5.0 out of 5 stars Good filter for foilage and green laser pointers, January 17, 2011

The green 11 filter helps mostly for lightening dark green foilage (brush, grass, etc) against a dark background. It will pass more green and attenuate red/orange and blue tending to darken the sky.

For forensic documentation, alot of glow phosphors are green - such as a spectrum analyzer or tritium tubes. This filter helps to highlight the green emissions from those phosphors against the background. The camera can be changed to B&W mode or left in color depending on the intent of the shot.

With a bulb exposure tracks left by a green laser pointer are highlighted and show up almost as handwriting (with practice this can make unique shots). When using the green pointers for night sky exposures, the green filter aids in showing the beam pointing to a star especially against the dark sky.

This is great for black and white film photography. The green lightens all green in the shot which shows all the the detail but it can make you loose the sky.
