Kenko 55mm Pro Softon Filter

A smooth glass surface creates a softening effect. The Kenko 55mm Pro Softon Filter can be used in various applications without limiting the focal distance or aperture. Types A and B are available. These filters are available in two different versions: type A, which offers a gentler (weak) effect, and type B, which delivers a more dramatic (strong) effect.

This medium-class filter series was developed in the mid-2000s when digital single-lens reflex cameras were popular. Adopting digital multi-coat technology, these filters achieve an overall filter transparency of 99% (protector) with a minimum price premium. The new-concept filter series employs a black-painted frame for reduced reflection in the glass, a knurled frame for easy attachment, and other user-friendly features. These filters function well not only with digital cameras but also with film cameras.

Digital Multi-Coated

Digital multi-coated filters greatly reduce the appearance of lens flare and ghosting caused by reflections.

Black Almite Frame

Filters feature a black matte aluminum satin finish almite frame which reduces reflections.

Black Rimmed Glass

These filters are equipped with black rimmed glass to reduce the chance of light reflecting off the edge.

Low Profile Frame

Ultra thin filter frames to help avoid vignetting on super wide angle lenses are also designed to hold a lens cap.

Knurling Edge Frame

These filters are equipped with a straight knurling edge for non-slip, easy attachment and removal.

UV Protected Case

Filter cases are UV protected to further lengthen the life of filters.
