Description

"Another Eye" to protect your lens.
In order to respond to the 4K and 8K, Kenko has been rethought of filters from the ground up to 60 years ago.
Conventional filter frame puts stress on the glass itself due to the pressure of the ring that secures the glass and causing distortion to the glass and a little bit of flatness.
Thats why Kenko has developed a new floating frame system. By securing the glass with a special male bumper instead of a fixing ring, the load and pressure on the glass is as close as zero as possible and brings out the true portability of the lens.
Reduces the burden on the glass and makes the image quality close to Zero. Then aim for the image of truth, "Magnification = X". With the desire of pursuing two, we named the "ZX... Zekross" filters using this floating frame system.
The unusually depicting you even know you are wearing a filter gives you the freedom to follow your subjects more active and more confident than ever before.
This is a new generation of ZX "Zekross" filter that allows light to enter in.

The ZX SLIM is a slim type developed to fit small aperture lenses such as mirrorless cameras. A part of the high-strength duralumin is used to reduce the thickness of the filter frame but increase strength. Resists distortion under impact and protects glass from external pressure and maintains glass flatness

The ZX Filter Origin

KENKO optical technology uses "Floating Frame System".Reduces the load on the filter glass and keeps the image quality close to [Z]ero.Then aim for the image of truth, "Magnification = X".ZX was born, in order to pursue Z.

The front of the frame is made of high strength duralumin to create the best ZX SLIM.

Protector filter for small diameter size

Slim type developed to fit small calibers.The front of the frame is made of high strength duralumin for added strength.It does not warp even when impact is applied, protecting the glass from pressure caused by external factors and maintains its flat surface.

  • Adopts a newly developed floating frame system to ensure a high level of flatness and achieve ultra-high resolution.
  • Supports 4K and 8K ultra resolution cameras
  • ZR coat for ultra low reflection of 0.3% or less of surface reflection.
  • Water-repellent and oleophobic coating that strongly repels water and dirt.
  • Black coating on the outer circumference of the glass prevents reflections.
  • Lubricates for smooth on/off
  • Made in Japan.

Uses the newly developed floating frame system.

Kenko thought that not only protects the lens but also allows it to perform its resolution, it was a mission that was imposed to the filter.

By using a special elastic foam rather than a fixed ring that affects the flatness of the glass, we have successfully created a "flat" filter that is difficult to warp in the glass.

Compare the surface accuracy with the chart by Newton Ring

Previously the frame is a stress on the glass caused by rings that hold the glass in place, and it was a part of damaging the glass flatness like the right.

As you can see the comparison of the resolution power, the difference in flatness is displayed as a chart.

It is especially easy to see the difference in large aperture telephoto lenses.

High resolution to enhance your HD video

When 4K and 8K compatible cameras become mainstream.It also acts as a filter to produce results in the realism and beauty of the video.You can control your camera as you want, and give you the freedom to actively follow your subject.
