Schneider 4x4" White Frost # 2, Diffusion & Contrast Reducing Professional Glass Filter

Bring a touch of cinematic elegance to your photography and videography with the Schneider 4x4" White Frost #2 Diffusion & Contrast Reducing Professional Glass Filter. This high-quality, professional-grade filter is designed to subtly enhance your images by flaring highlights and gently toning down contrast without compromising image resolution or color fidelity.

Crafted from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, each Schneider filter is meticulously diamond cut and then ground and polished to achieve precise flatness and plane-parallelism. This ensures that the filter maintains the integrity of your image while providing a soft, natural look. The rigorous quality control process includes verification by a laser interferometer and testing with a densitometer and spectrophotometer to guarantee consistent density and optimal light transmission.

Schneider's commitment to excellence means that cinematographers and photographers can interchange filters during a shoot with confidence, knowing there will be no variation in color or effect. The filters' unparalleled purity and color saturation also minimize the need for post-production color correction, saving time and maintaining the original vision of the scene.

Durability is a hallmark of Schneider filters, which are built to withstand the demands of both studio and field use. Many filters feature a hard anti-reflective (AR) coating that resists flaking, peeling, and scratching. This coating also reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface, a significant improvement over untreated glass. Schneider's precision mounting rings, made from brass to prevent jamming, and the unique Edge Seal on unmounted laminated filters protect against delamination and edge chipping while also reducing edge reflection and flare.

Dispelling the myth that filters should not be used with long lenses, Schneider filters are engineered to the highest standards, ensuring that they can be confidently used with any lens, regardless of focal length. The superior quality control, high-grade glass, and expert grinding and polishing techniques mean that even when used with long lenses, there is no visible degradation of image quality.

In summary, the Schneider 4x4" White Frost #2 Diffusion & Contrast Reducing Professional Glass Filter is a versatile, effective, and durable choice for professionals seeking to create a soft, flattering light in their images. It stands as a testament to Schneider's legacy of producing high-quality, reliable photographic tools that meet the exacting standards of industry professionals.
