From the renowned lens and filter manufacturer, Schneider-Kreuznach, comes the innovative Cine Filter Radiant Black, a groundbreaking addition to the diffusion filter category. This filter is a versatile tool, perfect for all aspects of portrait photography, from intimate close-ups to expansive wide-angle shots. The Radiant Black Filter is designed to enhance the beauty of skin tones, delivering a level of detail and richness that is truly exceptional. It offers superior contrast control, ensuring that your images have depth and dimension. Moreover, it preserves the integrity of rich blacks in your shots, preventing them from appearing washed out or faded.
One of the standout features of this filter is its ability to prevent unwanted haze, ensuring that your images remain clear and sharp. Available in both 4x 5.65" and 6.6 x 6.6" sizes, and in five strengths (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2), the Radiant Black Filter offers a level of customization that meets the needs of both professional photographers and hobbyists. It is also available as a screw-in filter in M77, M82, and M95 sizes in 1/2 and 1 strengths. Esteemed Director of Photography (DoP) and Coach, Matthias Bolliger, who was the first to shoot a feature film using the Radiant Black Filters, praised their ability to create an analog film look with subtle influences on black levels and overall contrast.
Paired with ISCOsphericals and their vintage coating, these filters were instrumental in creating the "back-to-the-90s" look for the adaptation of the novel "A Man of His Class". The Schneider-Kreuznach Cine Filter Radiant Black is a must-have for filmmakers and photographers seeking a high-quality diffusion filter solution. It's not just a filter, it's a tool for transforming your visual storytelling.
