Neutral Density Filters

These filters reduce light transmission uniformly over the visible region of the spectrum, in definitive steps. Although used mainly in colour photography for reducing light levels without colour change, they can also be used for black and white photography. They are particularly useful for compensating for too much light, in circumstances where changing the shutter speed, aperture or film type is not possible or desirable. For example, exposure time can be increased to achieve special effects when photographing running water and waterfalls etc., without adjusting the aperture. In addition, depth of field can be reduced by increasing the aperture by the stop value of the filter used. For example, if the aperture is required to be f4 yet correct exposure is at f8 and the speed cannot be changed, a 0.6ND will allow the setting of the f4 aperture.

Flourescent Correction Filters

This system offers filter solutions to many fluorescent correction problems. Both colour temperature conversion and green absorption functions are combined into one filter; the filter used will depend on the fluorescent light and film type.

Colour Compensating Filters

 

A range of filters recommended for use either in front of or behind the lens. They control the spectrum by reducing the transmission at specific wavelengths. They are primarily used to colour balance films, the required filter being determined as a result of tests, or as specified by the manufacturer. They can also be useful for correcting light sources for which no one conversion filter exists, or for adding a deliberate colour bias.

The values shown are approximate exposure increases to compensate for the filters used.

Technical Sets

Description
Filters Included
$74.00/ea.
$ 56.00/ea.
Colour Temperature
A set of four filters used to make major corrections to the colour temperature of light entering the camera. They create a balance between the colour temperature of the light source and the CT requirements of the film, so avoiding colour casts of the finished image.
85B, 85C, 80C, 80A

Fine Colour Temperature
This set enables minor colour temperature corrections to be made, and is usually used for fine adjustment of colour temperature, creating a warm or cool feeling on the image.
81D, 81A, 82A, 82C

Warm Up
Four filters used to add warmth to portraits and landscapes. The degree of warmth increases across the range of the filters.
81, 81B, 81D, 85C

Daylight Flourescent
Camera filters for use when shooting under fluorescent lighting conditions with daylight film, together with a selection of lighting filters to be placed over the flashlight (if used) to balance the flashlight. All the light entering the camera, including that from the flashgun, must be given the same spectral output as the fluorescent, to allow perfect correction by the camera filter.
FLD3600, FLD4300, FLD5700

Tungsten Flourescent
Three camera filters for shooting under fluorescent lighting with tungsten film, together with a selection of lighting filters to place over a flash gun. The reasons for use are as described in the daylight fluorescent section.
FLB3600, FLB4300, FLB5700

Neutral Density
These three filters adjust exposure without affecting colour balance and can be used with all standard film types. Exposure can be increased by 1, 2 or 3 stops to suit individual requirements.
0.3, 0.6, 0.9

Black and White
A quartet of filters which all absorb varying degrees of the blue and blue-green parts of the spectrum, creating different tones and contrasts of skies and foliage on black and white film. They can also be used to create special effects.
8, 11, 21, 23A

Magenta
Five CC Magenta Filters which are used to absorb the green cast which can be found when photographing under fluorescent conditions. Using more than one filter at a time achieves greater absorption. These filters can additionally be used in conjunction with colour temperature filters to achieve an exact colour balance on film.
CC05M, CC10M, CC20M, CC25M, CC30M

Soft
The Soft Set consists of five filters, each offering a subtly different degree of diffusion for use in portraiture and landscape photography. The soft effect is virtually independent of aperture or focal length variations, and the degree of softening increases progressively through the range.
SOFT 1-5
