Capture filmic, high-contrast images with the PolarPro 135 Series Chroma CPL Filter in 72mm. This circular polarizer removes unwanted reflections and leaves behind stronger contrast and richer color depth. You can use it for shooting on film or digital cameras, especially when you want cleaner water, glass, or vehicle surfaces in your frame.
The 135 Series blends a retro, 70s-inspired design with modern optical performance. Peter McKinnon’s ode to film filters inspired the lineup, and PolarPro built the Chroma CPL using contemporary Chroma Glass housed in a throwback package. As a result, the filter delivers a nostalgic look while relying on up-to-date glass tech.
Moreover, PolarPro includes practical, nostalgic details. Each filter ships in a retro film canister that features front and rear threaded covers, emulating the look and feel of classic film reels. Inside the cap, you will find a quick Sunny 16 Rule cheat sheet. This included guide helps you make fast exposure decisions when shooting outdoors.
Use the Chroma CPL to reduce reflections on vehicles, buildings, or water. As a result, you will get images with increased contrast and deeper colors. This makes the filter a useful tool for landscape, street, architectural, and cinematic shooting scenarios on both film and digital cameras.
PolarPro equips the filter with protective coatings and an anodized, weather-sealed aluminum frame and canister. These choices preserve optical performance and help protect the filter in field conditions.
