Discover the Schneider-Kreuznach Cine Filter Radiant Black, a revolutionary addition to the diffusion filter category. This versatile filter is designed to enhance every aspect of portrait photography, from intimate close-ups to expansive wide-angle shots. It's expertly crafted to accentuate beautiful skin tones, offer superior contrast control, maintain deep, rich blacks, and eliminate unwanted haze, ensuring your images are always stunning. The Radiant Black Filter comes in two sizes, 4x 5.65" and 6.6 x 6.6", and is available in five different strengths (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2), allowing you to customize your photography experience.
Additionally, it's offered as a screw-in filter in M77, M82, and M95 sizes in 1/2 and 1 strengths, providing even more flexibility for your creative needs. 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 unique capabilities. He noted that Schneider-Kreuznach's Radiant Black glass filters are soft-focus filters that employ colored "sparkles" within the filter glass. This innovative feature creates an authentic analog film look while subtly influencing black levels and overall contrast.
When paired with ISCOsphericals and their vintage coating, these filters were instrumental in creating the distinctive "back-to-the-90s" aesthetic for the adaptation of the novel "A Man of His Class". The Schneider-Kreuznach Cine Filter Radiant Black is now available for filmmakers and photographers seeking a high-quality diffusion filter solution. It promises to deliver exceptional results, transforming your visual storytelling with its superior design and performance.
