About This Item
What sets the Polar Pro Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Filter apart is its innovative design, crafted in collaboration with renowned photographer Peter McKinnon. This advanced filter combines the functionalities of a Variable Neutral Density (VND) filter and a Polarizer, offering photographers and videographers the ability to reduce glare and reflections while achieving cinematic shutter speeds. The adjustable polarizer ensures a sharp, clean image, while the VND feature allows for precise exposure control during outdoor shoots.The standout feature of this filter is the all-new Chroma Series Glass, which integrates a Polarizer into the Variable ND filter, ensuring extremely neutral color accuracy. This unique glass formula allows for independent rotation of the polarizer, giving you the flexibility to adjust from no polarization to full polarization, tailored to each scene's needs. Whether you aim to minimize glare or maintain reflections, this filter provides the creative control you desire.The VND/PL filter is available in additional variations, including the 1/4 Black Mist and 1/8 Gold Mist options. These variations introduce subtle diffusion to highlights, enhancing your images with a distinctive look. The Black Mist version softens excessive sharpness, creating a smooth highlight roll-off and blooming light sources, while retaining deep shadow detail. The Gold Mist version adds a warm, golden hue to highlights, offering a filmic aesthetic.Designed with practicality in mind, the filter features preset stop ranges to prevent cross-polarization and haptic feedback for secure stop adjustments. The Defender360 encasement offers unparalleled protection, ensuring your filter remains safe whether mounted on your camera or stored in your bag.The VND component is ideal for reducing light, allowing you to shoot at double frame rates for natural motion capture with subtle blur, and is also perfect for long exposure photography. The polarizer can be rotated to control reflections on surfaces like water, windows, and vehicles, giving you the option to either fully engage the polarizer for maximum glare reduction or leave it inactive to include reflections in your composition.This 6-in-1 filter eliminates the need for stacking multiple filters, reducing vignetting and offering a lower profile that can remain on your lens. This results in faster setup times, easier filter swaps, and less weight in your camera bag, providing more space for other essentials. Experience the benefits of this versatile filter combination and elevate your photography and videography to new heights..
