The new gold standard for medium light

The 42CILA Lavender is far more than just a new violet glass; it's the answer to the most frequently expressed wishes of the Pilla community. Positioned between the darker 30CIHB and the brighter 52CIN, the Lavender glass fills a crucial gap in the range and will immediately replace the legendary 40CN as the new standard for medium light .

The technological basis is the proven color curve of the 30CIHB, but with a crucial upgrade: The 42CILA offers more "lift" (visual brightening) and even stronger neutralization of distracting background colors. The result is an extremely versatile lens that offers unparalleled brilliance under cloudy skies or changing light conditions.

The highlights of the 42CILA Lavender:

• Perfect balance: Closes the gap between 30CIHB and 52CIN – ideal when it's too dark for 30 but too bright for 52.

• Optimized Visual Lift: Produces a brighter, higher-contrast image that massively speeds up target acquisition in diffuse lighting conditions.

• Enhanced Neutralization: Suppresses distracting ambient colors even more effectively, so that the target remains in focus without visual distraction.

• Versatility as standard: Designed as the “go-to” lens for almost all medium lighting situations – the legitimate successor to the 40CN.

• Expert tip: "For me, the Lavender lens is the most important innovation of 2026. Anyone who loved the 40CN will celebrate the 42CILA. It offers precisely that extra touch of brightness and contrast sharpness that makes the difference in crucial moments of competition."
