Schneider 4x4" Amber Solid Color # 3, Candlelight Simulation Professional Glass Filter

Explore the transformative power of the 4x4" Amber Solid Color #3, Candlelight Simulation Professional Glass Filter. Expertly designed to emulate the warm, inviting glow of candlelight or a firelit scene, this filter is a must-have tool for professional photographers and cinematographers.

Crafted with precision, each Schneider filter is diamond-cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass. The filters are meticulously ground and polished to achieve precise flatness and plane-parallelism, ensuring an exact parallel relationship between the front and back filter surfaces. This meticulous process is verified by a laser interferometer, guaranteeing perfection in every piece.

The Schneider filters are also tested with a densitometer for consistent density and a spectrophotometer for optimal light transmission. This rigorous quality control process ensures ultra-high consistency, allowing for seamless filter swaps mid-shoot without any discernible variation in color or effect.

The unparalleled purity, color saturation, and repeatability of Schneider filters virtually eliminate the need for lab color timing correction, making them an invaluable asset on set or location. These filters are designed to withstand the most demanding conditions, featuring Schneider's specially formulated hard anti-reflective (AR) coating to resist flaking, peeling, and scratching.

This proprietary AR coating also reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface, a significant improvement over untreated glass that has a light loss of 4% per surface. Schneider's screw-on filters are equipped with 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.

Contrary to common perception, Schneider filters can be used in front of even the longest lenses without compromising image quality. These filters are diamond-cut from high-quality optical glass, then ground and polished to precise lens-making standards. They offer unsurpassed clarity, light transmission, and color saturation, with absolutely no visible compromise of image quality. Even when stacked, Schneider filters remain the clear choice for use with any lens, making them an indispensable tool for professional photography and cinematography.
