- Variable 1.8 to 2.7 Optical Density
- 16-Layer Multicoating
- Chroma Glass
- Promotes Neutral Color Profile
A comprehensive filter for neutral density and polarization, this 6 to 9-stop, 82mm Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Black Mist Filter from PolarPro incorporates black particles inside the newly-developed Chroma Glass structure to provide 1/4 strength of bloomed highlights, color depth, and rich, dark shadows. The Chroma Glass allows the filter to have two distinct, independently controlled elements respectively for neutral density and polarization in a bi-rotational design. The new glass also increases the filter's color accuracy, only incurring the color variance that results from polarization.

Will this filter ever come in grade 1/8 black mist?
PolarPro 1/4 Black Mist blooms highlights by a similar amount as a PolarPro 1/8 Gold Mist. The difference is the gold mist has a warmer tone to the bloomed highlights. PolarPro does not make the PolarPro Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Black Mist Filter (82mm, 2 to 5-Stop, Grade 1/4) in 1/8 grade. They say that if they made Black Mist in 1/8 grade it may not show any effect in certain situations.
