Schneider 4 x 5.65″ Circular True-Pol Filter

The Schneider 4 x 5.65" Circular True-Pol Filter from Lightbulb Rentals is an essential tool for cine applications, specifically designed to minimize reflections and glare. By polarizing light that has become polarized due to reflection from non-metallic surfaces, this filter enhances color saturation in skies and foliage while improving overall image clarity in hazy conditions.

Unlike traditional linear polarizing filters, the Circular True-Pol is particularly suited for cine use with cameras that incorporate polarizing elements in their viewing systems, such as the Arriflex 435 and MovieCam Compact. It prevents viewfinder blackout, ensuring smooth operation during filming.

Manufactured with precision, the filter consists of polarizing film and a 1/4-wave retarder plate laminated between two sheets of clear water-white optical glass. An Edge Seal process is employed to protect against edge chipping and delamination, while also reducing flare and edge reflections, thereby maintaining high optical quality.
