Schneider 4x4" Sahara Gold, Warming Effect Professional Glass Filter

Enhance your photography with the 4x4" Sahara Gold, Warming Effect Professional Glass Filter by Schneider, a trusted name in the photography industry. This high-quality filter is designed to add a warm, golden tone to your images, mimicking the rich, vintage look of old Technicolor. With approximately 3/4 the color correction value of an #85 filter, it can also serve as a replacement for an #81EF for a cooler aesthetic, while maintaining skin tones more effectively.

Crafted from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, this professional-grade filter is diamond cut, 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, verified by a laser interferometer. The filter is then tested with a densitometer for consistent density and a spectrophotometer for proper light transmission. This level of ultra-high consistency allows photographers and cinematographers to swap like filters mid-shoot without any discernible variation in color or effect.

The Schneider 4x4" Sahara Gold filter is designed to withstand the most rigorous demands on set or location. It features Schneider's specially formulated hard anti-reflective (AR) coating, which resists flaking, peeling, and scratching. This proprietary coating also reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface, a significant improvement over untreated glass, which has a light loss of 4% per surface.

Schneider's precision mounting rings are made from virtually jam-proof brass, ensuring a secure fit for your filter. 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 image degradation. 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.
