PolarPro presents the CineGold, a deluxe 49mm photo filter that channels the vintage cinematic aesthetic of Kodak Portra 400 film. Filmmakers and photographers will find the filter useful for achieving a film-like look directly from the lens, while adding timeless warmth and creamy tones to their images.
The CineGold recreates a Porta-inspired aesthetic with soft contrast, warm mids and pastel rolloff. As a result, it helps deliver a vintage cinematic feel that works well for storytelling and mood-driven imagery. In addition, the filter applies a 1/2 strength gold-mist diffusion that creates an organic bloom in highlights. This diffusion is particularly effective during golden hour or in strong backlit settings, where highlights take on a subtle, glowing quality.
To complement the in-camera effect, each CineGold purchase includes a custom LUT/preset bundle. The bundle provides four distinct color grades, allowing you to match your post-production to the filter’s aesthetic right out of the box. The included effects are:
The CineGold uses high-quality materials stated by PolarPro. The glass is Chroma-made in Germany, and it receives multiple coatings to support handling and image clarity. The filter frame is constructed from 6061 aluminum and is weather sealed with anodization.
