68-041756

This is a Neutral Density Filter used for Cinematography. It has a Neutral Density of 1.5 (5 stops) and therefore reduces transmission by 97%. A common use for this filter is to allow the use of larger apertures, reducing depth of field, to allow selective focus and rack focus.

Schneider Neutral Density (ND) filters are designed to control exposure or depth of field under various lighting conditions without affecting color or contrast.

Schneider Optics filters have numerous applications

They permit the use of high-speed film (i.e. Kodak 5298) in bright lighting conditions
They diminish distracting backgrounds in a scene by permitting the use of wider apertures to reduce depth of field as required to throw the background out of focus while maintaining focus on the subject
They allow you to control the amount of light reaching the film without relying solely on the lens aperture
Graduated Schneider ND filters enable you to evenly expose an unbalanced lighting situation
