About the PolarPro 135-CHRMPL-82MM
From our tech experts at CEN
The PolarPro McKinnon 135 Series Chroma PL is an 82mm circular polariser filter with German-made Chroma glass, designed to cut glare and boost colour contrast. The filter frame is weather-sealed 6061 aluminium with anti-reflective, anti-fingerprint and anti-scratch coatings.

Who it suits
Suits photographers and filmmakers who already shoot with an 82mm filter thread and want precise colour fidelity from a CPL. The Chroma glass delivers high contrast without diffusion. For a warmer, softened look, consider the McKinnon 135 Series 82mm Gold Mist instead.
Our tech experts advise
Check your lens filter thread size before ordering — this filter fits 82mm threads only. The weather-sealed aluminium frame handles outdoor shooting in variable conditions. Clean the filter with the included microfibre cloth and store it in the canister when not in use. Browse the full range in our 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 does the Chroma PL filter do?
A: It is a circular polariser (CPL) that reduces glare and boosts contrast for classic high-contrast looks, using Chroma glass for accurate colour.
Q: What thread size is this filter?
A: This filter is 82mm. Check that your lens filter thread is 82mm, which is usually marked on the lens barrel or inside the lens cap.
Q: What comes in the box?
A: The 82mm filter, a retro aluminium film canister to store it and a microfibre cloth. The canister cap has a Sunny 16 exposure cheat sheet inside.
