High-performance lens protection filter that protects your lens without compromising optical performance.
Kenko PRO1D Protector (W) N
You want to protect your expensive lens from unexpected scratches, dust, and water droplets.
However, many people worry that adding a protection filter will degrade image quality.
To address these concerns, the classic lens protection filter, the PRO1D Protector (W), has been redesigned as part of the "N" series with an improved anti-reflective coating.
This high-performance shield provides constant protection for your precious lens without compromising its inherent imaging power.
■ Surface reflection of less than 0.3%. DMC1-II Coating maximizes lens performance
A filter's performance is determined by how well it transmits light and suppresses reflections.
This product features the newly developed "DMC1-II Coating," an improved version of the DMC Coating. This reduces surface reflection to an extremely low level of less than 0.3%, even lower than the previous 0.5% or less.
It minimizes flare and ghosting caused by attaching a filter, faithfully bringing out the inherent clarity and imaging performance of your lens.
■Anti-reflection coating makes a difference in backlit photography
While it may seem unimpressive, internal reflections have a significant impact on image quality.
By applying a black coating to the outer edge of the filter glass, it thoroughly prevents light from being scattered within the frame.
Even in severe backlit conditions, it reduces flare and ghosting and prevents a loss of contrast in your photos.
■Thin frame design compatible with ultra-wide-angle lenses
The thinner-than-normal filter frame prevents vignetting (darkening of the corners of the image) when used in combination with ultra-wide-angle lenses.
You can enjoy the performance of wide-angle lenses, which are often used for landscape photography, without compromising their performance.
■Reliable and easy to use: "Made in Japan"
Consideration has been given to ease of use, with features such as knurling for smooth filter attachment and a design that allows for the attachment of genuine lens caps.
Made in Japan, a trusted supplier of lenses worthy of your trust.

[Continuously Protect Your Valuable Lens] This high-performance lens protection filter is permanently attached to your lens to protect your expensive lenses from scratches, dust, and dirt.
[Low Surface Reflectance: Less than 0.3%] The DMC1-II Coating improves performance from the previous model's surface reflection of less than 0.5%. It achieves a surface reflection of less than 0.3%, minimizing flare and ghosting caused by the filter and maintaining clear images.
[Maximum Preventing Internal Reflections] The outer periphery of the filter glass is black-painted to minimize internal reflections, reducing flare and ghosting in backlit situations.
[Thin frame design compatible with ultra-wide-angle lenses] The filter frame is thinner than usual, so it is designed to reduce vignetting (the phenomenon where the corners of the image become dark) even when attached to an ultra-wide-angle lens.
[Reliable Japanese-made product and easy operation] It features a knurled (anti-slip) finish for easy attachment and removal, a design that allows for the attachment of a lens cap, and is made in Japan with reliable manufacturing methods.
