No matter how advanced cameras become, there are human sensations that never appear exactly as they are in a photograph.

Even as resolution improves, colors become more accurate, and resistance to backlight grows stronger, the feel of wind on your skin, the density of the air, and the subtle shimmer of light beyond your field of view remain difficult to capture.

To bring even a trace of those nuances into an image, we layer optical filters—adding what digital processing alone cannot reproduce. Colors that shift with the angle of light, light that quietly slips in from outside the frame, and highlights that bloom just for a moment—these small optical changes become the key to preserving the feeling of that moment in photographs and video.

And when expression can be layered, photography becomes more free.

Layer-X is a layered filter system designed to make that freedom something you can use, confidently and continuously.

OPF 550-L + Sparkle6

OPF 480-L + Clear Streak

Protector / UV + CDF-L

CDF-S + Sparkle4

Layering light, photography opens up.

The Layer-X System is a hybrid lens filter system that combines a screw-in BASE with magnetically layered PLUS filters.
BASE filters such as Protectors, CDF, and OPF remain on the front of the lens as a constant reference for light.
PLUS filters—ND, CPL, or cross—are added according to the situation at hand.
By separating what stays on the lens from what is chosen in the moment, the system naturally expands the freedom of how you engage with photography.
