Product Description

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, these filters can also be used as a creative tool in color imaging. Yellow 8 This medium yellow filter offers the most correct tonal range contrast to produce natural clouds against blue skies. Yellow 12 "Minus blue" cuts haze in aerial work; reduces excess blue of full moon in astrophotography. Recommended as a basic filter for use with Kodak Aero Ektachrome Infrared film. Yellow 15 Enhances landscapes, marine scenes and aerial photography with more dramatic effects than Yellow 8.

Tiffen is made in the USA! Good stuff. Purists may disagree! For the Pix I take it's plenty good enough. Just right for enhancing some black and white shots I wanted.

CC20Y = 20 Color Correction units. Often used to make color corrections to transparency film, that comes out Blue after being processed. Can be used separately or with other warming filters to improve shin tones on people, as ,most people look pasty white when photographed. Another use for CC20Y is with black and white film. For example, if the subject being photographed is yellow, when using the correction filter, the yellow portion in the image will be slightly lighter or less muddy looking.
