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 is the difference between the Gold Mist and Black Mist?
A: Both are 1/4 strength McKinnon 135 Series diffusion filters. The Gold Mist is inspired by Kodak Gold film stock, while the Black Mist gives a Kodak Portra look with subtle diffusion and shadow depth.
Q: What thread size is this filter?
A: This filter is 52mm. Check that your lens filter thread is 52mm, which is usually marked on the lens barrel or inside the lens cap.
Q: What comes in the box?
A: The 52mm filter, a retro aluminium film canister to store it and a microfibre cloth. The canister cap has a Sunny 16 exposure cheat sheet inside.
