PolarPro 135 Series Chroma CPL Filter 49mm – Classic glare reduction for high-contrast, cinematic images
Pete’s throwback filter collection adapts vintage film sensibilities for modern cameras. The PolarPro 135 Series Chroma CPL Filter reduces reflections and helps produce higher contrast and increased color depth. You can use it when shooting on film or digital to achieve cinematic looks inspired by retro film grades.
Designed for a filmic, retro feel
The 135 Series blends modern glass technology with throwback branding. The filter ships in a retro film canister that emulates the look and feel of nostalgic film reels. The canister includes a front and rear threaded cover and protects the filter when you transport it.
Inside the canister you’ll find a quick Sunny 16 Rule cheat sheet. This guide helps you make fast exposure decisions on the go, designed for effortless exposure adjustments in changing light.
Optical performance and use cases
The Chroma CPL removes reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, vehicles, and building glass. By removing reflections, the filter leaves behind higher contrast and increased color depth in your image. Use it to reduce glare, deepen skies, and enhance color saturation for both stills and cinematic footage.
The Chroma CPL uses modern Chroma glass while keeping a retro-filmic appearance. It suits filmmakers and photographers who want classic glare reduction alongside contemporary optical performance.
