The Heliopan 105mm #22 Orange Filter is a basic contrast filter, primarily for use with black and white film, that strongly darkens blues and greens, increases overall contrast, and is often used for outdoor photography to emphasize contrast and shadows. It is also well-suited for decreasing atmospheric haze when photographing with long lenses and to smooth skin tones for portraiture. There is an approximate 4x filter factor with this filter, requiring an increase of 2 stops for normal exposure.

The front and rear surfaces of the filter both feature a single anti-reflection coating. Each coating helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, they offer protection to the filter substrate while helping to keep the glass clean for longer than uncoated glass.

This Heliopan filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. It features a brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

A: Both are very good lenses, it is more a matter of personal preference. Sharp, bright, fast, what's not to like about either one? Other than the focal length difference, not much to differentiate the two. If you have the 85, don't get the 105. If you are getting a new lens in this class, get the 105. One could be happy with either one.

Q: 10. Is there a way to put this in manual mode?

A: We are not quite sure what you are referring to by manual mode. If you mean manual focus, there is a physical switch on the lens you can use to toggle between AF and MF. If you are referring to manual aperture control, you must first set the camera to Av or M and configure your control ring to adjust your aperture.
