Schneider 4x5.65" Neutral Density Graduated Filter - Vertical Soft Edge ND1.2 product description
Professional Exposure Control with Schneider-Kreuznach
The Schneider 4x5.65" Neutral Density Graduated Filter (ND1.2) is an essential tool for cinematographers and photographers looking to master high-contrast lighting. Featuring a vertical soft-edge transition, this filter provides a 4-stop reduction at its densest point, tapering off to clear glass. This design allows for a natural blend between bright skies and darker foregrounds, ensuring a balanced exposure across the entire frame.
Optimized for Wide and Medium Lenses
Unlike hard-edge filters, the soft-edge gradient is specifically engineered for use with short to medium focal length lenses. The wider transition zone makes the filter line virtually invisible, even in scenes without a perfectly flat horizon. This makes it the preferred choice for landscape and architectural shots where a subtle, professional look is required.
- Balanced Exposure: Prevents blown-out highlights in sky scenes while maintaining detail in the shadows.
- Color Neutrality: Maintains accurate color reproduction without unwanted shifts or tints.
- Durable Construction: Crafted from premium optical glass for long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
