Schneider 4x4" Amber # 3, Soft Edge Graduated Color Professional Glass Filter

Bring the warm glow of candlelight or the ambiance of a firelit scene to your photography with the 4x4" Amber #3 Soft Edge Graduated Color Professional Glass Filter. Crafted with the meticulous precision synonymous with Schneider, this filter is diamond cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, ensuring the highest level of clarity and quality.

Each filter undergoes a rigorous process of grinding and polishing to achieve precise flatness and plane-parallelism, a critical factor in maintaining image sharpness and fidelity. The meticulous attention to detail continues as each filter is verified with a laser interferometer and checked with a densitometer for consistent density, ensuring uniformity across your work.

Schneider's commitment to excellence means that cinematographers and photographers can interchange filters without any variation in color or effect, a testament to the ultra-high consistency of these professional-grade filters. The unparalleled purity, color saturation, and repeatability of Schneider filters not only enhance the visual impact of your images but also significantly reduce the need for post-production color correction.

Built to withstand the demands of both studio and field environments, Schneider filters are treated with a specially formulated hard anti-reflective (AR) coating. This innovative coating resists flaking, peeling, and scratching while minimizing light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface-far superior to the 4% light loss typical of untreated glass.

Schneider's precision mounting rings, crafted from virtually jam-proof brass, ensure a secure and seamless attachment to your equipment. For unmounted filters, Schneider's unique Edge Seal protects against delamination and edge-chipping, while also reducing unwanted edge reflection and flare.

Dispelling the myth that filters compromise image quality when used with long lenses, Schneider filters maintain impeccable image integrity. Even when faced with the critically short depth of field of long lenses, these filters deliver outstanding performance. The high-quality optical glass, expertly diamond-cut, ground, and polished, guarantees that even when stacked, Schneider filters provide exceptional clarity, light transmission, and color saturation without compromising image quality.

In summary, the 4x4" Amber #3 Soft Edge Graduated Color Professional Glass Filter is a versatile and effective tool for photographers and cinematographers seeking to enhance their visual narrative with a touch of warmth and graduated color, all while maintaining the highest standards of image quality and consistency.
