Schneider 4x4" DigiCon # 1/8, Highlight & Shadow Contrast Control Professional Glass Filter

From the renowned brand Schneider comes the 4x4" DigiCon # 1/8, a high-quality, professional-grade Highlight & Shadow Contrast Control Glass Filter. This durable and versatile filter is expertly designed to enhance the dynamic range of your images or videos. It effectively raises black levels while lowering highlights, allowing for more detail in both highlight and shadow areas without any loss of resolution or softening of the image.

This filter is meticulously crafted from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, diamond cut to ensure precision flatness and plane-parallelism. Each filter is rigorously tested with a laser interferometer to verify perfection, checked with a densitometer for consistent density, and examined with a spectrophotometer for optimal light transmission. This stringent quality control process ensures that Schneider filters provide unparalleled purity, color saturation, and repeatability, virtually eliminating the need for lab color timing correction.

The 4x4" DigiCon # 1/8 filter is designed to withstand the most demanding conditions on set or location. It features Schneider's specially formulated hard anti-reflective (AR) coating to resist flaking, peeling, and scratching. This proprietary coating also reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface, compared to untreated glass that has a light loss of 4% per surface.

Schneider's precision mounting rings are made from virtually jam-proof brass, ensuring the filter stays securely in place. 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 degrading the image quality. This is due to the superior quality control, high-quality glass, and advanced glass grinding and polishing techniques used in the manufacture of Schneider filters.

In summary, the 4x4" DigiCon # 1/8, Highlight & Shadow Contrast Control Professional Glass Filter from Schneider is an essential tool for photographers and cinematographers seeking to enhance the contrast and overall quality of their images or videos.
