2026-06-30 - Kenko RealPro C-PL 62mm Filter

 

The Kenko RealPro C-PL 62mm Filter is a premium circular polarizing, multi-coated lens accessory designed to eliminate non-metallic reflections, deepen blue skies, and increase colour saturation. This specific 62mm version sold for approximately $119.00 CAD. It is highly regarded by outdoor photographers for its durability and ease of maintenance.

Key Features: 

  • Anti-Stain Coating (ASC): This proprietary coating repels moisture, dust, and grease. Smudges and fingerprints wipe away quickly without leaving streaks.
  • Anti-Reflection Multi-Coating: Kenko applies precision layers to maximize light transmission. This effectively eliminates flares and ghosting on digital sensors.
  • Black Rimmed Glass: The outer edges of the glass plate are treated with a specialized black ink. This process stops internal reflections and prevents stray light from leaking into your frame.
  • Ultra-Thin Profile: The slim aluminum frame ensures zero vignetting. You can seamlessly use it on wide-angle or super-wide lenses without losing light at the corners.
  • Knurled Edges: The exterior ring features deep ridges. This structural grip makes mounting and rotating the polarizing element effortless, even when wearing gloves.
  • Black Almite Finish: The frame features a black satin finish that reduces reflections back onto the filter glass.
  • UV-Protected Case: The filter ships with a reusable, hard-sided case that filters out harmful UV light. This prolongs the lifespan of the interior polarizing film.
