Pete's throwback filter collection brings film-era character to modern cameras. The PolarPro 135 Series Chroma CPL Filter for 46 mm threads helps reduce reflections on water, glass, vehicles, and buildings. As a result, it leaves behind higher contrast and increased color depth in your images, whether you shoot on film or digital.
The 135 Series pairs a throwback, filmic aesthetic with contemporary glass performance. Furthermore, the filter features modern Chroma Glass while keeping a nostalgic look inspired by retro film grades. In other words, you get vintage styling without compromising image quality.
The filter arrives in a retro film canister that emulates classic film reels. In addition, the canister has both front and rear threaded covers, mirroring the look and feel of nostalgic film cartridges.
Inside every 135 Series filter cap, PolarPro includes a quick Sunny 16 Rule cheat sheet. This on-the-go guide helps you make fast exposure adjustments and capture shots reliably in varying lighting conditions.
The Chroma CPL removes unwanted reflections and glare. Consequently, you will see deeper colors, stronger contrast, and cleaner images. It is useful for both high-contrast black and white photography and vivid color scenes where reflection control matters.
