• Black mist diffusion softens highlights and adds a cinematic glow to skin tones and bright areas
• 49mm filter thread fits a wide range of compact and mid-size lenses
• 24-month manufacturer warranty provides long-term reliability for professional use

What sets the Chroma VND/PL 2-5 apart

Unlike standard ND filters that only reduce light, this filter combines three functions in one: variable ND, polarisation, and a subtle black mist effect. The Mckinnon Series build quality ensures consistent colour neutrality across the ND range, while the black mist layer adds a natural-looking diffusion without flattening contrast.

Ideal for

Outdoor videographers and cinematographers shooting in bright conditions where controlling exposure and reflections is critical. The filter is well suited for run-and-gun documentary work, travel filmmaking, and any scenario where a single filter must handle changing light and glare.
