Filter set Kenko 49mm — Kenko model 234996, 49 mm photographic lens filters

Kenko filter set 49mm is a compact collection of screw-in photographic lens filters designed for lenses with a 49 mm filter thread. The set provides options to modify or control light entering the lens, add protection to the front element and support common creative or corrective workflows in portrait, landscape and everyday photography. Filters in the set are metal-rimmed screw-type units sized to match standard 49 mm lenses and are suitable for interchangeable-lens cameras and compact systems that accept 49 mm filter threads.

Advantages

The filter set offers quick attachment and removal via a 49 mm screw mount, providing reliable mechanical connection and low profile that minimizes vignetting on wide-angle optics. Constructed with durable frames and optical glass, the filters protect the front element from dust, moisture and incidental contact while maintaining image clarity. Using dedicated filters allows photographers to control reflections, color balance and exposure without software correction, preserving image quality at the point of capture.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography requiring subtle color correction and front element protection
• Landscape photography where control of reflections and contrast is needed
• Everyday and travel photography on lenses with 49 mm filter threads
• Situations requiring quick on-lens protection and optical adjustments

Key specifications

• Filter thread size: 49 mm
• Mount type: screw-in (male/female 49 mm)
• Frame material: metal rim (durable, low-profile design)
• Optical element: coated glass suitable for photographic use
• Compatibility: lenses with 49 mm filter threads (interchangeable and compact lenses)

How to use

Align the filter threads with the front of a compatible 49 mm lens and rotate gently until the filter seats fully without cross-threading. For protection or neutral filtering, attach the filter before shooting; for creative effects or exposure control, select the appropriate filter from the set and mount it as required. When stacking filters, tighten only lightly to avoid difficulty in removal. After use, clean the optical surface with a blower, soft brush or microfibre cloth and store filters in their protective case to avoid scratches.

Usage recommendations

To maintain optical performance, avoid overtightening the filter and keep threads free of grit. Use the filter set with lenses that specifically accept 49 mm threads and choose the filter type within the set according to the scene—protective/clear filters for everyday use, and specialty filters for color balance or reflection control. Regularly inspect and clean the filters to ensure consistent image quality.
