Description

The Schneider Optics Round 102mm True-Pol Filter is a professional-grade circular polarizer engineered to provide superior glare reduction and color saturation for demanding photography, cinematography, and broadcast applications. Featuring an exceptional extinction ratio of ER 374, this filter is 12 times more effective than standard polarizing filters, making it unmatched in its ability to reduce unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as glass and water while deepening blue skies and improving overall image contrast. The True-Pol construction laminates advanced polarizing film between two pieces of Schneider's crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, protected by a unique Edge Seal that prevents edge-chipping and delamination while reducing edge-reflections and flare. Designed specifically for cameras with complex optical blocks or those requiring circular rather than linear polarizers, this 102mm circular filter prevents viewfinder blackout and cross-polarization issues common with standard polarizers on modern autofocus and high-definition cameras. The filter incorporates a two-layer design where the first layer provides the polarizing effect and the second layer features a 1/4-wave retarder plate to effectively eliminate cross-polarization in beam-splitter viewing systems. Precision-polished to the highest optical flatness standards, this filter maintains exceptional clarity and sharpness while delivering approximately 1.6 stops of light reduction. The included Schneider soft pouch provides secure storage and safe transport between productions. Read more

About the Schneider Round 102MM True-Pol Filter in Schneider Pouch

The Schneider Round 102mm True-Pol Filter is a premium, cinema-grade optical modifier engineered to control glare, suppress reflections, and saturate colors in professional film and video production. Constructed from water-white optical glass, this filter incorporates a high-efficiency polarizing film laminated between two layers of glass to deliver outstanding sharpness and color neutrality with no unwanted green or warm color shifts. When mounted onto a compatible cinema lens or matte box ring, it allows cinematographers to dramatically reduce distracting reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water, glass, and wet pavement, while simultaneously deepening blue skies and cutting through atmospheric haze. As a linear polarizer, it offers the maximum possible polarization efficiency available, making it an essential on-set tool for capturing rich, high-contrast imagery directly in-camera.

This professional optical accessory comes packaged inside an authentic Schneider soft pouch, providing vital protection and safe storage when the filter is unmounted. The pouch features a padded, non-abrasive interior lining that prevents surface scuffs, scratches, and dust accumulation during fast-paced equipment changes on set. Designed with a round 102mm profile, this large-diameter filter is specifically built to handle heavy-duty broadcast lenses, vintage cinema glass, and specialized matte box filter rings. By integrating this high-end polarizing element into a camera package, operators can effectively control highlights and enhance natural color saturation, significantly reducing the time needed for extensive digital color correction and artifact removal in post-production.
