Portra Filter | 49mm (49-PORTRA)
The Portra Filter delivers a soft, organic look inspired by Kodak Portra 400 film, straight out of camera. The glass combines a custom colour tone, 1/4 White Mist diffusion and a built-in Chroma polariser to produce warm highlights, natural skin tones and controlled glare — all in one filter. If you also shoot with a polariser-based filter system, PolarPro's Shortstache 49mm Everyday filter offers a complementary 1/4 Black Mist and Chroma Polariser option for the same thread size.
- Warm, neutral-leaning colour profile inspired by Portra 400 film.
- Natural, creamy skin tones; warm rather than harsh highlights; removes the digital edge without flattening the composition.
- Subtle 1/4 White Mist diffusion tuned for highlight roll-off and a filmic look.
- Built-in Chroma polariser reduces reflections and increases colour depth and separation.
- Three optical effects in one filter: less time grading, more consistency across shoots, repeatable results straight out of camera.
Diffusion Inspired by Kodak Portra 400
The Portra Filter blends colour tone, diffusion and glare reduction into a single optical filter. Soft diffusion and controlled glare work together to preserve texture, tone and atmosphere in every frame.
Finished at Capture
Natural skin tones, warm highlights and smooth roll-off deliver a finished look without post-processing.

About the PolarPro 49-PORTRA
From our tech experts at CEN
The PolarPro Portra Filter (49-PORTRA) is a 49mm screw-on filter combining a Kodak Portra 400-inspired colour tone, 1/4 White Mist diffusion and a built-in Chroma polariser in a single piece of glass. It produces warm highlights, natural skin tones and controlled glare reduction straight out of camera. The 6061 aluminium alloy frame ships in a Portra graphic hard case with a TPE insert.
Who it suits
This filter suits portrait, lifestyle and travel photographers who want a filmic look without heavy post-processing. The warm colour profile and soft diffusion are well suited to skin tones and natural-light scenes. For a cooler diffusion alternative at 49mm, the PolarPro Shortstache 49mm uses a 1/4 Black Mist with Chroma Polariser.
Our tech experts advise
Before ordering, check your lens has a 49mm filter thread — this is stamped on the lens barrel. The filter screws on directly; no adapter is needed for a 49mm thread. As it combines diffusion and polarisation in one element, there is no need to stack additional filters. Browse the full PolarPro range at CEN.

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: Does the Portra Filter have a polariser built in?
A: Yes. It has a built-in Chroma polariser that reduces reflections to increase colour depth and separation, alongside the Portra colour tone and 1/4 white mist diffusion.
Q: What diffusion strength does the Portra Filter use?
A: It uses a subtle 1/4 White Mist, tuned for highlight roll-off and a filmic look.
Q: What size is this filter?
A: This is the 49mm version. Check that your lens filter thread is 49mm, which is usually marked on the lens barrel or inside the lens cap.
Q: What comes in the box?
A: The PolarPro Portra Filter (49mm) and a filter case. The case is a Portra graphic hard case with a TPE insert.
