77mm RADIANT SOFT 1 - NEW IN BOX
Product Highlights
The Schneider 77mm Radiant Soft 1 Filter can be applied to purposely reduce the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles while a glowing effect is applied to skin tones. An array of small, two-dimensional particles distributed within the surface of this filter smooths fine lines and textures, which can be useful for creating a more flattering result of a subject.
This filter has a grade of 1. Grades of 1/4, 1/2, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase. The small particles within a Radiant Soft filter are optimized to effectively maintain existing contrast and highlights even while higher grade numbers are used.
The Radiant Soft series expands Schneider’s diffusion filter line, bringing cinematographers and photographers the ability to give their subject’s skin a radiant, soft glow, while still having control over the contrast, as well as controlling the highlights with very little blooming effect.
From the Schneider MPTV Filter engineers:“Radiant Soft filters are the result of an intense study of how the internal component of the filter will affect the resulting image. We have formulated a very special laminate which utilizes geometric two-dimensional (planar) particles which are carefully classified to yield the most flattering result. The Radiant Soft filters have the effect of toning down skin imperfections while having a limited effect on contrast or highlights. Planar particle selection is the key to avoiding the undesired result of a diffusion filter that assaults contrast and over-blooms highlights."
Radiant Soft filters are available in 7 strengths are also available in 4x4, 4x5.65 and 6.6x6.6 sizes.
TIP HOW TO PROLONGING THE LIFE OF YOUR FILTERS
Filters, like all crafted optics, are susceptible not only to breakage, but to premature aging caused by environmental factors. Most filters are made up of several layers of materials consisting of glass, dyes, optical cements, chemical compounds, particles etc. Even with protective measures employed, there are many factors that can still affect the longevity of the filter: moisture (prolonged exposure to humidity), excessive heat and excessive light are the most common environmental causes that can affect the filter’s chemistry over time.
To
protect your filters and keep them in great working condition for a
long time (along with the rest of your camera gear) we recommend making
sure to keep the filters stored in a dark, cool, and dry place when not
in use. The use of filter pouches or specialized cases will also keep
your filters safe from breakage when not in use. If you are in a humid
environment, the addition of fresh silica gel packs or a dehumidifier in
the room they are stored is also highly recommended. Protecting your
filters as you would your camera lenses will ensure many years of use of
your filters.
What do you recommend cleaning filters with?
Hand
blower first, if it's just light dust,that usually handles it. If you
need to clean further, a Kim Wipe sprayed with Tiffen/Pancro Lens
Cleaner, work in a circular motion from the middle out.
