning use cleaning tissue or cleaning cloth. But before that remove as much dust and dirt as possible from the lens with a blower or brush.
2) Avoid unnecessary cleaning of your filter.
3) Filter is made of glass. When it is broken glass fragments may injure.
4) Do not disassemble filter by yourself.
5) When the filter is not attached to the lens store it away from sharp objects. They may damage the filter glass.
6) Keep filter away from children.
7) Keep filters in plastic hard-sided case or filter pouch.
8) Keep filters dry and away from direct sun light.
9) Avoid storage in high humidity environment. Moisture drops due to the high humidity or dew on the filter can burn the coating and create traces on the glass surface that can be hardly wiped off.
