Schneider 4x4" Black Frost # 2, Skin Texture Softening Professional Glass Filter

Are you seeking a professional-grade filter that enhances your photography with a fine "black" mist effect, similar to Black SupaFrost & Black Promist The 4x4" Black Frost #2 Skin Texture Softening Professional Glass Filter is your ideal solution. This filter subtly softens skin texture, flares highlights, and tones down contrast while maintaining black levels, delivering an unparalleled visual experience.

Crafted from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, this Schneider filter is diamond cut, then ground and polished to achieve precise flatness and plane-parallelism. This meticulous process ensures an exact parallel relationship between the front and back filter surfaces. The filter's perfection is verified by a laser interferometer, guaranteeing the highest quality.

The 4x4" Black Frost #2 filter is checked with a densitometer for consistent density and tested with a spectrophotometer for optimal light transmission. This ultra-high consistency allows cinematographers to interchange similar filters mid-shoot without any discernible variation in color or effect. The unprecedented purity, color saturation, and repeatability of Schneider filters virtually eliminate the need for lab color timing correction.

Designed to withstand the most rigorous demands on set or location, Schneider filters feature a specially formulated hard anti-reflective (AR) coating. This proprietary coating resists flaking, peeling, and scratching, while reducing light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface. This is a significant improvement compared to untreated glass, which has a light loss of 4% per surface.

Schneider screw-on filters are equipped with 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 among photographers and cinematographers, Schneider filters can be used in front of even the longest lenses without compromising image quality. This is due to the high-quality optical glass and precise lens-making standards employed in their manufacture. Schneider filters offer unsurpassed clarity, light transmission, and color saturation, making them the clear choice for any lens, even when stacked.
