The Schneider 4 x 5.65" True-Net Beige 1 Filter is 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 1 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 1 Filter's diffusion and contrast effects only.

This filter has a grade of 1. A grade of 2 is also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice 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. The image you show for 4X5.65 looks like 4X4 since it is a square. Is 4X5.65 coming for sure if I order?

A: I agree that the image looks square, but I can assure you the filter we will send you is 4x5.65 I cross referenced the Mfr# with Schneider to make sure.

Q: 2. How does it compare to B+W Vario ND 1-5? What is the front size? B+W's front size is designed at 86mm for less vignette. Even so, I did find vigenette at 24mm on my 24-105 lens. How about the color shifting? B+W is shifting green on 1-3 stops.

A: The front filter thread of this filter is 82mm. Most filters will begin to vignette to some degree at 24mm. Color shift is nearly always present when using variable ND filters, but how much varies between filters.

Q: 5. The overview for this Variable ND filter states that the effect is achieved by "...stacking highly neutral gray polarizing filters..." If so, will this filter also work as a good polarizing filter? I need a polarizer + ND filter for waterfall photography, so I was wondering whether a separate polarizing filter is needed in combination with this filter.

A: The Schneider True-Match Vari-ND MKII Variable Neutral Density Filter (82mm) does not act as a Polarizing Filter. A separate Polarizing Filter is necessary to get the Polarizing effect.
