About the PolarPro 49-GLDMST-1/2
From our tech experts at CEN
The PolarPro CineGold Filter 49mm (model 49-GLDMST-1/2) is a 1/2 strength gold mist diffusion filter for any 49mm screw-in lens thread, engineered to emulate the warm highlights, low contrast and pastel palette of Kodak Portra 400 film. Chroma glass is made in Germany, and the 6061 aluminium frame is weather sealed.
Who it suits
This filter suits portrait, lifestyle and wedding photographers or videographers who want a warm, cinematic film aesthetic captured in-camera. The 1/2 strength gives noticeable diffusion and glow around highlights. For a subtler effect at the same thread size, the PolarPro McKinnon 135 Series 49mm 1/4 Gold Mist is worth considering.
Our tech experts advise
The screw-in design fits any 49mm lens thread with no adapter needed. At 1/2 strength, diffusion is moderately strong — better suited to portraits and close-up work than wide shots. PolarPro includes colour presets to help match the Portra 400 look in post. The filter ships with a protective case and microfibre cloth. See the full PolarPro collection for other sizes and styles.

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 49mm filter?
A: It is a 49mm screw-in filter and fits any lens that accepts a 49mm 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 49mm filter, a filter case and a microfibre cloth.
