Schneider 5.65x5.65" Filter-(Special Order Size) Neutral Density Graduated Hard Edge ND.9

Professional Exposure Control with Schneider Optics

The Schneider 5.65x5.65" Neutral Density Graduated Hard Edge ND.9 Filter is an essential tool for cinematographers and photographers dealing with high-contrast lighting environments. This precision-engineered filter provides a 3-stop light reduction at the top of the frame, tapering off with a distinct hard edge to maintain perfect exposure across the horizon.

Key Features for Cinematic Excellence

• Hard Edge Transition: Ideal for flat horizons, such as seascapes or desert landscapes, where a sharp division between sky and land is required.
• Neutral Density .9: Reduces light by 3 full stops, allowing for better aperture control and preventing blown-out highlights in bright skies.
• Optical Clarity: Manufactured by Schneider to ensure minimal color shift and maximum image sharpness across the entire frame.
• Special Order Size: The 5.65x5.65" square format is designed for professional matte boxes, offering expanded coverage for wide-angle lenses.

Whether shooting on film or digital sensors, this filter helps balance the dynamic range of a scene without sacrificing color fidelity or resolution.
