The Schneider 4x4" DigiCon 1/8 filter is used for a "filmic look" when shooting with digital cameras. When used in front of the lens, it optically raises black levels while lowering highlights.

Combined with in camera gamma settings and/or post production, a higher dynamic range can be recorded

The filters are used in a matte box mounted to the camera and are geared toward digital shooting

The result is more detail in highlight and shadow areas with no loss of resolution or softening of the image

Filter produces no color shift and highlights are clean and halo-free

May be used on a 35mm cine camera to approximate the look of a lower contrast film stock

Q: 1. Can this dome be used alone with effect, i.e., will it soften the light of the bare flash (spread the light and soften shadows) without an additional modifier? Thanks!

A: It'll soften the shadow transitions a bit specially if shooting in smaller spaces with white walls because instead of the light spreading out in 170 degrees it'll spread out 270 degrees (pulled that angle from my sleeve), light will bounce around. I usually use it inside my bigger soft-boxes (i.e. 1'x6') or umbrella (65 ) for a more even light when I need that by spreading more light onto the walls of the soft box or umbrella. It will not necessarily substitute a soft-box. Hope that helps.

Q: 2. Is this glass suitable for the Profoto B10? It is not mentioned in the description.

A: As per Profoto, the front glass on the B10 is only replaceable through their repair center, so this plate will not be compatible.

Q: 3. I want to be prepared to replace my B10 glass when the time comes. However it has 4 little brackets that hold the glass in. It looks tough to remove. Has anyone tried with the B10? Is there instructions somewhere.

A: As stated previously, move the brackets out of the way gingerly, and then remove the glass, install in reverse order.

Q: 6. Any idea how many stops this takes out of the head?

A: What you do is replace current glass with dome, and if I'm not mistaking it's same type of glass where same amount of stops lost. It does create better light, no hot spots creates better light

Q: 7. Will this fit on the new B10 head?

A: No, the glass plate on the B10 is not removeable, just like on the B2.

Q: 8. Will it work with B2 head?

A: Sort-of... It won't fit in the usual way as the cover glass on the B2 is not removable. However you can hold it in place in front of the B2 using the mounting ring of the OCF grid/gel holder. It's not the most secure mounting though - you'd need to be careful about bumping it off - or just add some gaffer tape to keep it in place. This solution does preclude use of the built-in umbrella holder on the B2.

Q: 9. What is the purpose of the three open slots in this glass?

A: To let heat out.

Q: 10. Works with Leica M10 R?

A: Yes it fits the M10R.
