Do you know what you are really buying?

By Stuart W. Singer and Jim Sullivan

Technical data sheets for optical lenses are not standardized, allowing vendors to present data in any way they choose, potentially leading to misleading claims and preventing fair comparisons. Generic terms like MTF often lack clarity about what they measure and how they're calculated, leaving buyers to decipher. Even when specifications are governed by standards such as ISO or DIN, they're often poorly understood and leave significant leeway.

Filter benefits

A number of unique features set Schneider-Kreuznach optical filters apart from other filters on the market. One of the most important features is the consistently high transmission without transmission fluctuations. The filters open quickly to provide maximum light output while blocking unwanted wavelengths. In addition, the tolerance is less than 1% and all filters are inspected and controlled to ensure they meet the highest quality standards.
