[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.
