Circular Polarizer Filter Kenko Celeste C-PL 62mm for lenses, 62 mm thread

Kenko Celeste C-PL 62mm is a circular polarizer filter designed for photographic lenses with a 62 mm filter thread. The filter reduces surface reflections from non-metallic surfaces, increases color saturation and contrast, and helps produce clearer skies and richer foliage tones. It mounts on the front of the lens and rotates so you can adjust the degree of polarization to match the shooting angle and lighting conditions.

Advantages

The Kenko Celeste C-PL 62mm improves image quality by selectively removing unwanted reflections and enhancing color rendition without altering exposure. Its circular polarizer design maintains autofocus and metering on modern camera systems. The slim-frame construction minimizes vignetting on wide-angle lenses while providing an additional layer of front-element protection. The rotatable mount enables fine control of polarization strength to achieve desired sky contrast and reduced glare on water and glass.

Подходит для

• Пейзажной фотографии для усиления контраста неба и насыщенности зелени
• Уличной и дорожной съёмки для уменьшения бликов от дорог и витрин
• Съёмки по воде или при отражающих поверхностях, где важно убрать блики
• Защитной установки на переднюю линзу для предотвращения царапин и загрязнений

Key specifications

• Filter type: circular polarizer (C-PL)
• Mount thread diameter: 62 mm
• Construction: rotatable polarizing element in slim metal frame
• Effect: reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces, increases color saturation and contrast
• Compatibility: fits lenses with a 62 mm front filter thread

How to use

Screw the Kenko Celeste C-PL 62mm onto the lens front with the camera turned off or lens cap removed, ensuring it is threaded evenly to avoid cross-threading. Compose the scene and rotate the outer ring of the filter while observing the viewfinder or LCD until reflections are reduced and desired contrast or color saturation is achieved. For maximum sky darkening, shoot with the sun at roughly a 90-degree angle to the lens. Re-check exposure and autofocus after attaching the filter and adjust camera settings if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use the filter when shooting landscapes, water scenes, or any situation with reflective surfaces to control glare and enhance color. Remove or shield the filter when using very wide-angle lenses if vignetting appears, and store the filter in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and dust.
