Schneider 4x4" Coral # 2, Warm Color Balancing Professional Glass Filter

Experience the transformative power of the Schneider 4x4" Coral #2 Warm Color Balancing Professional Glass Filter, meticulously crafted to enhance your photographic endeavors. This high-quality, professional-grade filter is an essential tool for photographers seeking to infuse warmth into their images, particularly under cool lighting conditions such as overcast skies or open shade environments.

The Schneider Coral filters are renowned for their versatility, allowing you to achieve a consistent color balance across varying light situations. Whether you're aiming to maintain a uniform warmth throughout a day-long shoot or to simulate the golden hues of a sunset or dawn, this filter offers effective and precise color correction. Its ability to under-correct scenes adds a layer of creative control, enabling you to produce an intentionally blue, dramatic atmosphere.

Constructed from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, the Schneider 4x4" Coral #2 filter is diamond cut, then ground and polished to ensure an exacting degree of flatness and plane-parallelism. This meticulous process, verified by laser interferometry, guarantees that each filter meets the highest standards of clarity and precision. The rigorous quality control extends to density consistency and light transmission accuracy, ensuring that cinematographers can interchange filters without any noticeable variation in color or effect.

Schneider's commitment to excellence is further demonstrated by their proprietary hard anti-reflective (AR) coating. This durable coating not only resists flaking, peeling, and scratching but also significantly reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface. This is a stark contrast to untreated glass, which typically experiences a light loss of 4% per surface. The result is a filter that delivers unprecedented purity and color saturation, minimizing the need for post-production color timing correction.

The Schneider 4x4" Coral #2 filter is designed to withstand the rigors of both studio and on-location shoots. For photographers and cinematographers who have been hesitant to use filters with long lenses due to concerns over image degradation, Schneider filters dispel these worries. Their exceptional manufacturing standards ensure that even when used with long focal length lenses, the image quality remains pristine and unmarred by the common issues associated with inferior filters.

In summary, the Schneider 4x4" Coral #2 Warm Color Balancing Professional Glass Filter is a durable, versatile, and effective solution for photographers and cinematographers who demand the best in color balancing technology. Its ability to warm up cool-toned shots and create dramatic effects, combined with its unparalleled construction and coating, makes it an indispensable asset for producing visually stunning, professional-quality images.
