Kenko Cross Filter PRO1D Lotus R-Sunny 72mm Cross Effect for Night Scenes and Illumination Photography Water-Repellent Oil-Repellent Thin Frame 327234

[Product Description]

Create dazzling, sparkling effects with light, producing a luxurious display reminiscent of the sun or gemstones.

Perfect for night scenes such as Christmas illuminations and cityscapes, as well as fireworks, starry skies, reflections on water from the sun, dappled sunlight through trees, and sparkling jewelry or accessories. Kenko's standard cross filter has finally been upgraded to the premium line "PRO1D Lotus". The precise ultra-fine groove processing on the filter glass surface creates a cross effect with eight dazzling lines, accentuating point light sources and adding beautiful detail to photos and videos.

【Product Features】 This is the PRO1D Lotus R-Cross series, a cross filter with fine grooves on the glass surface that produce a cross effect with point light sources.

The "PRO1D Lotus R-Sunny Cross" features an impressive eight-line design that resembles the dazzling light of the sun or the sparkle of large gemstones. It dramatically transforms a single photo into a luxurious and impactful piece.

■ Evolved High-Durability Water- and Oil-Repellent Coating The largest feature of the PRO1D Lotus series is the newly adopted high-durability coating that strongly repels water and oil. Even if fingerprints, water droplets, or dirt adhere, they can be easily wiped away. This allows stress-free shooting even in rainy or water-side environments and makes lens maintenance much easier.

■ Adjustable Cross Angle with Rotating Front Frame The front frame (rotating ring) allows you to freely change the angle of the cross by simply turning the filter. You can check the balance of the light lines through the viewfinder or LCD of your DSLR or mirrorless camera and adjust to your preferred angle. It is highly effective for both still photography and video effects.

■ High-Quality, Thin Frame Design to Minimize Reflections Achieving surface reflectance of 0.3-0.5% with the "Digital Multi-Coat II" and applying "Ink Coating" around the glass edge, this filter prevents internal reflections, flare, and ghosting common in night photography. Additionally, the "thin frame" design reduces vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses. Made in Japan with confidence. *Note: Depending on the lens, light streaks may become distorted or appear as broken lines.

【Usage Tips】 For scenes where you want to emphasize the main light sources and make the image sparkle, the "R-Sunny Cross" is ideal. Conversely, in urban scenes with many light sources that can cause the entire image to be filled with long light streaks, the "Kenko PRO7D R-Twinkle Star" series, which produces shorter, more subdued light streaks, is recommended. Choose according to the scene and subject.

■ "Amazon.co.jp Limited Package" features a special packaging design exclusive to Amazon. 【Enhance Light Beauty】 Creates an overwhelming, luxurious cross effect with eight lines, making night scenes and Christmas illuminations spectacular. 【Luxurious Eight Lines like Sun or Gemstones】 Produces a prominent, glamorous eight-line cross, accentuating key light sources in DSLR and mirrorless photography. 【Adjustable Angle with Rotating Frame】 Easily change the cross angle by turning the front ring, allowing optimal light balance for composition. 【Evolved Tough Lotus Specification】 Features top-level water- and oil-repellent coating, making outdoor shooting and daily lens maintenance much easier. 【Scene-Appropriate Use】 For dramatically enhancing a single photo, "R-Sunny Cross" is best. For scenes with many light sources like cityscapes, the shorter light streaks of "R-Twinkle Star" are recommended.
