Style Without Compromise. The 4 × 4 Schneider Black Frost 1/2 Water White Filter is designed for scene styling and mood modification. It enhances highlights, mutes colors, softens skin textures, and reduces contrast, all while retaining rich black levels. This combination of effects is especially useful when you’re shooting 16mm and 35mm film, and HD and standard video.

Common Uses. Black Frost filters are commonly used for subtly enhancing scenes without degrading the overall image quality or black saturation. They enable you to capture blacker blacks than other filter types, and the diffusion technology with which they’re constructed keeps your image quality from appearing “heavy-handed.” Unlike similar filters, they don’t produce excessive light scatter or glare.

Schneider Build Quality. This filter is constructed from Water White Glass for optical clarity and sharpness, and Schneider’s Edge Seal protects it from edge-chipping and delamination while helping reduce edge reflections and flare.
