Camera protection filter Kenko KEDSMPR52 — 52 mm, black, 1 pc

Kenko KEDSMPR52 is a 52 mm camera protection filter designed to protect the front element of compatible lenses. The slim black frame accepts standard 52 mm lens threads and stays mounted during shooting to guard against dust, fingerprints, light scratches and minor impacts without affecting lens handling. Supplied as a single piece, this protection filter is intended for photographers who want a simple, low-profile barrier between the environment and their optics.

Advantages

The slim-designed metal frame minimizes vignetting on wide-angle lenses while providing a secure threaded fit. The single-layer optical glass delivers clear transmission and retains the original rendering of the lens. The black finish reduces reflections from the filter edge and matches common lens barrels. The product is lightweight and easy to attach or remove, offering continuous front-element protection with minimal influence on image quality.

Suitable for

• Everyday outdoor and indoor photography where lens front protection is required
• Travel and field work where dust and minor abrasion risks are present
• Photographers who prefer to keep a protective filter on the lens during shooting
• Use with prime and zoom lenses that accept 52 mm front threads

Key specifications

• Filter type: protection (UV/clear style)
• Filter diameter: 52 mm
• Frame: slim black metal frame designed to reduce vignetting
• Glass: optical protection glass with clear transmission
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Align the filter threads with the lens front threads and rotate clockwise until the filter is gently but securely seated. Avoid overtightening to prevent the filter from sticking to the lens. When shooting, keep the filter mounted to maintain protection; remove the filter only for cleaning or when using specialized filters that require stacking. Clean the glass surface with a microfiber cloth and appropriate lens cleaning solution to remove fingerprints and dust before use.

Usage recommendations

Use the Kenko 52 mm protection filter as a first line of defense for the lens front element. For prolonged outdoor use in harsh conditions, combine with regular cleaning and a lens hood. When working with ultra-wide lenses, verify that the slim frame does not introduce vignetting at the chosen focal length.
