PolarPro McKinnon 135 Gold Mist filter review: Like magic pixie dust, but for a camera lens

The Polar Pro McKinnon 135 Gold Mist filter up close.

I banned glitter from entering my house after a bad experience with a Christmas decoration that had me vacuuming up tiny specs of sparkle into July. But I think I’ve found a form of glitter that belongs not just in my house, but in my camera bag: the Polar Pro McKinnon 135 Gold Mist filter.

The Polar Pro Gold Mist filter has tiny flecks of gold-colored specks embedded in the glass. (Don’t worry, it’s not actual loose glitter – which is still banned from my house.) Adding this bit of sparkle is like magic pixie dust for a camera lens, creating golden blooms of light and more analog-inspired colors.
