Some tips on buying filters FILTERS Square v. round filters If you’re planning on just using a few filters, say UV, polarising, and the odd warm-up or b+w contrast filter, choose round glass filters. They’re durable and take up a small amount of space in a bag or pocket. If you have several lenses, you can use stepping rings (p10) to adapt different sizes. However, if you like the idea of using lots of filters, and in particular graduated types, a square filter system makes a lot of sense. They are mostly made from optical resin rather than glass - no difference in image quality, but more difficult to handle and rather more prone to scratches - but usually less expensive. General purpose filters UV and Skylight Essential protection, so buy one for each lens. The difference is small but significant. UV filters are colourless, improve contrast and reduce blue casts caused by excess UV light. Skylight filters have a slight warming tint, useful for colour slide photography where a blue cast can be caused by a dull day, electronic flash etc. Polarising Eliminates reflections off most surfaces, enriches colours, especially blue skies (when used at right angles to the prevailing light). The two types have exactly the same effect. LINEAR suits most manual focus cameras (except a few which use a beam splitter for the metering system); CIRCULAR is the correct type for all autofocus cameras. Polarisers lose up to 3 stops of light, depending on the position selected, so you might need a tripod with slow films. Neutral density Help when stuck with a fast film in bright light, or where you deliberately want a long exposure. Available in x2 (1 stop), x4 (2stops), and x8 (3 stops). Filters for colour photography Warm-up filters Available in varying strengths from 81A (the weakest), to 81EF. Reduce blue casts caused by mid-day light, and add a pleasing warmth to many subjects. Try an 81B as a start point. Interior photography As slide film is balanced for ‘middle of the day’ light (5500ºK), tungsten interior light will give an excessively orange look. This is corrected by the use of a deep blue 80A filter, or if using photoflood lamps, an 80B. Fluorescent lamps give a green cast: an FL-W corrects white tubes, FL-D daylight type tubes. 85B for tungsten films used in daylight. All 85 series can be used to give a very warm effect where 81 types are not enough. 82 series (also known as ‘morning and evening’) correct reddish tones when colour temperature falls at the beginning or end of the day. Black and white filters Yellow Essential to give any contrast between clouds and sky. Yellow-Green Theoretically perfect rendition of landscapes, correcting foliage and sky. Orange The recommended for UK skies. Cuts through haze and increases contrast. Subdues freckles on faces, but can render foliage too dark. Red Exaggerates cloudscapes. Dark blue skies become virtually black. Excellent for cutting haze in distant shots. Good for rendering detail in brickwork. Anything green, however, comes out very dark. Green Ideal for predominantly green landscapes. Adds a healthy tanned look to outdoor portraits. Light blue (82C or 38) Good for tungsten light portraits, and will also enhance any outdoor mist or haze. Infra-red b/w You will need at least a Red 25 (e.g. Hoya). Better still is the Red 29 from Heliopan. These still allow a lot of the visible light spectrum through, so to get the classic ‘soot and whitewash’ look with such films as Kodak HIE you will need something like Hoya’s IR72, a Lee 87 or Heliopan RG780, or the Cokin 007 89B filter. 2 Speed Graphic Hoya Hoya is the world’s largest optical glass manufacturer, supplying many leading camera and lens manufacturers with their raw glass. There are two good reasons for choosing Hoya (and why we do not sell ‘anybrand’ filters like your local dealer): � Hoya filters are made only by Hoya, and there is strict batch to batch consistency – unlike other names, who may source from several manufacturers. � Apart from graduated and Softeners, which are acrylic, all Hoya filters are glass! Many cheaper brands use CR39 optical resin which damages more easily. Pro-1 super-multicoated Twelve layers of coating on the UV and Skylight filters enables an average light transmission to 99.7%. The mounts are just 3mm thick, enabling use without vignetting with the widest of wide-angle lenses. Pro-1 Circular Polarisers have 7 layers of coating on the rear surfaces, are 5mm deep, and won’t vignette with an 18mm lens.
