Product Description

Combining neutral density, polarization, and diffusion effects in one versatile tool, the 49mm Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Black Mist Filter from PolarPro delivers 2 to 5 stops of light reduction while enhancing your imagery with a cinematic touch. Utilizing newly developed Chroma Glass, this filter integrates fine black particles into its structure to create a 1/4-strength black mist effect—softening highlights, enriching color depth, and producing smooth, dark shadows for a more atmospheric look.

Its bi-rotational design features two independently controlled elements for neutral density and polarization, offering creative flexibility and precision. The ND control helps manage exposure for long-exposure effects or motion blur, while the polarizer minimizes glare and reflections for cleaner, sharper visuals.

Designed for both performance and handling, the filter includes ball-bearing click stops at each ND setting for secure, tactile adjustments. Additionally, its 16-layer coating system protects against scratches, reflections, and fingerprints, ensuring lasting optical clarity in demanding shooting conditions.
