Kenko Smart Filter Kit consists of 3 filters: Protector, Circular PL and ND8 that belong to Kenko Smart filter series.

MC Protector

The MC protector is multi-coated on both side of the glass to reduce the chance of reflections or flare that could ruin a good shot. A low profile frame helps to avoid vignetting on a wide angle lens. This is a good multi-purpose filter that can be left on the lens at all time for protection. This filter has a high-quality durable aluminum frame that can stand up for years of use.

Circular PL

Circular PL filters allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colors to become more saturated and appear clearer with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. Kenko's Circular PL filter do not affect the overall color balance of a shot

ND8

General Care and Handling of the Photographic Filter

1. Use filter carefully and always keep it clean. When cleaning use cleaning tissue or cleaning cloth. But before that remove as much dust and dirt as possible from the lens with a blower or brush.
2. Avoid unnecessary cleaning of your filter.
3. Filter is made of glass. When it is broken glass fragments may injure.
4. Do not disassemble filter by yourself.
5. When the filter is not attached to the lens, store it away from sharp objects. They may damage the filter glass.
6. Keep filter away from children.
7. Keep filters in plastic hard-sided case or filter pouch.
