PolarPro 135 Series Gold Mist Filter 77mm – Creates a Kodak Gold Film look by reducing highlight contrast
The PolarPro 135 Series Gold Mist Filter gives your images a retro-golden glow by reducing contrast in highlights and adding warm, film-like highlights inspired by Kodak Gold Film. You get a softer image quality with warmer highlights while keeping neutral shadows. This 77mm version fits lenses with a 77mm thread.
Filmic look and retro presentation
The 135 Series combines modern glass technology with a throwback design. PolarPro designed the filter to evoke the nostalgia of analog film cameras and cinematic storytelling from the 1970s. Furthermore, the filter comes in a retro film canister that mirrors the look and feel of nostalgic film reels.
Additionally, the canister includes practical touches: both front and rear threaded covers and a quick Sunny 16 Rule cheat sheet inside the cap. This cheat sheet helps you make fast exposure adjustments on the go in varied lighting conditions.
