Schneider Optics 4 x 4" Linear True-Pol Polarizing Filter

This is by far the most effective polarizer for motion picture and television cameras.

Having an extinction ratio of ER 374, the Schneider 4x4 True-Pol Polarizer is 12- times more effective than other polarizing filters, and is unmatched in its ability to:

• Reduce glare and unwanted reflections
• Saturate colors
• Deepen blue skies
• Improve contrast
• Penetrate haze

True-Pol Polarizing filters enable you to achieve a level of optical performance previously unavailable to cinematographers.

The polarizing film in a Schneider True-Pol filter is laminated between two pieces of Schneiderﾒs crystal-clear, water-white optical glass. The filter is protected against edge-chipping and delamination by Schneiderﾒs unique Edge Seal, which also effectively reduces edge-reflections and flare. The absolute clarity of the glass combined with advanced polarizing material make True-Pol filters particularly effective on demanding scenes, as when shooting through windshields in rigged-cars. On such shots, Directors of Photography have found that Schneider True-Pol filters capture more color saturation, wider tonal range and much more contrast inside the car. Like all filters in the Schneider line, True-Pol filters are precision polished to the highest possible standards, meeting the most demanding specifications for optical flatness.
