tocB+W Filters, Magnifiers and Digital Filters
Photographic filters for high optical requirements. They are used by professionals as well as amateurs in the fields of photography, video and TV just as successfully as they are used in science and technology. Virtually all the filters are made of Schott glasses and they are available in screw-, bayonet-, slip-on- and series mounts. Special mention should be made of Käsemann-type polarizing filters. High-grade Schneider Magnifiers for all fields of visual control complement the extensive line of B+W Filter products.

tocLenses for Photography, Enlarging and Digital Photography
Absolutely top quality lenses for all tasks in professional photography and image processing. Based on decades of experience in lens manufacture, these lenses have been conceived for applications in 35mm and large format photography and for digital imaging. The first use of aspheric elements in large format lenses of the Super-Symmar-XL line.
Accessories: Centerfilter, Magnifiers and helical mounts.

tocLenses for Motion Picture Projection
Schneider lenses for modern multiplex theaters with large screens and stadium seating satisfy the stringent requirements for imaging quality. All motion picture formats, including Cinemascope films, are supported by lenses with finely stepped focal lengths in the Cinelux class.
-
tocLenses for Digital Projection
The closely stepped fixed focal lengths and the anamorphic systems of the Cine Digitar line are a guarantee for rich contrasts and finely resolved details in projection with digital high-performance projectors. The fields of application of the lenses range from digital movie theaters to front- and rear projection and on to rental & staging applications.

tocHome Cinema
Schneider Cine-Digitar Anamorphic 1.33x Lens brings professional-quality, full-screen Cinemascope® to digital home theatre. It enables 16:9 projectors to create an ultra-sharp 2.35:1 image, utilizing the projector'’s every pixel and eliminating “letterbox” black bars. Schneider also offers two elegantly simple yet rugged motorized solutions for deploying a Cine-Digitar Anamorphic 1.33x Lens: Kino-Linear Lens Slide and Kino-Torsion Mechanism. Schneider Cine-Digitar 0.72x Wide-Angle Converter and 1.1-1.4x Tele-Zoom Converter are the best solution when your DLP or LCD video projector has a lens that is not interchangeable. Designed for easy mounting and use with 4:3, 5:4 and 16:9 projectors, Cine-Digitar Converter Lenses allow a 50% offset with 0.9"chips, and will function perfectly with 1.3"chips, with no offset.
