Schneider 6.6x6.6" Classic Soft 1/4 Professional Glass Filter

A Schneider 6.6x6.6" Classic Soft 1/4 Professional Glass Filter is an indispensable tool for professional photographers and cinematographers seeking to enhance their imagery. This high-quality filter is embedded with hundreds of Micro-Lenslets, evenly distributed to create a unique softening effect. This feature aids in smoothing out blemishes and minimizing wrinkles, while the stronger grades (1 & 2) contribute to mood enhancement by causing highlights to glow softly.

Crafted with precision, this durable filter is diamond-cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass. It is meticulously ground and polished to achieve precise flatness and plane-parallelism, ensuring an exact parallel relationship between the front and back filter surfaces. The perfection of this process is verified by a laser interferometer, ensuring consistent density and proper light transmission. This level of ultra-high consistency allows for seamless filter swapping mid-shoot, without any discernible variation in color or effect.

The Schneider 6.6x6.6" Classic Soft 1/4 Professional Glass Filter boasts unprecedented purity, color saturation, and repeatability, virtually eliminating the need for lab color timing correction. It is designed to withstand the most rigorous demands on set or location, featuring 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, a significant improvement over untreated glass.

Whether you're using a screw-on filter with its virtually jam-proof brass precision mounting rings, or an unmounted Schneider laminated filter protected against delamination and edge-chipping by Schneider's unique Edge Seal, you can trust in the superior performance of Schneider filters. Contrary to common perception, these filters can be used in front of even the longest lens without compromising image quality, thanks to their high-quality optical glass and precise lens-making standards. For unsurpassed clarity, light transmission, and color saturation, choose the Schneider 6.6x6.6" Classic Soft 1/4 Professional Glass Filter.
