PolarPro Chroma VND/PL McKinnon Series

The Chroma designation indicates that this filter combines three distinct effects into one piece of glass: variable neutral density, a circular polarizer, and a diffusion element. It is designed to streamline your workflow by handling light control, glare reduction, and highlight softening simultaneously.

This specific filter is designed for a 67mm thread. If your lens has a different filter thread size, you will need to use a step-up or step-down adapter ring to mount it securely.

The diffusion effect is built into the glass and is always active, providing a consistent, subtle glow to your highlights. You cannot dial the diffusion intensity up or down, but you can adjust the ND stops and polarization independently.

Because this is a multi-element filter, it is slightly thicker than a standard single-element filter. While it is designed to minimize vignetting, you may experience some darkening in the corners if you use it on ultra-wide-angle lenses.

The 6-9 stop range is specifically calibrated for bright, outdoor conditions where you need to maintain a cinematic shutter speed. It provides significant light reduction, making it ideal for shooting wide open in harsh sunlight without overexposing your footage.

No, this filter is not rated as water-resistant. While it is built for demanding field use, you should take care to keep it dry and clean it properly if it is exposed to moisture or debris.
