KANI 100mm Vivid CPL (Color Combo)
The KANI 100mm Vivid CPL (Color Combo) is a specially designed square circular polarizing filter created for photographers who want stronger blue tones, richer contrast, and a more impressive finish straight out of camera. Unlike a standard CPL filter, this vivid type is developed to emphasize blue elements more effectively, making it especially attractive for landscape photographers who often work with skies, water, distant mountains, and other nature scenes that benefit from stronger color separation.
By suppressing yellow wavelengths in the 560nm–600nm range, the filter helps blue skies appear cleaner and deeper while keeping the overall image balanced and natural. This makes it ideal for scenes where the atmosphere and color of the sky play an important role in the composition. It is particularly effective for seascapes, lakes, coastlines, mountain scenery, and wide-open landscapes where subtle differences in color can dramatically change the impression of the final image.
In addition to color enhancement, this filter also provides the essential benefits expected from a high-quality circular polarizer. It can reduce reflections from water surfaces, wet rocks, leaves, windows, and other reflective subjects, helping photographers reveal more detail and create cleaner, more controlled images. The result is not only stronger color but also improved clarity and better overall contrast throughout the scene.
KANI’s Premium coating technology further improves performance by applying world-class ultra-low reflection coating to reduce ghosting and flare in bright shooting conditions. This is especially important when shooting against strong sunlight, near the horizon, or in scenes with reflective elements where unwanted flare can lower image quality. The coating also provides practical protection in the field, making the filter surface more resistant to water, oil, and dust.
The filter is built with high-quality optical glass and processed with double-sided ultra-precision polishing to maintain excellent flatness and reliable optical performance. For photographers who demand not only vivid color enhancement but also dependable quality and smooth usability within a 100mm holder system, this filter offers an excellent combination of visual impact and professional-grade construction.

KANI 100mm CPL 0#
The KANI 100mm CPL 0# is a premium circular polarizing filter designed for use with KANI 100mm filter holder systems. This model is intended for photographers who prefer a more neutral and natural color reproduction while still benefiting from the reflection control and contrast enhancement that a CPL filter provides. It is a practical choice for landscape, travel, waterscape, and general outdoor photography where controlling reflections and preserving accurate color are both important.
Installed within a 100mm-width holder setup, the filter allows the polarizing effect to be adjusted by rotating the filter holder itself. By changing the angle of the holder, photographers can fine-tune the amount of reflection reduction depending on the lighting conditions and the subject. This gives flexible control over skies, water surfaces, glass reflections, wet stones, foliage, and other reflective or contrast-sensitive elements in the frame.
This version adopts a newly developed polarizing film to achieve even more neutral color reproduction compared with previous models. Rather than strongly emphasizing one specific color, it aims to produce a cleaner and more balanced image while preserving the natural mood of the scene. For photographers who prefer subtle control and realistic rendering, this makes the filter especially appealing.
The filter is made with high-precision optical glass and double-sided ultra-precision polishing to maintain excellent flatness and stable image quality. This helps support sharp, consistent results across the frame. KANI’s Premium coating specification also features ultra-low reflection performance of less than 0.3%, helping to suppress flare and ghosting while improving usability in bright outdoor conditions.
In addition, the filter surface is treated with water-repellent and oil-resistant coating, making it easier to clean in the field. This is useful for photographers working near water, in misty conditions, or in situations where quick handling is required. Since the polarization effect is controlled by rotating the holder, users who frequently combine CPL with graduated ND filters may also wish to consider a switch holder system for even more flexible operation.
Key Features
- Premium circular polarizing filter for KANI 100mm holder systems
- Natural and neutral color reproduction with new polarizing film
- Polarizing effect adjusted by rotating the filter holder
- Reduces reflections on water, glass, leaves, and other surfaces
- Improves contrast and clarity while maintaining natural tones

Frame Vivid CPL (Color Combo)
The Frame Vivid CPL (Color Combo) brings the vivid blue-enhancing performance of KANI’s Vivid CPL into a convenient framed design for faster and easier handling in the field. It is created for photographers who want not only stronger skies and richer color contrast, but also smoother filter operation during actual shooting. The framed structure improves usability and makes the filter especially practical for photographers who frequently change settings while working on location.
Like the standard Vivid CPL, this model is designed to emphasize blue tones more effectively by suppressing yellow wavelengths in the 560nm–600nm range. This makes blue skies, water, and distant atmospheric scenes appear cleaner and more impressive, while also improving color separation within the image. It is particularly well suited to seascapes, coastal scenes, mountain landscapes, lakes, and dramatic outdoor environments where sky tone is a key element of the composition.
The framed design gives photographers a more efficient workflow compared with a standard square filter setup. It allows easier installation and handling within compatible holder systems, making it an excellent choice for travel photographers and outdoor shooters who need a fast and reliable setup. When changing weather, light direction, or shooting position, the more convenient handling can make a noticeable difference during actual use.
KANI’s Premium coating technology also plays an important role in the overall performance of this filter. The low-reflection coating helps reduce flare and ghosting under strong light, while the waterproof, oil-resistant, and dust-resistant surface makes the filter easier to clean during demanding outdoor sessions. This combination of vivid color enhancement, practical frame structure, and durable coating makes the Frame Vivid CPL a highly versatile tool for active field photography.

Frame CPL 0#
The KANI HT100 Premium Frame CPL 0# is a circular polarizing filter designed exclusively for the HT100 holder system. Unlike a standard square CPL, this model is installed together with its metal frame directly into the holder slot in a similar manner to a square filter. The polarizing effect can then be adjusted using the rotating knob on the frame, allowing photographers to fine-tune reflections and contrast quickly without removing the filter from the holder.
This design is especially useful for photographers who want a faster and more efficient workflow when combining CPL with graduated ND filters. Because the filter is already built into a dedicated frame, it is easier to handle in the field and more convenient for photographers who need to react quickly to changing light. It is particularly well suited to landscape photography, travel shooting, sunrise and sunset work, and other situations where speed and flexibility matter.
The filter adopts a newly developed polarizing film to achieve more neutral color reproduction than previous models. This means reflections can be controlled effectively without introducing excessive color shift, helping the image remain natural and well balanced. It is ideal for photographers who want to reduce glare from water, glass, leaves, and wet surfaces while preserving a clean and realistic rendering of the scene.
High-quality glass and premium coating technology further support stable optical performance. The filter is designed to provide reliable clarity, reduced internal reflections, and practical field durability. This makes it a dependable option for photographers who use their holder system regularly and need a CPL that can integrate smoothly into a more advanced square filter setup.
Because this is a framed design, vignetting can occur more easily depending on the lens and holder combination. For best results, it is recommended to install the filter in the front-most slot on the camera or lens side of the filter holder. When the holder is directly attached to the lens via optional HT100-82, HT100-77, HT100-72, or HT100-67 adapter rings, it can generally be used without noticeable vignetting down to approximately 16mm–18mm in 35mm equivalent terms.
For photographers who want fast operation, precise polarization control, and compatibility with an HT100 workflow, the Frame CPL 0# offers a very practical and professional solution. It is especially recommended for users who want to build a more flexible system while maintaining quick filter changes and reliable performance in the field.
