You don't mean you read up on filters? Better than destroying this thread as well, but there is still time

Include me out, please.

This thread is going the same way as the previous filter thread. Gentlemen, please do not let it progress any further down that route.

Thanks

I asked him to please leave me out of this. And I agreed with him and complimented him in my other post What am I doing wrong?

Sometimes it's best to nod, smile, and walk away. Quietly. A battle for the last word is always fruitless. Shalom, my friends.

In case you are taking a carefully measured landscape, it might be useful to have a look in the data sheet of the film manufacturer, since different films have slightly different spectral sensitivities. [...]

This might seem strange at first, but one particular caution is be certain of the color you wish to filter. I found an occasion where I used a green filter in order to diminish colors other than what I thought were green fir trees, but the foliage color was largely blue! Blue-green, actually. I learned later it was Blue Spruce, called an 'Evergreen' nonetheless.

 

It might be interesting to note how we can confuse colors, depending upon context or other adjacent colors, luminosity.

Hello Pete,

 

In Matheson's "The Leica & Leicaflex Way, 10thEd, 1972, he says a filter factor of 2.5 for Daylight & 3 for Tungsten. He also says it is the same as a Wratten X1 or #11.

 

It's a start.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael
