The B+W 72mm KR-1.5 Skylight Filter is a delicate reddish-yellow conversion filter that absorbs violet & some blue plus a minimal amount of green, but it passes yellow & red undiminished; the colour of the light becomes &8220;warmer” by 15 Mired. That is mostly the optimal amount for correcting the light blue cast in the shadows under a blue sky. It also absorbs UV radiation & hence it provides better sharpness. With colour films and/or developing processes that generally yield results that are too &8220;cool, " this filter can be kept on the lens at all times. With this filter, skin tones in particular will be rendered more naturally. ...

Folding rubber lens hoods are very compact & do not take up much room in a photographer's bag. A mattblack groove structure prevents inner reflections & the elastic material provides good protection against jolts. The length & opening angle of Model 900 is matched to standard (50mm) or short zoom lenses. ...

The B+W Neutral Density+2 F-PRO Digital Filter reduces the light by two f-stops (log density 0.6) & is the most popular ND filter in photographic work. It offers many benefits, for instance f/4 instead of f/8 for selective sharpness instead of a great depth of field, or 1/15 s instead of 1/60 s for a flowing & blurred water instead of a frozen movement. It has excellent colour neutrality & is recommended as part of a basic outfit. ...

The B+W Neutral Density+3 F-PRO Digital Filter reduces the light intensity by three f-stops (log density 0.9). It still features very good color neutrality. This ND filter is especially appropriate for use on video cameras when the lens cannot be stopped down sufficiently in great brightness or when a deliberately low depth of field is desired. The filter factor is 8x. ...

The B+W Neutral Density+6 F-PRO Digital Filter reduces the light by six f-stops. With this filter & without changing the f-stop, a shutter speed of 1/60 s is changed to a full second, thus requiring the use of a tripod. Moving water is rendered as blurred & flowing in the photo, & people moving in streets are dissolved in unsharpness or become invisible. Because of its higher transmission in the red beyond 660 nm, this filter brings a slightly warm tone to color photographs. If this effect is undesirable, a B+W UV-/IR-Blocking Filter 486 in front of the neutral density filter (not behind it) remedies that situation. The filter factor is 64x. ...

The B+W 72mm MRC Circular Polariser Filter increases colour saturation & reduces reflections. Circular polarizing filters are made for all cameras with beam splitters in the light paths of their TTL exposure meter & with autofocus lenses. Circular polarization has the same pictorial effect as linear polarization, but allows for proper exposure metering and/or autofocus distance settings. ...

The B+W 72mm MRC Clear UV Haze (010) Filter blocks the invisible UV component of light from the sky, which can cause blur & a blue cast. UV Filters are ideal for photography in high altitudes (in the mountains), by the sea & in regions with very clean air. Because the glass is colourless, colour rendition is not altered, aside from the elimination of the unwanted blue cast, & no increase in exposure is required. That makes a UV Filter very suitable as protection of the front element of the taking lens against dust, s&, sea water spray & the like, & it can be kept on the lens at all times. ...

The B+W 72mm Redhancer (491) Filter, made from didymium glass, is a filter with very special transmission characteristics. Designed to strengthen the reddish components of orange, near red or brown subjects, it is very popular for use in nature & landscape photography. It is particularly effective in conjunction with a polarising filter, controlling a potentially bluish-grey veil & for increasing colour saturation, e.g. to capture fabulously vivid scenery during the colourful autumn season. The use of colour reversal film is recommended, because the automatic correction applied by printers to colour negatives can erroneously interpret the desired effect as a colour cast & reduce it by filtering it out. ...

The B+W 72mm Slim Circular Polariser Filter increases colour saturation & reduces reflections. Circular polarizing filters are made for all cameras with beam splitters in the light paths of their TTL exposure meter & with autofocus lenses. Circular polarization has the same pictorial effect as linear polarization, but allows for proper exposure metering and/or autofocus distance settings. ...

This 72mm UV Filter blocks the invisible UV component of light from the sky, which can cause blur & to which many colour films react with a blue cast. UV Filters are ideal for photography in high altitudes (in the mountains), by the sea & in regions with very clean air. The pictures gain brilliance & disturbing blue casts are avoided. Because the glass is colourless, colour rendition is not altered, aside from the elimination of the unwanted blue cast, & no increase in exposure is required. That makes a UV Filter very suitable as protection of the front element of the taking lens against dust, flying s&, sea water spray & the like, & it can be kept on the lens at all times. ...
