All Schneider neutral density filters allow you to control the amount of light hitting the sensor without any color shift and independent from the aperture or shutter.
Schneider classic neutral density line offers eight multi-coated filters with highest possible color accuracy. This allows for filter stacking and minimizes color grading time. Their effect reaches from the visible light up in to the near-infrared spectrum.
These filters are truly color-neutral and their filter effect covers the full light spectrum from 350-1,000 nm. Hence, RHOdium® FSND elliminates IR pollution on all sensors without any color cast. This neutral density filter line is designed to meet even the critical color standards of 4K, 6K and 8K resolution cameras. It is available in 10 dedicated one-stop steps.
The graduated version of our RHOdium® FSND filter line allows you to balance the overall exposure of a scene, gaining details in both bright and dark areas. Choose between Hard Edge for long focal length lenses and Soft Edge for short and mid-range ones.
This neutral density filter enables a stepless density setting from 1-1/3 stop to 10 stops. It is made of two stacked and carefully color-matched polarizer filters, combined in a single low-profile cell. TrueMatch Vari-ND® is the perfect choice for cameras with high ISO settings.
The Schneider Group specializes in developing and producing high-Performance lenses for film and photo, cinema projection lenses, as well as industrial optics and precision mechanics. 1913 founded in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, as a mechanical shop for optical lenses, Jos. Schneider Optische Werke GmbH is today a worldwide market leader in high-quality lenses and precision engineering.
Graduated neutral density filters are used to darken an overly bright part of a scene, like a sky, and lighten the foreground. They bring an overly bright part of a scene into the dynamic range of the sensor. Our Rhodium FSND filter (Full Spectrum Neutral Density) attenuate light equally within the wavelength range from 350-1000nm including UV- and near IR-light. This is of particular importance to avoid IR light pollution resulting in unwanted purple and/or violet color artefacts in dark areas of the frame. Additionally, we attach a great emphasis on color consistency to allow easy color grading, all shots, filtered, or unfiltered can be graded in the same way. This is important specifically for the critical color standards of 4K, 6K, and 8K resolution cameras and the short turnaround times in today’s post-production processes.
