Green filters: not popular?

Like others have stated, I find that green filters are pretty much useless at least for my preferred subjects. (Photo from a Q2 Mono, but you get the idea. No filter.)

When I started this thread in July, I ordered online (german store) two orange filters (43/46mm) and a green one. Paid right away. The quickly cancelled the order for the green filter and yesterday I cancelled the rest as it was still in back order.

You can always ask Heliopan. They made a custom filter for me before.

I was looking for green filters a month or so ago - i've always wanted to try making tri-chromes on film and was assembling the filters for it. I always use B+W but couldn't find them, or heliopan etc. I eventually did find a green #58 tiffen filter as mentioned earlier in this thread. I haven't bought a tiffen filter in a while and they're nicer than i remember, the ring might be actual brass now. The old ones I used to get were always aluminum and bound up all the time.

I found a few other brands too but they were all some sort of nebulous inconsistent "green" color - not Green #58.

These were available in the US via Amazon and B&H.

Hmm. My green filters for various M mount lenses: 

39mm - Leica Grn (bought new)
40.5mm - Heliopan X1 (Pentax-L 43 and M-Rokkor 90)
46mm - Hoya Pro X1 
Series 7 - Leica Grn (bought used) ('72 Summilux 35)
55mm - Hoya Pro X1 (R-mount 60, 100, 135, 180)

I bought all of these between April 2022 and January 2023. No drama: I just ordered them from B&H or Ebay, they showed up on the usual mail order timetable.
