4x5.65" Hollywood Black Magic #1 filter

The Schneider Hollywood Black Magic #1 filter measures 4x5.65 inches and is built for professional cinematography and DSLR work. It merges the characteristics of HD Classic Soft and Black Frost designs to give a controllable diffusion effect. The filter targets skin blemishes and wrinkles, producing an airbrushed texture while keeping rich blacks and colours intact.

Replacing lighter diffusion or no filter

This #1 strength sits in the middle of a five-step range that runs from 1/8 to 2, so it upgrades from weaker diffusion when a visible softening of highlights is needed without losing shadow detail. The jump is worth it when a scene demands noticeable highlight roll-off and a gentle skin smoothing that lighter grades cannot deliver. It is not suited for productions that require zero diffusion or the heaviest grade in the series.

Square 4x5.65" matte box format

The filter fits standard 4x5.65 inch matte boxes used in video and cinema workflows, limiting its use to systems that accept that rectangular size. It cannot be mounted directly on circular threaded lens fronts or smaller filter trays without an adapter. The glass construction handles typical studio and location lighting but offers no specialised coating claims beyond the stated highlight and colour behaviour.

Questions about this item

What filter-holder size does the 4x5.65" Hollywood Black Magic #1 require?

It fits any standard 4x5.65 inch matte-box or filter tray used in professional video and cinematography rigs.

How do you install the filter, and what step do users often miss?

Slide the glass into the matte-box slot with the coated side facing the lens, then lock the retaining clips; skipping the clip lock lets the filter shift during focus pulls.

When will the filter need replacement or maintenance?

Replace it if the optical coating shows scratches, delamination or permanent haze that cleaning with a microfibre cloth and lens fluid cannot remove.
