Schneider 6.6x6.6" Classic Soft 1/2 Professional Glass Filter

Bring your photography and cinematography to the next level with the 6.6x6.6" Classic Soft 1/2 Professional Glass Filter. This premium filter is infused with hundreds of Micro-Lenslets, evenly distributed to create a distinctive softening effect. It's perfect for smoothing out blemishes and minimizing wrinkles, while the stronger grades (1 & 2) add a gentle mood to your scene by causing highlights to softly glow.

Crafted with precision, this filter is diamond-cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass. Schneider filters are meticulously ground and polished to achieve precise flatness and plane-parallelism, ensuring an exact parallel relationship between the front and back filter surfaces. To guarantee perfection, each filter is verified by a laser interferometer, checked with a densitometer for consistent density, and tested with a spectrophotometer for optimal light transmission.

The 6.6x6.6" Classic Soft 1/2 Professional Glass Filter is designed to meet the most rigorous demands, whether on set or on location. Many of our filters feature 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 that has a light loss of 4% per surface.

Schneider screw-on filters are equipped with virtually jam-proof brass precision mounting rings. 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 common perception, Schneider filters can be used confidently in front of even the longest lenses. Our filters are diamond-cut from high-quality optical glass, then ground and polished to precise lens-making standards. This ensures unsurpassed clarity, light transmission, and color saturation with absolutely no visible compromise of image quality. Even when stacked, Schneider filters remain the clear choice for use with any lens, providing superior performance and reliability.
