ABOUT SCHNEIDER

Schneider Optics is the U.S. subsidiary 
of the world-renowned German optical 
manufacturer, Schneider-Kreuznach. Schneider 
has been producing the highest quality optics 
on the market for over 90 years, offering 
solutions for large-format photography, photo 
enlarging, motion picture projection, optical 
filtration, and industrial applications. In 2000, 
Schneider Optics acquired Century Precision 
Optics, adding its over 50 years experience 
manufacturing superior attachments for film 
and video.

Schneider Optics has offices in Hauppauge, NY 
and Van Nuys, CA and a network of hundreds 
of dealers around the globe, ready to assist you 
with any of your imaging needs.

Joseph Schneider founded the company in 
1913 in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. Since that 
time the Schneider factory has been constantly 
modernized, always remaining state-of-the-art. 

Schneider Cinema Projection Lens technology has 
won four Technical Achievement Awards from the 
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

The factory is fully compliant with ISO 9001 
standards. Its U.S. subsidiary, Schneider Optics, 
was founded in 1972. 

Century Optics first opened its doors 
in North Hollywood, CA in 1948, and 
quickly gained a reputation for expert lens 
repair, custom modification and intelligent 
innovation. In the early 80’s Century 
began creating what has become the most 
extensive array of ultra-high quality video 
lens accessories available anywhere.

Separately the two companies were leaders 
in their respective spheres of the optical 
world—both having been awarded Technical 
Achievement Awards from the Academy of 
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Schneider 
in 2005, 2001, 1978 and 1976; Century 
in 1992). Together they are the ultimate 
solution to all your optical needs.
