By introducing unique refraction and reflection patterns, the Kenko Rainbow Halo helps capture Japan’s atmosphere in a distinctly creative way, moving beyond standard documentation.

About the Product

The Kenko Rainbow Halo is a dedicated effect filter that uses internal prisms to generate colorful halos and soft ghosts, which are particularly visible when shooting scenes containing direct or bright point light sources. Its creative potential is highest when used in challenging lighting scenarios, such as dazzling night cityscapes in Tokyo or vibrant festival lights.

When renting, please check the filter diameter of your specific lens to ensure compatibility with this 82mm size. The effect can be subtle or dramatic; using shorter focal lengths tends to create wider swirling effects, while medium telephoto lenses (around 50 to 100 millimeters) are recommended for a more controlled effect.

Faqs:

How do I ensure the Kenko Rainbow Halo filter will fit my lens?

You must check the filter thread diameter of your lens, which is usually marked on the front of the lens barrel or the inside of the lens cap. This filter is 82 millimeters, so your lens must also have an 82 millimeter thread to attach directly.

Does this filter always produce rainbow colors in every photo?

No, the appearance of rainbow colors and the halo effect is entirely dependent on the presence and intensity of bright, direct light sources within your frame. The best results are usually seen when shooting illuminated scenes or spotlights.

Does the focal length of my lens affect the final result of the filter?

Yes, the focal length significantly affects the result. Shorter focal length lenses will create a wider, more pronounced swirling or kaleidoscope effect, while medium telephoto lenses (around 50 to 100 millimeters) will yield a more subtle and controllable effect.

Can I use this filter for video as well as still photography?

Absolutely. This filter is excellent for adding unique and stylized visual effects to videos, particularly in vlogging or short film production where you are looking to capture fantastical light refraction in urban or nocturnal settings in Japan.

If my lens has a different filter diameter, can I still use this 82mm filter?

If your lens has a smaller diameter, you may be able to attach this 82mm filter by using a step-up ring (not included). This accessory allows you to mount a larger filter onto a smaller lens thread, though it may introduce some vignetting depending on the lens.
