Schneider - 4x4" DigiCon # 1, Highlight & Shadow Contrast Control Professional Glass Filter

Take your photography and cinematography to the next level with the 4x4" True-Pol Circular Polarizer Professional Glass Filter. This high-quality, professional-grade filter is renowned as the most effective polarizer for motion picture and television cameras, boasting an extinction ratio of ER 374. This makes the Schneider True-Pol 12 times more effective than other polarizing filters, unmatched in its ability to reduce glare, eliminate unwanted reflections, saturate colors, deepen blue skies, and improve contrast. Crafted with precision, this durable filter is diamond cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass. It's meticulously ground and polished to achieve precise flatness and plane-parallelism, ensuring an exact parallel relationship between the front and back filter surfaces. The perfection of this process is verified by a laser interferometer, guaranteeing the highest level of optical performance. The Schneider True-Pol filter is checked with a densitometer for consistent density and tested with a spectrophotometer for optimal light transmission. This meticulous attention to detail results in ultra-high consistency, enabling cinematographers to swap like filters mid-shoot with no discernible variation in color or effect. Designed to withstand the most rigorous demands, this versatile filter features Schneider's specially formulated hard anti-reflective (AR) coating. This proprietary coating resists flaking, peeling, and scratching while reducing light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface. This is a significant improvement compared to untreated glass, which has a light loss of 4% per surface. Schneider's unique Edge Seal protects unmounted laminated filters against delamination and edge-chipping, reducing edge reflection and edge flare. The precision mounting rings on Schneider screw-on filters are virtually jam-proof, crafted from robust brass for long-lasting use. Unlike other filters that degrade image quality when used with long lenses, Schneider filters maintain unsurpassed clarity, light transmission, and color saturation. Even when stacked, they offer no visible compromise of image quality, making them the clear choice for use with any lens. In conclusion, the 4x4" True-Pol Circular Polarizer Professional Glass Filter is an essential tool for any professional photographer or cinematographer, designed to enhance image quality and withstand the rigors of on-set or location shooting.

Antique Suede: Reduces greenish tint in complexion shadows, while holding skintones nicely with added warmth. Diamond cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, Schneider filters are ground and polished to a precise flatness and plane-parallelism (exact parallel relationship between front and back filter surfaces). Then, to ensure perfection, this is verified by a laser interferometer. Schneider filters are then checked with a densitometer for consistent density, and tested with a spectrophotometer for proper light transmission. It's due to this ultra-high consistency, that allows cinematographers to swap like filters mid-shoot with no discernible variation in color or effect. What's more, the unprecedented purity, color saturation and repeatability of Schneider filters virtually eliminate the need for lab color timing correction. Schneider filters stand up to the most rigorous demands on set or location. Manyfeature Schneider's specially formulated hard anti-reflective (AR) coating to resist flaking, peeling and scratching. This proprietary coating also reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface, compared to untreated glass that has a light loss of 4% per surface. Schneider screw-on filters feature virtually jam-proof brass precision mounting rings, while unmounted Schneider laminated filters are protected against delamination and edge-chipping by Schneider's unique Edge Seal, which also reduces edge reflection and edge flare. The common perception among photographers and cinematographer's is that filters should not be used in front of long length lenses, due to the critically short depth of field of these lenses. This belief is often confirmed when poorly made glass or plastic-resin filters are placed in front of a long lens, and the degradation of the image is visible simply by looking through the viewfinder. This degradation is caused by poor quality control, low-quality glass and poor glass grinding and polishing techniques used in the manufacture of such filters. Schneider filters have no such problems, and can be used in front of even the longest lens. Diamond-cut from high-quality optical glass, then ground and polished to precise lens-making standards, Schneider filters offer unsurpassed clarity, light transmission and color saturation with absolutely no visible compromise of image quality.

Bring your photography to the next level with the 4x4" Neutral Density ND 0.9 Soft Edge Graduated Color Professional Glass Filter. Crafted by Schneider, a leader in high-quality photography equipment, this filter is designed to provide superior control over exposure and depth of field under various lighting conditions without affecting color or contrast. Unlike other brands, Schneider's Absorptive ND filters are a neutral gray, achieved with meticulous laboratory precision. This ensures that your images maintain their true colors, regardless of the lighting conditions. Each Schneider filter is diamond cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, then ground and polished to a precise flatness and plane-parallelism. This exact parallel relationship between the front and back filter surfaces is verified by a laser interferometer, ensuring perfection in every piece. The filters are then checked with a densitometer for consistent density, and tested with a spectrophotometer for proper light transmission. This ultra-high consistency allows photographers and cinematographers to swap like filters mid-shoot with no discernible variation in color or effect. Schneider filters are designed to withstand the most rigorous demands on set or location. They feature Schneider's specially formulated hard anti-reflective (AR) coating to resist flaking, peeling, and scratching.
