Product Introduction The ZX (Z-Cross) series, released in 2016 by Kenko Tokina, a filter manufacturer with many years of experience in filter production, pioneered a new era in lens filters with its innovative "Floating Frame System" that minimizes stress on the glass, achieving extremely high planarity. The "Kenko ZX II Protector" is the ultimate lens protection filter, further evolving the "Floating Frame System" to achieve even higher ultra-high resolution. Not only the frame system but also the coating has been renewed. The newly developed "ZR01 (Zero One) Coat" achieves a surface reflection rate of 0.1%. It adds nothing to the image quality of the photo, and the depiction is as it is. In other words, a filter like air that takes in light as it is, that is the ZX II Protector. 【Product Features】 ■Evolved Ultra-High Resolution Floating Frame System The "Floating Frame," which brings the stress on the glass as close to zero as possible and brings out the original descriptive power of the lens, has been further evolved. The distortion of the glass is suppressed to the limit, and the high-precision polishing achieves planarity and ultra-high resolution that surpasses the conventional model. ■Achieves a surface reflection rate of 0.1% with the newly developed ultra-low reflection ZR01 coat & high-transmittance optical glass. The ZX II Protector's lens coating uses the newly developed "ZR01 Coat." It achieves ultra-low reflection with a surface reflection rate of 0.1%. It suppresses the disadvantages such as flare and ghosting caused by filter attachment, which are likely to occur in scenes such as night views, and maximizes performance while protecting the lens. ■Excellent maintainability! Super-strong water-repellent and oil-repellent coat The strong water-repellent and oil-repellent coat provides peace of mind even when shooting outdoors. Even if water or dirt adheres, you can quickly wipe it off and continue shooting. ■Dry Lube Treatment & Knurling to improve operability The "Dry Lube (lubrication) treatment" that reduces the biting of the filter to the lens when attaching the filter and the "knurling" that improves the grip of the fingers when attaching and detaching the filter make it easy to attach and detach. ■Made in Japan for peace of mind The ZX II Protector is manufactured in Japan for peace of mind.
