PolarPro Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Gold Mist Filter (67mm, 2 to 5-Stop, Grade 1/8)

Overview

The PolarPro Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Gold Mist Filter (67mm, 2 to 5-Stop, Grade 1/8) combines variable neutral density, circular polarization, and subtle diffusion into a single professional filter. Built with newly developed Chroma Glass, it incorporates gold particles to create 1/8 strength golden highlight bloom and halation while maintaining natural midtones and shadow detail.

The bi-rotational design enables independent control of both the variable ND and polarizer elements, providing precise exposure and reflection management. Improved color accuracy ensures minimal color shift beyond the natural effects of polarization.

Core Features

• Variable 2 to 5-stop neutral density range.
• Integrated circular polarizer for glare reduction.
• Gold Mist diffusion at Grade 1/8 strength.
• Chroma Glass with enhanced color accuracy.
• Bi-rotational independent control design.
• Ball bearing locking mechanism for VND stops.
• 16-layer anti-scratch, anti-reflective, and anti-fingerprint coating.

Optical Performance

The 0.6 to 1.5 optical density range (2 to 5 stops) allows controlled exposure reduction for creative effects such as shallow depth of field or motion blur in bright environments. The circular polarizer reduces glare and reflections, increasing contrast and color saturation for a sharper, cleaner image.

Design & Build

Constructed from premium glass and housed in a durable aluminum ring, the filter features a tactile ball bearing mechanism that locks each VND stop securely into place. The 16-layer coating provides resistance against scratches, reflections, and fingerprints for dependable performance.
