sandro Posted May 25, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 25, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) As part of a wonderful gift of Leitz/Leica equipment I received a nice box with A36 filters. Included are alo the adapters SOOTF to use the screw-in filters on clamp-on lenses, and the adapter SOOEY to use A36 screw-in filters on E39 lenses. One of the filters is a clamp-on yellow filter, the others are screw-in A36 filters. They are a set of yellow, orange, red, blue and UV, which I have permanently on the Summitar 2/50mm. One of the filters puzzles me, it is a green/clear filter that can be rotated like a polaroid filter. Can an yone explain to me how this filter should be used? Shooting on film I can't show any pictures of the box right now. Thanks in advance, Lex Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted May 25, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Isn't it a graduated filter like this ? http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/244370-fiopy/?hl=filter&do=findComment&comment=2810421 (this one is Yellow, but also the green version exists) Edited May 25, 2015 by luigi bertolotti Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted May 25, 2015 Yes Luigi, you are right, it is a graduated filter. It has a red dot to mark the clear part and a white dot to mark the green part. So is it indeed meant to tuse specifically for the part that you like to highten the contrast for? Has anyone used such filters? Lex Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 25, 2015 Share #4 Posted May 25, 2015 http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/244370-fiopy/ Just a few threads down. All these filters are not very rare, the boxes are less often seen. The use of the green graduated filter is a bit of a mystery to me as well. Maybe to balance the sky for Orthochromatic film? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
