KENKO REAL PRO ND1000 49mm Filter

KENKO REAL PRO ND1000

The KENKO REAL PRO ND1000 is a neutral density filter designed to reduce the amount of light entering the camera lens by 10 stops. This allows photographers to select wider apertures, ideal for portraiture to achieve a shallow depth of field where the subject remains sharp and the background is softly blurred. It is also widely used in nature photography, such as capturing waterfalls, to emphasize motion effects.

Usage

Neutral density (ND) filters like the REAL PRO ND1000 reduce light uniformly across the visible spectrum, preventing color shifts in images. They are commonly used alongside circular polarizing (C-PL) and UV filters. Unlike UV filters that primarily protect the lens, ND filters control exposure by limiting light intake, enabling creative effects such as motion blur and shallow depth of field.
