Schneider-Kreuznach introduces the new Cine Filter Radiant BlackTM in the diffusion filter category. This filter is the ultimate filter for all facets of portrait takes, from intimate close-ups to wide-angle shots. It brings out exquisite skin tones, provides excellent contrast control, preserves rich blacks and prevents unwanted haze. The filter Radiant BlackTM is available in 4×5.65″ and 6.6×6.6″ sizes, each in five strengths (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2), and as a screw-in filter in M77, M82 and M95 sizes in 1/2 and 1 strengths for customization. After being the first DoP to shoot a feature film with the Radiant BlackTM Filters, Matthias Bolliger, well-known DoP & Coach, about the Radiant BlackTM Filters: “Schneider-Kreuznach’s new Radiant BlackTM glass filters are soft-focus filters that use colored “sparkles” in the filter glass to create an analog film look while subtly influencing black levels and overall contrast. Combined with the ISCOsphericals and their vintage coating, they defined our “back-to-the-90s” look and visually transformed the adaptation of the novel “A Man of His Class”. The Radiant Black FilterTM is now available and promises outstanding results for all filmmakers and photographers looking for a high-quality diffusion filter solution.
