PolarPro Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Filter

The Gold Mist effect softens harsh highlights and introduces a subtle, warm halation around bright light sources. It creates a more cinematic, dreamlike aesthetic directly in-camera, reducing the need for heavy post-production grading.

The filter features a bi-rotational design, meaning you can adjust the neutral density and the polarization independently. This allows you to dial in your exposure stops and manage reflections or glare separately without one setting affecting the other.

No, this filter is engineered to maintain a neutral color profile. The 16-layer multicoating ensures that light transmission remains accurate, preventing the unwanted color shifts often found in lower-quality variable ND filters.

The ball-bearing locking mechanism prevents the filter from accidentally rotating once you have set your desired density and polarization. It provides tactile feedback and ensures your settings stay secure while you are moving between shots.

This filter offers an optical density range of 0.6 to 1.5, which translates to 2 to 5 stops of light reduction. It is ideal for controlling exposure in bright, dynamic lighting conditions without needing to swap out multiple filters.

This specific model has a 95mm diameter and uses a threaded mounting system. You will need to ensure your lens has a 95mm filter thread or use a step-up ring if your lens diameter is smaller.
