Tiffen Black and White 3 Filter Kit the Ultimate for Contrast Control

Tiffen Light Yellow #6 Filter

• The Tiffen Light Yellow #6 Filter brings an air of subtle contrast to black and white films. Not as intense as a Yellow #8, the filter still provides a reliable boost in contrast to bringing prints to life. The filter excels at producing corrections needed to generate a vivid black-and-white print.
• Crafted with great precision, two pieces of optical glass are ground to 0.0001-inch tolerance, then laminated with filter material and placed in aluminum rings. Especially effective for contrasting blue sky and clouds against the foreground, Tiffen utilizes ColorCore glass between two sheets of optical glass to guarantee accurate hues and shades. This method is superior to dyeing glass due to its lack of irregularities.

Tiffen #13 Green Filter

• The Tiffen #13 Green Filter is an invaluable aid for controlling contrasts on black and white film, darkening skies and brightening foliage. It is commonly used in portraiture for greater distinction between skin tones and outdoor backgrounds. In comparison with the #11 yellow-green filter, the #13 provides a more efficient lightening of green subjects. When using this filter, a photographer must apply a 1-stop increase to their exposure settings due to the filter factor of 2x.
• Manufacturing of Tiffen filters is carefully conducted using ColorCore technology, a process that entails interlaying the filter between two pieces of optical glass, grinding the assembly to an accuracy of 0.0001 inches, and then locking it into precision metal rings.
