About the PolarPro 77-BLKMIST-1/2
From our tech experts at CEN
The PolarPro CineBlack 77mm (model 77-BLKMIST-1/2) is a 1/2 strength black mist diffusion filter that screws directly onto any 77mm lens thread. It uses Chroma Series glass made in Germany, with 90% light transmission and a weather-sealed 6061 aluminium frame. It blooms highlights, softens digital contrast and preserves deep shadow depth to emulate a Kodak cine film look.
Who it suits
This filter suits video creators and photographers who want a pronounced cinematic look from their existing lenses. The 1/2 strength delivers more halation and contrast diffusion than the 1/4 version — if you prefer subtler diffusion, the PolarPro Shortstache 77mm 1/4 Black Mist is a lighter alternative.
Our tech experts advise
Check your lens filter thread before ordering — this is a 77mm screw-in filter only and will not fit other thread sizes. It ships with a filter case and microfibre cloth for safe storage on location. Lightroom presets are included to match the filter's tones in post. If you use the PolarPro Helix MagLock system, a compatible CineBlack MagLock version is also available in the PolarPro collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which filter do I need - ND, polariser or variable ND?
A: A polariser cuts glare and deepens colour. Fixed ND filters reduce light by a set amount for controlled shutter speeds. Variable NDs adjust across a range, making them the flexible choice for video. The filter type and strength are listed in the Specification tab.
Q: Will this filter fit my lens or drone?
A: Filters are made per thread size or per drone model. Check the size in the product title and Specification tab against your lens thread or drone model, or contact CEN to confirm.
Q: Do filters degrade image quality?
A: Quality glass filters are designed to be optically neutral. Cheap filters can introduce colour casts and softness, which is why we stock cinema-grade brands with strong colour accuracy.
Q: What size is the PolarPro CineBlack 77mm filter?
A: It is a 77mm screw-in filter, designed to thread directly onto any lens with a 77mm filter thread. The same filter is also available in other thread sizes and as a Helix MagLock version.
Q: What strength is the CineBlack mist?
A: CineBlack is a 1/2 strength black mist diffusion filter with 90% light transmission. It gives more halation and contrast diffusion than a 1/4 strength mist while still keeping shadow depth.
Q: What's in the box with the CineBlack filter?
A: The box contains the PolarPro CineBlack 77mm filter, a filter case and a microfibre cloth.
