About this deal

A tungsten conversion 85B filter converts the light in a way that tungsten film, like CinbeStill 800T, can be used outdoors. 85B being "Full Tungsten Conversion (FTC)" is perfect for this time of the year where sunlight is often reduced outside. The exposure prolonging factor is 2X.

So under lights, full ASA speed and no filter, correct colour balance for 3200*K Outdoors fit a Wratten 85B amber filter, or maybe a Wratten 85BN3 which incorporated neutral density as well as enabling daylight balance of 5500*K. No need to change from tungsten film to daylight film, and colours matched perfectly in either situation. Exposure accuracy was extremely critical as there was no safety net as is the case with today's low con negs. Without using one of these filters, your image will have a greenish tint if you’re shooting under fluorescent lighting. However, these filters won’t always produce the effect you expect. On occasion, the light balance of colour film can be improperly matched to a light source. When this happens, the colours in the image won't match those of the original scene- this is where conversion filters are needed.

The different types of filters and what they do

Otherwise, the tint is hardly noticeable in a typical image. The UV filter is clear and reduces the excessive blue in haze, marine, and mountain scenes without adding tint. Light Balancing Filters: As for using no filter and color correcting in the lab, my personal view has always been to correct in the camera. You might ask Why? Well --- The energized light carrying an image from a scene to the receiver when measured with a Kelvin temperature meter, is a mean average. Conversion filters correct the mean averages, but some points of light are warmer than the average and some points of light are colder. It is these slight color variations that give "LIFE" to color pictures. A lens filter is unlikely to reduce the sharpness of your photograph. However, if the material used to make the lens filter is cheap, it may reduce the contrast and overall image quality. A lens filter can also reduce the sharpness of a photograph if it is not properly placed on a lens. As a result, while lens filters do not reduce sharpness, they do provide a valuable tool for photography. Do Lens Filters Make A Difference? First, let me say, that now as in the past, science had been unable to manufacture a variable "RECEIVER', be it film, tape, television, pixels, etc. All color receivers manufactured to capture visual images are each color balanced for "ONE" Kelvin temperature. The one for which it was designed. Filters made from glass and resin are the best choices for best results. Step-up and Step-down are the two steps. As a result, always wear step-up rings rather than rings, which can cause vignetting and other issues. The Different Effects Of Colored Filters On Photographs

Once you make the decision to use filters, you’ll find there are several general categories of filters available. ( Note: All of the camera filters explained comments below are based on using daylight film in the camera, unless specifically mentioned otherwise.)Control color by attenuating principally the red, green, or blue part of the spectrum. Can be used to make changes in the color balance of images recorded on color films, or compensate for deficiencies in the spectral quality of a light source. Filter No. As a general rule, a contrast filter will lighten its own color and darken its complementary color. Refer to the chart below to see how the main contrast filters affect various tonalities in a scene. Contrast Filter

I came to the conclusion that the visual look of a correction filter was not necessarily an indication of it's ability to do it's job ... For example, Canon calls the UV filter a “Regular” filter; Nikon designates it as a L37C filter. The two filters don’t absorb any light, so there’s no impact on your exposure values. There are some differences, however. The Sky filter has a slight tint to it, so it does help reduce some of the blue tint that you may get when photographing in shaded areas. The use of filters in cinematography and photography has grown in popularity. They can be useful in extremely bright lighting conditions to capture scenery, in addition to improving colors and reducing reflections, or they can simply be used to protect lenses. In this article, I will explain how to use various types of filters, what they do, when they do, and what they do when not used. The shapes and forms of lenses filters can be viewed in the graphic below. The most common lens filters are screw-on filters that mount directly into the threaded end of a lens’s filter thread. Because their cleaning power is greater, it is preferable to have a clear filter on my lenses at all times. Polarizing filters are necessary when shooting waterfalls, as well as other wet scenery. After doing a test of filters a number of years ago, I'm not so sure it's that important that our 85's match perfectly. Many people believe the more glass you put in front of your lens, the greater the degradation of your image will be. To some extent this is true, but the extent of degradation depends on the quality of the filter, the quality of the lens, and how much you’re enlarging the image.

My Experiments with Filters and Black and White Photography

I did a filter test where I would shoot a scene with say an 85 on one half of the 35mm still frame, with the other half covered. (Actually using a Cokin split frame attachment.) I would then spin this device around and expose the other half of the frame with a filter that I wanted to compare to the first filter. Even though I was using regular still color negative film and having the prints made at a one hour photo shop, I could still make a valid comparison because both sides of the print had received the same printing exposure and development. Even though film emulsions were all over the lot, in those early days the industry needed to convert tungsten films to daylight. The first conversion filter was a #83. (A medium orange color).
