A fine black mist flairs highlights, tones down contrast, while retaining rich blacks. Black Frost® filters give a “filmic look” to High Definition images. Depending on the strength, they subtly enhance a scene without fear of image degradation or reduction of black saturation.
Black Frost® filters provide a subtle diffusion effect and an overall softness of the image, while still allowing to control shadows and to capture rich blacks. With thousands of carbon particles in dedicated sizes, the filters introduce precise amounts of light diffusion while controlling stray light and flare.
For unique image styling. Black Frost® creates an almost airbrushed look. A fine black mist flairs highlights, tones down contrast while retaining rich blacks.
Diffusion filters soften the image of today's high-res shots and create a pleasant filmic look, without defocusing the scene. Schneider-Kreuznach offer four different types of diffusion filters, each creating its own, unique effect
Most of the modern cine lenses produce high-res shots that show everything – every wrinkle, every pore. Diffusion filters smoothen fine details and add a subtle glow to highlights without making sacrifices to the overall sharpness of the image.
Schneider-Kreuznach offers four types of diffusion filters. Classic Soft® filters create a precisely controlled softness that is overlaid on a sharp, in-focus image. Black Frost® flairs highlights and tones down contrast while retaining rich blacks. Hollywood Black Magic® combines both: It is the specialist for a pleasant filmic look and produces a constant smooth halation while maintaining rich blacks and colors. Radiant Soft® is Schneider-Kreuznach's skin enhancer that tones down imperfections and gives skin a soft glow.
All Schneider-Kreuznach Diffusion Filters are available in different strengths, given that both the focal length and the F-Stop affect the level of diffusion. Generally speaking, the longer the focal length and the more light on the subject the stronger is the effect of the filters.
