Schneider 4x4" Neutral Density ND 1.2 Professional Glass Filter

Find the perfect balance in your photography with the 4x4" Neutral Density ND 1.2 Professional Glass Filter from Schneider. These Neutral Density (ND) filters are meticulously designed to manage exposure and depth of field under diverse lighting conditions, without compromising on color or contrast. Unlike other brands, Schneider's Absorptive ND filters maintain a neutral gray tone, achieved with laboratory precision.

Each Schneider filter is diamond cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, then ground and polished to ensure precise flatness and plane-parallelism. This exact parallel relationship between the front and back filter surfaces is verified by a laser interferometer for perfection. The filters are further checked with a densitometer for consistent density and tested with a spectrophotometer for optimal light transmission. This ultra-high consistency allows photographers and cinematographers to switch filters mid-shoot without any noticeable variation in color or effect.

The purity, color saturation, and repeatability of Schneider filters virtually eliminate the need for lab color timing correction. These filters are designed to withstand the most rigorous demands on set or location. Many of them feature 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's screw-on filters feature virtually jam-proof brass precision mounting rings. 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.

Contrary to the common perception that filters should not be used in front of long length lenses, Schneider filters have no such limitations. Poorly made glass or plastic-resin filters can degrade the image quality, but Schneider filters, thanks to their superior quality control, high-quality glass, and advanced glass grinding and polishing techniques, can be used confidently with even the longest lens.
