Full details
The Kase Revolution Plus 112mm Entry Kit is designed for photographers and filmmakers seeking efficient light management and reflection control. Its primary benefit is the rapid, professional-grade filtering through a precision magnetic system, allowing for quick adjustments in dynamic shooting environments. A potential caveat is the specific 112mm thread size, requiring compatible lens diameters. This kit includes essential ND8, ND64, and CPL filters, all featuring multi-coated optical glass for true-color, sharp results and a secure magnetic mount for fast filter changes.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the magnetic system?
The magnetic system allows for extremely rapid and secure attachment and detachment of filters, saving time in dynamic shooting situations.
What is the stopping power of the ND filters included?
The kit includes an ND8 filter, which provides 3 stops of light reduction, and an ND64 filter, which provides 6 stops of light reduction.
Can I stack the filters in this kit?
Yes, the magnetic system allows for easy stacking of the included ND and CPL filters, provided the lens can accommodate the combined thickness.
What type of glass is used in these filters?
The filters utilize high-quality, multi-coated optical glass for excellent sharpness and true-to-life color reproduction.
What lenses is this kit compatible with?
This specific kit is designed for lenses with a 112mm front filter thread diameter. Adapters may be required for lenses with different sizes.
How do I clean the filters?
Gently clean the optical glass with a soft lens brush or a lint-free microfiber cloth. For tougher spots, use a lens cleaning solution on the cloth.
What is the benefit of the CPL filter?
The Circular Polarizer (CPL) filter reduces glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, and enhances color saturation.
Troubleshooting
Filter not attaching securely
Ensure the magnetic surfaces on both the filter and the lens are clean and free from dust or debris. Verify that the lens has a 112mm filter thread and that the filter is fully seated.
Image has color cast or reduced sharpness
Confirm the optical glass is clean. Ensure the filter is properly seated and not at an angle. If using multiple filters, check for alignment issues.
CPL filter not reducing reflections effectively
Ensure the CPL filter is rotating correctly to find the optimal polarization angle. Remember, CPL filters are most effective on non-metallic surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves ensuring the filter's magnetic mount correctly aligns and securely attaches to any compatible 112mm lens filter thread. The kit is designed for direct attachment to lenses with a 112mm front diameter.
Compatibility: This kit is specifically for lenses with a 112mm front filter thread. For lenses with different thread sizes, Kase offers adapter rings or alternative filter systems.
Care: To maintain optimal performance:
- Clean the optical glass using a soft lens brush or lint-free microfiber cloth.
- For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, never directly on the glass.
- Store filters in their protective cases when not in use to prevent scratches and dust.
- Ensure the magnetic surfaces of both the filter and the lens mount are clean before attaching to ensure a secure connection.
