Film-inspired design and practical canister
This filter belongs to Pete's throwback collection inspired by the 70s and the golden era of film cameras. The 135 Series pairs contemporary Chroma glass with nostalgic styling. Peter McKinnon designed the lineup as an ode to film filters, and the packaging reflects that inspiration.
The filter ships in a retro film canister that features a front and rear threaded cover, emulating the look and feel of classic film reels. Inside the canister, you will find a quick Sunny 16 Rule cheat sheet. This on-the-go guide helps you make effortless exposure adjustments when shooting in varied lighting conditions.
How the Chroma CPL improves your images
The Chroma CPL removes unwanted reflections from surfaces such as water, glass, vehicles, and building facades. As a result, you get higher contrast and increased color depth. You can use the filter to capture high-contrast black-and-white images or to enhance color saturation and clarity in color work.
