Schneider 4x4" DigiCon # 2, Highlight & Shadow Contrast Control Professional Glass Filter

Let the 4x4" DigiCon #2, Highlight & Shadow Contrast Control Professional Glass Filter transform your photography and cinematography experience. This high-quality filter is designed to enhance the dynamic range of your images by raising black levels while simultaneously lowering highlights. When used in conjunction with in-camera gamma settings or post-production techniques, it allows for the capture of more detail in both highlight and shadow areas, without any loss of resolution or image softening.

The DigiCon #2 filter is meticulously crafted from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, diamond cut for precision. Each Schneider filter is ground and polished to achieve exact flatness and plane-parallelism, ensuring a perfect parallel relationship between the front and back filter surfaces. This precision is verified by a laser interferometer for absolute perfection.

Each filter is then tested with a densitometer for consistent density and a spectrophotometer for optimal light transmission. This rigorous quality control process ensures ultra-high consistency, allowing cinematographers to interchange filters 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.

Schneider filters are designed to withstand the most demanding conditions on set or on location. They feature a specially formulated hard anti-reflective (AR) coating that resists 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.

The 4x4" DigiCon #2 filter features a virtually jam-proof brass precision mounting ring for screw-on filters, 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 confidently in front of long length lenses without any degradation of the image. 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.
