Schneider 4x4" Gold # 2, Hard Edge Graduated Color Professional Glass Filter

Why settle for less when you can enhance your photography with the 4x4" Gold #2 Hard Edge Graduated Color Professional Glass Filter from Schneider This high-quality filter is designed to provide an overall warming effect, perfect for capturing healthy skin tones and accentuating the vibrancy of foliage.

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. To guarantee perfection, each filter is verified by a laser interferometer, checked with a densitometer for consistent density, and tested with a spectrophotometer for optimal light transmission.

Thanks to this ultra-high consistency, cinematographers can swap like 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.

Built to withstand the most rigorous demands on set or location, this durable filter features Schneider's 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 over untreated glass, which typically has a light loss of 4% per surface.

Schneider's 4x4" Gold #2 Hard Edge Graduated Color Professional Glass Filter also features 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 that filters should not be used in front of long length lenses, Schneider filters, thanks to their superior quality control and high-quality glass, can be used even with the longest lenses without degrading the image quality. Experience the Schneider difference and elevate your photography with this versatile and effective filter.
