Become a master of light and color with the 4x4" Gold #3 Soft Edge Graduated Color Professional Glass Filter. This high-quality filter is designed to provide an overall warming effect, enhancing healthy skin tones and accentuating the vibrancy of foliage in your images.

Crafted from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, each 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, a critical factor in delivering superior image quality.

Each filter undergoes rigorous testing with a laser interferometer to verify perfection, a densitometer to ensure consistent density, and a spectrophotometer to confirm optimal light transmission. This level of ultra-high consistency allows cinematographers to switch 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, saving you time and effort in post-production.

Designed to withstand the most demanding conditions 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 over untreated glass, which typically experiences a light loss of 4% per surface.

Schneider's screw-on filters are equipped with virtually jam-proof brass precision mounting rings for easy and secure attachment. Unmounted Schneider laminated filters are protected against delamination and edge-chipping by Schneider's unique Edge Seal, which also minimizes edge reflection and edge flare.

Contrary to the common perception that filters should not be used with long length lenses, Schneider filters are designed to deliver exceptional performance even with the longest lenses. This is due to the high-quality glass and superior grinding and polishing techniques used in their manufacture.

With Schneider's 4x4" Gold #3 Soft Edge Graduated Color Professional Glass Filter, you can capture stunning, color-rich images without compromising on image quality.
