About this item

This 49mm #550/040 Orange MRC Basic Filter from B+W can be used to increase image contrast using black-and-white film. When using this filter, green, blue, and violet-colored subjects are reproduced in darker shades of gray than if a filter was not used. Simultaneously, yellow, orange, and red subjects are rendered in lighter shades of gray. Landscape and architectural photos show an increased, almost graphic contrast, while a cloudy sky may already appear dramatic. When shooting landscapes, shades of green foliage can be more differentiated, and this filter can also minimize the haze caused by the bluish cast of daylight. When used for shooting portraits, the appearance of freckles and skin blemishes will be reduced.
