PolarPro 135 Series Chroma CPL Filter 52mm

PolarPro 135 Series Chroma CPL Filter 52mm – Reduces reflections for higher contrast and deeper color

Classic throwback design built for film and digital shooting

Pete’s throwback filter collection targets both film and digital shooters. The 135 Series blends retro film styling with modern glass technology. Peter McKinnon’s ode to film filters inspired the look and feel of this lineup, and the design aims to deliver cinematic, nostalgic results while remaining compatible with current camera systems.

Filmic packaging and practical on-the-go tools

The 135 Series filter canister reproduces the aesthetic of nostalgic film reels. It features a front and rear threaded cover that emulates that classic reel look, and it also serves as a protective case for the filter.

Inside every 135 Series filter cap, you will find a quick Sunny 16 Rule cheat sheet. This small reference helps you make fast exposure adjustments when shooting in varied lighting conditions, so you can capture consistent images without consulting separate guides.

How the Chroma CPL improves your images

The Chroma CPL removes unwanted reflections from surfaces such as water, glass, and vehicle paint. By reducing glare, the filter leaves behind higher contrast and increased color depth in your image. In short, it helps you recover richer tones and clearer details when reflections would otherwise wash out the scene.

Additionally, the Chroma CPL combines modern glass technology with the throwback branding of the 135 Series, linking contemporary performance to a retro aesthetic.
