Kenko Realpro 72mm MC ND1000 Filter

Kenko Realpro 72mm MC ND1000 Filter decreases the amount of light entering the camera lens. This allows you to shoot with a wide open diaphragm even on a bright day, to add motion blur to subjects, and to extend time exposures.
True ND filters decrease light equally to achieve the same density through all of the visual spectrum causing no changes in the colour balance of the image.
Why an 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 start 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 require ND filters that decrease light volume in the most natural and harmless way.

When to use ND 1000 filters:

• Kenko REALPRO ND1000 present the highest quality of Neutral Density filters designed to use with the latest DSLR high-sensitive cameras that will allow photographers to realise photos of moving objects with a large amount of blurred motion. This will create scenes that cannot be seen by human eyes. Kenko REALPRO ND1000 filters are recommended for use in landscapes, city snaps, video and nature genres to create an unreal, fantasy world.

ND Vacuum Deposition Technology:

• To achieve the best neutrality in the world, Kenko REALPRO ND filters adopt ND Vacuum Deposition Technology. According to this technology, neutral density is realised by the ND substance that is coated in the steam oven equally spreading over the filter glass surface.
• As a result, compared with other brand ND filters, Kenko REALPRO ND performs excellent neutrality throughout all of the visual light spectrum ensuring stable colour balance of the image.

IR Pollution:

• ND Vacuum Deposition Technology also offers the solution to the problem of IR pollution. During a 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 a 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. As filters are also optical elements, they need an anti-reflective coating. Kenko REALPRO ND filters adopt an anti-reflective multi coating to eliminate even a small chance of unwanted flares and ghosting in the image.

Black Almite Frame:

• To reduce any unwanted reflections, the REALPRO ND filters adopt a black aluminum satin finish almite frame. The satin finish will increase friction between your fingers and the frame for quick operation, and the satin black frame will minimise internal reflections.

UV Protected Case:

• Every REALPRO filter comes with durable re-usable plastic case with a UV-cut function. Since the polarisation film is sensitive to UV light, the REALPRO case will lengthen the life of the filter.
