Diamond cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, Schneider filters are ground and polished to a precise flatness and planeparallelism (exact parallel relationship between front and back filter surfaces). Then, to ensure perfection, this is verified by a laser interferometer. Schneider filters are then checked with a densitometer for consistent density, and tested with a spectrophotometer for proper light transmission. It's due to this ultra-high consistency, that allows cinematographers to swap like filters mid-shoot with no discernible variation in color or effect.

Schneider filters stand up to the most rigorous demands on set or location. They feature Schneider's specially formulated hard anti-reflective (AR) coating to resist flaking, peeling and scratching. This proprietary coating also reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface, compared to untreated glass that has a light loss of 4% per surface. Schneider screw-in filters feature virtually jam-proof brass precision mounting rings, while unmounted Schneider laminated filters are protected against delamination and edge-chipping by Schneider's unique Edge Seal, which also reduces edge reflection and edge flare.

The common perception among photographers and cinematographer's is that filters should not be used in front of long length lenses, due to the critically short depth of field of these lenses. This belief is often confirmed when poorly made glass or "plasticresin" filters are placed in front of a long lens, and the degradation of the image is visible simply by looking through the viewfinder. This degradation is caused by poor quality control, low-quality glass and poor glass grinding and polishing techniques used in the manufacture of such filters. Schneider filters have no such problems, and can be used in front of even the longest lens. Diamond-cut from high-quality optical glass, then ground and polished to precise lens-making standards, Schneider filters offer unsurpassed clarity, light transmission and color saturation with absolutely no visible compromise of image quality. Even when stacked, they are the clear choice for use with any lens.

Q: 1. How many stops of light do you lose? Thanks.

A: Nikon does not list the light loss while using the Nikon C-PL460 Slip-In Circular Polarizer. But most are are around 1-2 stops depending on the rotation and direction of the sun.

Q: 2. Hi,can this filter fix in AF-S Nikkor 500mm F4E FL ED VR ?thks

A: Yes this filter is compatible with the AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/4E FL ED VR lens.

Q: 3. Will the Nikon 2221 slip in filter work with the 400mm S lens?

A: No, the Nikon 40.5mm Drop-in Circular Polarizing Filter MFR 2221 ( https://bhpho.to/3J8jCvk ) is not compatible with the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens. The Nikon C-PL460 Slip-In Circular Polarizer is compatible with the 400m S lens.

Q: 4. I would like to thread on a ND filter onto this drop-in cpl, is that possible? what size ND filter do I need?

A: The Nikon 52mm Circular Polarizer (C-PL3L) Glass Filter - Drop-In does not allow for the polarizing filter to come off and to be changed with another filter or to add to it.

Q: 5. Hi just wondering if when using this filter on a 4.5mm wide angle B4 ENG lens, weather you get any vignetting when fully wide as wanting to put in in the front tray of my Croszniel matte box not the rotating back one. Based on filter being 4 x 5.65 sizing as mentioned above?

A: The diameter of the filter is 4.5. If this is a larger diameter than the front element of the lens you own, you should be good.

Q: 6. Can this filter be used with Nikkor 180-400mm f/4?

A: Yes, this can be used with the AF-S NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR lens.

Q: 7. How do I rotate the Nikon C-PL 460 Slip-In Circular Polarizer? to adjust to get rid of glare?

A: The Nikon C-PL460 Slip-In Circular Polarizer has a dial/gear on the top that rotates the filter.

Q: 8. Can the actual circular filter be removed and replaced with another filter ?

A: No, the filter in the Sony Drop-In Circular Polarizing Filter for Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens cannot be removed and replaced.

Q: 9. There is no variable nd filter that works the same way for this lens ?

A: Unfortunately, there are no variable ND filters that drop in for the Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens.

Q: 10. Do you have 5 stop and a 10 stop ND filters that will screw in to these drop in filter holders?

A: The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens came with a drop in filter holder and a clear filter. You can remove the clear filter from your original holder and use any 40,5mm filter in the holder instead such as this 5 stop ND: https://bhpho.to/4al5eNO
