The Schneider 4x5.65 True-Net Beige 2 Filteris designed to purposely create a net diffusion effect within an entire scene or image. Embedded inside this filter's glass is a beige-colored stocking material that softens focus and reduces glare, which can be useful for creating a more flattering image of a subject or scene. The stocking material's color can add a warm, beige hue to the entire scene or image while reducing contrast. By applying the Schneider 4 x 5.65" True-Net Beige 2 Filter instead of pulling a stocking directly over a lens, the desired net diffusion effect can be consistently and reliably obtained by eliminating the risk of overstretching or tearing the stocking material in use.

When the respective film type or white balance setting that corresponds to the primary light source is selected, those combined diffusion, contrast, and color effects can be obtained while this filter is used on a film camera system or on a digital camera system. Film cameras with black-and-white film installed or digital cameras configured to record monochromatic footage or imagery can utilize the Schneider 4 x 5.65" True-Net Beige 2 Filter's diffusion and contrast effects only.

This filter has a grade of 2. A grade of 1 is also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately half as strong.

Schneider True-Net Black Filters that can help maintain a scene's existing color balance and contrast are also separately available. Schneider True-Net Gray Filters that can help maintain a scene's existing color balance but with a reduction of contrast are also separately available.

Q: 1. Can the filter take off from a mounted version to fit into Revar Cine Rota Tray? How the filter is fixed to the ring?
