Product Description

Product Description

SKYLIGHT 1B reduces the excessive bluishness that frequently occurs in outdoor color photography, especially in open shade under a clear, blue sky. The absorption peak is in the range, which corresponds to the film's green spectrum. This means outstanding outdoor shots with superb color balance and clarity under all conditions. Also keeps skin tones free of colored reflections from nearby objects such as the shade of trees.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great filter, June 6, 2008

This is another high quality filter by Hoya. Besides filtering out UV light, a Skylight filter can also counter the excessive blue color of sky in a sunny day and produce a warmer tone. This filter can also be left on permanently for use as lens protection.

1.0 out of 5 stars skylite or ND filter?, August 13, 2008

By	John H. Hill Jr. "[e-mail]" (anaheim,ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I got it I looked through it and i thought I was imagining something-it looked kinda dark. Sure enough, i put it on the camera and it was a 1/2 stop darker than without it. geesh. I bought to protect lens.

try a uv filter or one of those expensive Ultra Clear filters. good luck
