Capture cleaner, more contrast-rich images by removing unwanted reflections with the PolarPro 135 Series Chroma CPL Filter in 58mm. This filter reduces glare from surfaces such as water, glass, and vehicle paint, which leaves behind stronger contrast and deeper color saturation in your photos and footage.
The 135 Series blends a retro, filmic aesthetic with contemporary Chroma glass technology. The design pays homage to film-era cameras and storytelling while using modern optics to preserve image sharpness and color neutrality. Notably, this edition is presented as Peter McKinnon’s ode to film filters, combining nostalgic looks inspired by retro film grades with up-to-date glass and coatings.
PolarPro packages each filter in a throwback canister that echoes the look and feel of old film reels. The 135 Series canister includes front and rear threaded covers designed to emulate classic film reel can caps.
Additionally, every filter cap contains a quick Sunny 16 Rule cheat sheet. This built-in reference helps you make fast exposure adjustments on the go and supports consistent results across changing light conditions.
