Schneider 4x4" LowCon-2000 # 1/8, Contrast Control Professional Glass Filter

Just imagine the power of controlling light and contrast in your photography with the Schneider 4x4" LowCon-2000 # 1/8, a professional-grade contrast control glass filter. This high-quality filter is designed to lower contrast and distribute light into shadow areas, enhancing the depth and detail in your images.

Crafted from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, each Schneider filter is diamond cut 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.

To guarantee perfection, each filter undergoes rigorous testing. A laser interferometer verifies the flatness and plane-parallelism, while a densitometer checks for consistent density. Furthermore, a spectrophotometer tests for optimal light transmission. This stringent quality control process ensures that Schneider filters provide ultra-high consistency, allowing photographers and cinematographers to switch filters mid-shoot without any discernible variation in color or effect.

The exceptional 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 has 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 safeguarded 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, thanks to their superior quality control and high-quality glass, can be used confidently even with the longest lenses. Experience the Schneider difference and elevate your photography with the 4x4" LowCon-2000 # 1/8 contrast control professional glass filter.
