That's the equivalent of a Skylight 1A - slight warming and useable  
as a protection filter if you normally shoot in broad daylight. 1.1x  
refers to the filter factor, indicating that you lose just 0.1 of a  
stop. Never sure what the KR means but a KR3 is much 'warmer.'  I  
prefer their UV 010 as a protector.
