PolarPro 135 Series Black Mist Filter 95C – Creates Kodak Portra Film Look by Blooming Highlights
The PolarPro 135 Series Black Mist Filter gives your images a retro, filmic look. It works well for both film and digital photography. The filter reduces contrast by blooming highlights, which softens overly sharp images while preserving shadow depth.
What this filter does
The Black Mist effect lowers contrast and produces highlight bloom that mimics classic film grades. As a result, images appear softer and carry a nostalgic tonality similar to Kodak Portra film. At the same time, the mist version keeps shadow detail intact and does not alter color temperature.
Design, packaging and inspiration
The 135 Series pairs modern glass technology with a retro, film-inspired design. The filter comes in a throwback canister that emulates the look and feel of nostalgic film reels. The canister features a front and rear threaded cover for secure storage.
Inside each 135 Series filter cap, you will find a quick Sunny 16 Rule cheat sheet. This small guide helps with on-the-go exposure adjustments, giving you a fast reference for capturing shots in varied lighting conditions.
