Product Description

Combining creative light control with cinematic softness, the 82mm Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Black Mist Filter delivers both variable neutral density (2 to 5 stops) and polarization in a single, compact filter. Built with PolarPro’s next-generation Chroma Glass, this version introduces microscopic black particles within the glass to produce a subtle 1/4-strength diffusion effect—blooming highlights, enriching color depth, and enhancing shadow contrast for a filmic look.

Its bi-rotational design enables independent adjustment of ND and polarizer settings, giving creators precise control over exposure and reflection management. The Chroma Glass also ensures remarkable color fidelity, with minimal tonal shift beyond natural polarization effects.

For smoother operation, ball-bearing click stops provide tactile feedback and lock each ND level securely in place. The filter is finished with 16 layers of premium coatings, offering resistance to scratches, reflections, and fingerprints while maintaining superior optical clarity—making it an essential tool for photographers and filmmakers seeking cinematic, polished imagery straight from the lens.
