For classic Old-Hollywood close-ups, with image quality for the New-Hollywood.
Schneider has developed a subtle and effective softening filter that can be used freely without fear of compromising the high quality of modern lenses.
Schneider Classic Soft filters are made possible by state-of-the-art optical technology, and a proprietary Schneider manufacturing technique that produces a Micro-Lensletâ„¢ array. This filter blends small wrinkles and blemishes while maintaining overall sharp focus that conceals the fact that a softening filter was used.
In the normal range of exposure, this filter imparts only a closely confined, very subtle glow to highlights. If large amounts of overexposure exist in a scene, like a "blown" window, Classic Soft filters add a stylish glow that keep the scene's contrast under control, while adding a romantic look.
This filter is available in strengths of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, and 3. These strengths achieve a range from subtle to heavy diffusion.
The Schneider Classic Soft 1/2 Filter produces a classic
Old-Hollywood close-up look, with image quality for current Hollywood
needs. Would you like to achieve the same tonality as an old image of
Cary Grant or Marlene Dietrich?
Hundreds of Micro-Lenslets
arrayed within each Schneider Classic Soft filter provide a precisely
controlled soft image that is overlaid on a sharp, in-focus image. This
combination diffuses the image while maintaining overall sharp
focus. Schneider calls this Schneider In-focus Diffusion. The number of
Micro-Lenslets per square inch determines the image blending
effectiveness of each Classic Soft filter.
Note! Classic Soft filters are available in strengths from 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 2-with 2 having the greatest effect

"When shooting a multi-camera
series you are consistently cutting back and forth between cameras. I never
worry about matching because I always have Schneider filters on each
lens."
