MERKURY Filter Kit 52MM BLACK BOX (FK-52B)1415

Filters are translucent glass placed in front of a camera lens to alter or adjust the light entering the camera and to protect the camera lens. Lens filters improve pictures by giving photographers control over light and allowing them to emphasize the features of a scene that they consider most important. This particular filter set is a combination of the three essential filters no photographer should be without. diams UV FILTER: A UV (ultraviolet) filter blocks the invisible UV component of light from the sky, which can cause blur and to which many color films react with a blue cast. Pictures gain brilliance and such blue casts are avoided. Because the glass is colorless, color rendition is not altered, and no increase in exposure is required. The colorless glass also makes a UV Filter very suitable as protection for the front element of your lens against dust, flying sand, sea water spray and the like, and it can be kept on the lens at all times. diams PL FILTER: A PL (polarizing) filter allows you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, and they also improve color saturation, clarity and contrast. This filter is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds, for example. Polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot, and they will provide protection for your lens while shooting. diams F-DL FILTER: A F-DL (fluorescent light correction) filter provides the perfect solution for obtaining pleasing skin tones and correct color while shooting without a flash under fluorescent lighting. This filter gives true-to-life color rendition by removing the harsh yellow-green cast ordinarily resulting from fluorescent bulbs. When shooting under natural light, a fluorescent filter dramatically increases color saturation of subjects such as sunrises and sunsets.
