Rapid, Easy to use, has the ULTIMATE 100MM FILTER SYSTEM arrived?
Kase UK Partner Mike Prince trials the latest
I’ve been fortunate to be able to try out a brand new Kase Armour Filter system over the past couple of weeks and it’s been an immensely positive experience. One of the reasons I moved to Kase from another were clearly responsive to feedback from users. The Armour system is yet another example of that iterative process where suggestions are listened too, considered and used to fuel the development process. The result is an enhancement on an already exceptional system. The Armour system combines much of the simplicity of the increasingly popular round magnetic systems with the ability to integrate 100x150mm
What we know of the whole design process is that by and large, the slimmest, simplest designs are the best. However, as always, the real proof of the I have no hesitation in recommending this in two ways. Firstly I’m going to give it an unreservedly landscape photography, I cannot fault this new system.

The Armour holder is a completely new design and before going any further, I think it is a thing of engineering beauty. Very well designed and exquisitely put together. It works and it feels just right. It retains the familiar small red wheel on the left to rotate a polariser. The heritage is as clear as the progression. system, I took an exceptional step and committed to using the new system on a trip to Scotland the following week.
