PolarPro Chroma PMVND/PL/Gold Mist 2-5 stop 95mm Coarse Thread

PolarPro Chroma PMVND/PL/Gold Mist 2-5 Stop 95mm Coarse Thread – Variable ND with Polarizer and Warm Gold Diffusion

The PolarPro Chroma PMVND/PL/Gold Mist 2-5 Stop filter combines a variable neutral density, a polarizer, and a Gold Mist diffusion in a single 95mm coarse-thread filter. It gives filmmakers and photographers precise exposure control in bright conditions while reducing glare and introducing a warm, cinematic glow.

What this filter does

Use this filter to manage extreme light levels, cut reflections from water and glass, and soften highlights with a subtle golden diffusion. It works well for vibrant landscapes, stylized portraits, and high-contrast outdoor scenes. The integrated elements let you adjust exposure, reduce glare, and add atmosphere without swapping multiple filters.

Coarse thread compatibility

The filter has a slightly coarser thread to fit lenses with coarse front threads. For example, it fits lenses such as Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.0, Zeiss Milvus 15mm f/2.0, and Sigma 150-600 f/5.6-6.3. Check your lens front thread specification to confirm compatibility.

Key features and benefits

• 2-5 Stop Variable ND: Adjust between 2 and 5 stops of light reduction to control exposure in very bright environments, useful for long exposures and wide-aperture videography.
• Integrated Polarizer: Reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water and glass while enhancing color saturation for more vibrant, detailed images.
• Gold Mist Diffusion: Add a warm, golden glow to highlights and soften skin tones to create a smooth, cinematic look without compromising clarity.
