The ultimate PL filter with the best color balance and ultra-high resolution.
The Kenko ZX C-PL N is a premium Circular Polarizing Filter (C-PL) designed to deliver excellent light transmission, exceptionally neutral color reproduction and ultra-high resolution.
Thanks to its high-transmission polarizing film, the ZX C-PL N maintains a bright image while effectively controlling reflections and enhancing color contrast and saturation.
• High Light Transmission
The ZX C-PL N is approximately one stop brighter than a conventional circular polarizing filter. Even when polarization is maximized, light loss is limited to approximately 2/3 to 1 stop, helping maintain a brighter viewfinder and making handheld shooting easier.
• Exceptionally Neutral Colors
High-transmission polarizing films can sometimes introduce a yellowish color cast. The ZX C-PL N is designed to provide particularly neutral color reproduction, without noticeable color shifts.
• Effective Polarization and Reflection Control
The filter reduces unwanted reflections on non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, while enhancing color saturation and contrast.
• Ultra-High Resolution with Floating Frame Technology
The Floating Frame Technology uses a specially developed elastic buffer layer between the glass and the filter frame. It securely holds the glass while reducing pressure on it, helping maintain its flatness and optical performance.
• Ultra-Low Reflectance
The glass surface achieves an extremely low average reflectance of 0.16–0.20% across the 400–700 nm wavelength range. This helps minimize flare and ghosting while maintaining clear, detailed images.
• Anti-Static Coating
The anti-static coating helps prevent dust from adhering to the filter surface, making cleaning easier.
• Water- and Oil-Repellent Coating
The coating strongly repels water droplets and dirt, making marks easier to remove. This is particularly useful for outdoor photography, around water or in rainy conditions.
• Slim Frame
The low-profile frame helps minimize the risk of vignetting, particularly when using wide-angle lenses.
• Blackened Glass Edges
The edges of the glass are treated with a black finish to minimize internal reflections.
• Smooth Operation
The filter thread is lubricated to provide smoother attachment and removal of the filter.
• Comfortable Grip
The knurled frame makes the filter easy to handle and rotate precisely.
• Compatible with Lens Caps
The filter's design allows a lens cap to be attached.
A high-performance polarizing filter needs to combine several important qualities: brightness, accurate color reproduction and effective polarization.
The Kenko ZX C-PL N has been developed to achieve an exceptional balance between these three characteristics. It is designed for photographers who demand high image quality while maintaining natural and accurate color reproduction.
