Like a scene from a cartoon...

Kenko NOSTALTONE series are a filter that was created with the goal of creating a landscape that is ""like a scene from an anime"", a familiar scene that will move your heart with its warmth.
It adds a warm and nostalgic atmosphere, which is enhanced with dramatic flares and ghosting to express the world in a nostalgic way. Two types, NOSTALTONE ORANGE and NOSTALTONE BLUE, with different nuances of colour, contrast, and light diffusion effects, are available.


■Dramatic flares and ghosts
NOSTALTONE filters create rings of light and ghosts when the sun's rays are low in the picture angle in the morning or evening, creating a dramatic effect like a scene in an animated film.

■Comparison ORANGE and BLUE
Comparing ORANGE and blue, ORANGE has strong colouring, but the softening effect is only slightly weaker. BLUE has a subdued color but a comparatively strong soft effect.


Please note that:
・In order to produce the filter effect, a coating is applied to the glass to make it more reflective. The appearance of colorful rings of light and ghosting is an intended effect of this filter.
・To produce a ring of light, place the sun in the center of the image. The ring is smaller at wide-angle and larger at telephoto.

  • ■Diffusion effect to feel like being surrounded by gentle light

    NOSTALTONE BLUE also has the effect of diffusing light. It diffuses the low morning and evening sunlight, creating a nostalgic atmosphere as if surrounded by gentle light. Since the diffusion effect is strong with direct backlighting, to achieve a good diffusion effect it is best to use diagonal backlighting or sidelighting, or to hide the entire sun or a part of it behind buildings, trees, people, etc. When shooting after sunset, the filter creates an impressive scene through softly diffusing light sources like streetlights, traffic lights, cars, etc.
