manufacturers of photographic filters.
In 2007 they announced that they were to merge with the well known Japanese camera manufacturer Pentax, in 2008 they announced that they would keep the Pentax name for their camera and lens division.
What are they?
Quite simply, they are a flat and optically correct glass filter in a metal mount, that can be screwed to the front of your lens, they have a large veriety of uses and come in many colours for use in special effects, gradiations, polarising and colour corrections, including the UV correction filters discussed here, you can also get filters that are etched or deliberately flawed for use in making starbursts, soft focus effects etc. and finally you can also get Close up (magnifying) filters for use in close up pictures, effectively turning a standard lens into a macro lens.
