I ditched my old ND filter in lieu of the Polar Pro Peter McKinnon series last year... My two favorite lenses have different thread sizes and with these, all I needed to do was pickup the base plate for each lens and my filters now work across both. These are top notch and easy to mount/unmount. The Black Mist filter is the latest in my collection and use it for landscapes, nature and portraits. It provides this deep black highlights that really add atmosphere to images.

I ditched my old ND filter in lieu of the Polar Pro Peter McKinnon series last year...

Take your photography and videography to the next level with the Polar Pro Peter McKinnon Chroma Helix Maglock VND/PL Filter. This innovative filter, developed in collaboration with renowned photographer Peter McKinnon, combines the power of a Variable Neutral Density (VND) filter and a Polarizer into one seamless solution, designed to reduce glare and reflections while achieving cinematic shutter speeds.
The standout feature of this filter is its adjustable polarizer, which provides a sharp and clean look to your images. The VND component allows you to precisely control exposure during outdoor shoots, ensuring optimal image quality. At the heart of this setup is the all-new Chroma Glass, which integrates a Polarizer into the Variable ND filter, delivering exceptionally neutral color accuracy.
For those seeking creative versatility, the filter offers additional variations such as the VND/PL with a 1/4 Black Mist or 1/8 Gold Mist. These options introduce subtle diffusion to highlights, enhancing your creative expression. The Black Mist variation adds a gentle halation effect around highlights while maintaining deep black shadows, whereas the Gold Mist variation imparts a warm, golden bloom to highlights.
One of the key features of this filter is its independent polarization capability. This allows you to customize the level of polarization for each scene, from no polarization to full engagement, giving you complete creative control. The Chroma Series Glass ensures unrivaled color accuracy, making it possible to combine a Polarizer with a Variable ND in a single filter.
The filter's design includes a preset stop range to prevent cross-polarization, and haptic feedback locks ensure each VND stop is securely in place. This tactile feedback also facilitates easy rotation of the polarizer without affecting the VND setting. For ultimate protection, the Defender360 offers a full 360-degree encasement, safeguarding your filter whether it's on your camera or stored in your bag.
Say goodbye to the hassle of stacking multiple filters. This 6-in-1 filter combination eliminates vignetting and reduces the need for additional filters, resulting in a lower profile that can remain on your lens. Enjoy faster setup speeds, easier filter swaps, and a lighter camera bag with more space for other essentials. Elevate your creative projects with the Polar Pro Peter McKinnon Chroma Helix Maglock VND/PL Filter, the ultimate tool for photographers and videographers seeking precision and versatility.
