The Hollywood Black Magic is Schneider Optics’ latest development in professional diffusion filters for high definition digital cameras. Building on the success of the HD Classic Soft filters with their Micro-lenslet design and the Black Frost filters using Black Micropore technology, Schneider has developed a new line of diffusion filters that combines the best attributes of both.
Hollywood Black Magic filters remove unsightly blemishes and wrinkles while providing a smooth transition in the highlights. These new filters are available in five strengths from 1/8 to 2. The shooter can select from a wide range of diffusion choices from subtly diminishing the “video edge” to removing years off the age of a person. Pleasant softening of bright highlights helps control the exposure while maintaining rich blacks and colors.
New Hollywood Black Magic filters are available in popular professional rectangular sizes for HD, DV, and video as well as screw-on sizes for professional DSLR photography.
