The Kodak 100 x 300mm #16 Yellow-Orange Filter is a general contrast filter, primarily for use with black and white film. This yellow-orange filter noticeably darkens skies, helps to cut through haze, and improves overall contrast. When compared to the yellow #8 and #15 filters, the #16 creates a greater separation between clouds and sky and further lightens yellows and reds within the scene.

The #16 filter has a filter factor of 4 and requires a 2 stop increase in exposure for normal results. Wratten 2 filters are constructed from gelatin for ease of use and consistent performance. When compared to original Wratten filters, Wratten 2 filters are more rigid and durable, easier to handle, and less sensitive to humidity, static cling, and fingerprints.

A: I use this lens on an em1, and am thrilled with its performance. It is sometimes underrated vis a vis the longer,more expensive Panasonic, but don't let that deter you; this is a great lens at a great price.

Q: 10. How is the 200mm sharpness on this lens compared to the 50-200 II (not f2.8), but the shorter version of this (100-300) lens?

A: I just recently rented both lenses and I find find them both to be very sharp. I used them both on my GX8 and they rented GX9. I love the size of the 100-300 and the auto focus and success rate of keepers seems equal to the 50-200. The 50-200mm may be the sharpest lens I've ever used. I am still deciding between the compact size and value of the 100 – 300; the sharpness of the 50 – 200mm and the reach of the 100-400.
