  • Laser-interferometer verified flatness ensures precise parallel surfaces
  • Densitometer and spectrophotometer tested for consistent density and transmission

Professional 4x4 Classic Soft Filter

The Schneider 4x4 Classic Soft #2 Glass Filter is built for professional photographers and cinematographers who require precise optical control. Its Classic Soft technology uses hundreds of Micro-Lenslets distributed across the surface to smooth blemishes and minimize wrinkles. The #2 grade adds a creative mood by making highlights glow softly. This filter delivers consistent precision for demanding image work.

Optical precision and light control

Each filter is diamond cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass ground and polished to exact flatness and plane-parallelism. A laser interferometer verifies the parallel relationship between front and back surfaces for guaranteed perfection. Densitometer checks ensure consistent density while spectrophotometer testing confirms proper light transmission. This ultra-high consistency maintains image integrity across every shot.

Durable construction for long lenses

Schneider filters are engineered for ultra durability to withstand professional handling and extended use. The design works specifically with long lenses, maintaining optical performance at extended focal lengths. The robust glass construction resists wear during frequent mounting and transport. Filter #68-084444 provides reliable performance for daily production environments.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 4x4 Classic Soft #2 glass filter and what step is often missed?

Place the filter in a 4x4 matte box tray with the coated side facing the lens, then secure the tray locks; the step most people skip is verifying the filter sits perfectly flat so the laser-verified plane-parallel surfaces stay aligned.

What maintenance or replacement will the Schneider 4x4 Classic Soft #2 filter need over time?

Clean the water-white optical glass with a microfibre cloth and lens solution when micro-lenslets collect dust or oil; replace the filter only if the diamond-cut edges chip or the glass cracks, as the coating does not degrade.

What limit appears first when using the Classic Soft #2 filter continuously under strong highlights?

The #2 grade causes highlights to glow softly, so the first practical limit is the intensity of that halation becoming too strong for the desired look before any optical degradation occurs.
