Schneider 4x4" UV-410 (Haze) Professional Glass Filter

Discover the power of Schneider's UV-410 Professional Glass Filter, a high-performing ultraviolet-blocking filter designed to enhance your photographic experience. This filter is expertly engineered to reduce or eliminate photographic haze prevalent in environments with high concentrations of dust particles, water droplets, and pollution. These conditions, commonly found in mountainous, coastal, and industrial regions, scatter light and produce a bluish cast that can compromise color, contrast, and overall image quality.

The Schneider UV-410 filter combats these issues by filtering out ultraviolet light below 410 nanometers. This action blocks the blue cast, penetrates haze, and allows your film to capture vivid colors and sharper detail, enhancing the quality of your images.

Crafted from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, Schneider filters are diamond cut and polished to a precise flatness and plane-parallelism. This exact parallel relationship between the front and back filter surfaces is verified by a laser interferometer. Each filter is then checked with a densitometer for consistent density and tested with a spectrophotometer for proper light transmission. This meticulous process ensures ultra-high consistency, allowing photographers and cinematographers to swap like filters mid-shoot with no discernible variation in color or effect.

Schneider filters are renowned for their durability, standing up to the most rigorous demands on set or location. Many of our filters feature Schneider's specially formulated hard anti-reflective (AR) coating to resist 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.

Our screw-on filters feature virtually jam-proof brass precision mounting rings, while our unmounted laminated filters are protected against delamination and edge-chipping by Schneider's unique Edge Seal. This innovative feature also reduces edge reflection and edge flare.

Unlike poorly made glass or plastic-resin filters, Schneider filters can be used confidently in front of even the longest lenses without image degradation. This is due to our stringent quality control, high-quality glass, and superior glass grinding and polishing techniques. Experience the difference with Schneider's UV-410 Professional Glass Filter.
