Product Description

Size: 52mm

Filters for black and white photography perform a variety of filtration effects including contrast control, enhanced skin tones, tonal corrections and more dramatic landscapes. Although originally intended for use with black and white film, this filter can also be used as a creative tool in color imaging. Create dramatic sky effects, emphasizing cloud contrast for landscapes. Simulate a moonlit scene at midday with slight underexposure. Use with infrared film to yield extreme contrast with skies, turn foliage white and cut through fog and haze.

I had initially bought this for infra-red photography, but I use this filter all the time for regular black & white photography with excellent results. It really enhances your image if it contains blue sky and/or clouds. Another plus: it comes in a nice, sturdy carrying case, which is very handy.

This filter is primarily for b/w photography, although you could use it for color with a rather obvious and unusual effect.

The lens works by filtering some of the blue from your photo. This means that for cloudy sky, and some vegetation and architecture shots you will see greater contrast. There are more or less intense red filters available depending on the degree of effect you want.
