I bought this unmounted 2-stop 4.5" pola to mount in a rota pola frame. Schneider 2 stop circular true polas have the best cut and they wont black out the video taps in arricams. They are the only polas to buy it you work in both film and digital formats.

What sets the Schneider Optics 138MM Circular True-Pol Filter apart is its high-quality, multi-coated design that effectively reduces reflections and enhances the amount of light reaching your camera sensor. This durable and versatile filter is a professional's choice for superior image quality and accurate color representation.
Designed to be used as a circular polarizing filter, it significantly reduces glare and reflections while increasing contrast and saturation. This results in an overall improvement in image quality, making it an indispensable tool for photographers aiming for perfection in their shots.
The Schneider Optics 138MM Circular True-Pol Filter is compatible with standard lens mounts, making it a versatile addition to any photographer's toolkit. It's specifically designed for cameras that use polarizing elements in the beam-splitters of the viewing system, such as the ARRI 435 and the Movie-Cam Compact.
Moreover, this filter is also suitable for high-definition video cameras with complex optical blocks like the Sony PMW-EX1, PMW-EX3, and PDW-700. These cameras tend to polarize the red and blue channels more than other models, necessitating a circular polarizer like the Schneider Optics 138MM Circular True-Pol Filter to prevent cross-polarization and associated color shift in the image.
Crafted by Schneider, a reputable brand synonymous with high-quality optics and filters, this product is trusted by professional photographers worldwide for its performance and reliability. The Schneider Optics 138MM Circular True-Pol Filter is more than just a filter; it's a commitment to quality and precision in photography.
