PolarPro 135 Series Gold Mist Filter 58mm

PolarPro 135 Series Gold Mist Filter 58mm – Kodak Gold-inspired warm highlight glow

The PolarPro 135 Series Gold Mist filter adds a retro-golden glow to your images by reducing contrast in the highlights and warming highlight tones. It produces softer image quality with less contrast while keeping shadows neutral, giving a Kodak Gold film-inspired look.

Filmic inspiration and design

The 135 Series blends modern glass technology with a throwback aesthetic. PolarPro presents this filter lineup as a nod to analog photography and cinematic storytelling from the 1970s. The collection pairs contemporary Chroma glass performance with a retro design, and it is presented as Peter McKinnon’s ode to film filters.

As described, these filters aim to produce cinematic quality images with nostalgic looks inspired by retro film grades, combining authentic craftsmanship with modern storytelling needs.

Canister, covers and practical extras

Each 135 Series filter ships in a retro film canister that features a front and rear threaded cover designed to emulate the look and feel of nostalgic film reels. Inside every filter cap you will find a quick Sunny 16 Rule cheat sheet, intended to help with on-the-go exposure adjustments and to guide you when shooting in varied lighting conditions.
