About the PolarPro CINEGOLD-39
From our tech experts at CEN
The PolarPro CineGold Filter (CINEGOLD-39) is a 39mm screw-in 1/2 strength gold mist diffusion filter designed to emulate the warm highlights and low contrast of Kodak Portra 400 film. It uses German-made Chroma glass with anti-reflective, anti-fingerprint and anti-scratch coatings, in a weather-sealed 6061 aluminium frame. Transmission is 90%, and the box includes a filter case and microfibre cloth.
Who it suits
This filter suits portrait, lifestyle and street photographers who want a warm, filmic look without heavy editing. The 1/2 strength diffusion delivers a noticeable golden glow and softer contrast; for a lighter effect, the PolarPro McKinnon 135 Series 1/4 Gold Mist is an alternative if your lens uses a 49mm thread.
Our tech experts advise
Before purchasing, confirm your lens uses a 39mm filter thread — check the inside of the lens cap or the barrel markings. PolarPro provides colour presets to further emulate the Portra 400 palette in post-production. Store the filter in its supplied case when not in use to protect the coatings. See the full PolarPro range for other filter sizes and types.

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 CineGold 39mm filter?
A: It is a 39mm screw-in filter and fits any lens that accepts a 39mm filter. CineGold is also available in other thread sizes and as a Helix MagLock version.
Q: What does the CineGold filter do to an image?
A: CineGold is a 1/2 strength gold mist diffusion filter with 90% transmission. It gives a softer image with less contrast, warmer highlights and neutral shadows, designed to emulate Kodak Portra 400 film.
Q: What's in the box with the CineGold filter?
A: The box contains the PolarPro CineGold 39mm filter, a filter case and a microfibre cloth.
