What sets the Schneider-Kreuznach Cine Filter Radiant Black apart in the diffusion filter category is its unparalleled ability to enhance all aspects of portrait photography, from intimate close-ups to expansive wide-angle shots. This state-of-the-art filter is meticulously designed to accentuate the beauty of skin tones, while offering superior contrast control. It preserves the depth of rich blacks and effectively eliminates unwanted haze, ensuring your images are crisp and clear.The Radiant Black Filter is offered in two sizes, 4x5.65" and 6.6x6.6", each available in five strengths (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2) for optimal customization. Additionally, it comes as a screw-in filter in M77, M82, and M95 sizes in 1/2 and 1 strengths, providing flexibility for various photography needs.Esteemed Director of Photography (DoP) and Coach, Matthias Bolliger, who was the first to shoot a feature film using the Radiant Black Filters, praises their unique qualities. He notes that Schneider-Kreuznach's Radiant Black glass filters are soft-focus filters that utilize colored "sparkles" within the filter glass. This innovative feature creates an analog film look, subtly influencing black levels and overall contrast. When paired with ISCOsphericals and their vintage coating, these filters were instrumental in creating the "back-to-the-90s" look for the adaptation of the novel "A Man of His Class".The Radiant Black Filter is a must-have tool for filmmakers and photographers seeking a high-quality diffusion filter solution. Its availability marks a new era in image enhancement, promising outstanding results for all visual artists.
