Consistent Quality for Independent Film

I used this filter kit for 20+ days of shooting an independent film this past summer - The Broken Road. I was particularly pleased with the black frost filter in giving me a consistent look throughout the entire film. I also frequently used the polarizer to reduce glare on glass and to deepen the blue in the sky. I love the case the filters come in, however you do have to be very careful about not scratching the glass or droping the filters. Handle with care and they'll perform beautifully for you.I am very pleased with the results and would use them again. To see footage shot through these filters on a JVC GY-100U check out [...] and watch the trailer.

About Century Optics 4x4 Filter Kit (Circular Polarizer, ND 0.9 Black Frost 1/2)

Century Optics is pleased to present three of the most useful Schneider Filters now packaged together in a single kit.
The Schneider 4x4 Filter Kit consists of three Schneider glass filters: a Circular True-Pol, a Black Frost 1/2, and an ND 0.9.

Schneider True-Pol filters have become the industry standard polarizers because of their extraordinary ability to reduce glare and reflections, saturate colors, deepen blue skies, improve contrast & penetrate haze. "Circular" refers not to the shape, but a special design that does not interfere with metering of auto exposure or auto focus systems.

Take the edge off video for a more film-like look. These filters flare highlights, mute colors, and tone down contrast, while retaining rich blacks. Used for styling or mood modifying, Black Frosts subtly enhance a scene without degrading image quality or black saturation.

Schneider Neutral Density (ND) filters are designed to control exposure or depth of field under various lighting conditions without affecting color or contrast. The ND 0.9 features 13% transition (3 exposure stops).

What's in the box:

  • Circular True-Pol
  • a Black Frost 1/2
  • and an ND 0.9
