Schneider 4x5.65" Classic Soft 1/2

Professional In-Focus Diffusion

The Schneider 4x5.65" Classic Soft 1/2 filter is engineered to provide a subtle, effective softening effect that enhances your cinematography without compromising lens quality. Unlike traditional diffusion filters that can muddy the image, this filter utilizes Schneider-Kreuznach’s proprietary In-focus Diffusion technology to maintain a sharp base image while adding a delicate layer of softness.

Advanced Micro-Lenslet Technology

The secret behind the Classic Soft series lies in hundreds of precisely arrayed Micro-Lenslets. These lenslets create a controlled soft image that is overlaid onto the sharp, in-focus primary image. This unique design allows you to diffuse fine details and skin imperfections while keeping the overall focus crisp and professional.

Cinematic Highlight and Contrast Control

In standard lighting, the Classic Soft 1/2 imparts a very subtle glow to highlights. When faced with high-contrast scenes or over-exposed elements like windows, the filter adds a stylish, romantic glow that keeps contrast under control. It is the ideal choice for filmmakers looking to achieve a timeless, cinematic look on modern digital sensors.
