Work as described

The filter besides matching its description, is of sound quality construction. It will no doubt perform as intended, and will last for years. Looking forward to using it in the field.

Consistent tone and clean glass threads on nicely and seems to be well made

From the time of their introduction to the market, panchromatic emulsions have been know to retain some of the sensitivity to blue light than the human eye does. Modern emulsions are better, but still benefit visually with the use of a Wratten #8, a.k.a. K2 yellow filter. Being a throwback stubbornly devoted to film, my lenses always have a #8 aboard, whenever I’m making black and white images, unless other contrast control filters are needed for specific circumstances.

I can’t say I have done any technical comparisons between the actual bandwidth of filters manufacturers, but have used Tiffen filters for years, with no problems. My only minor gripe is they use aluminum instead of brass rims, which can lead to more frequent jamming, unless extra care is used when installing them. In a perfect world, they would use brass for their rims, and maintain their price point. And my car would start reliably at temperatures below freezing...

Users should always keep a filter wrench in their kit when using these. I also treat my filter’s threads with a VERY LIGHT film of synthetic lubricant like SuperLube or Syl-Glide.

Avoid lithium grease for all photographic equipment! It’s reactive with most of the alloys used in our precious gear, and degrades into a hard cheesy mess over time.

Anyway, Tiffen filters have never disappointed, and are a fine choice, compared to the pricier brands. Of course, ULF users probably could care less, but still—

Great for landscapes or cityscapes with big skys

Realy changes your black and white photos. You must try it the best, + 1 stop when you use it. All your sky s will be wonderful.

I use my Tiffen #8 Yellow filter for pgotography with black-and-white film to correct its over-sensitivity to blue light, as in the sky. Tiffen is my favorite brand of filters.

I use this for B&W photography and it works as advertised. I haven't used any other yellow filters on this particular camera (so I cannot make a comparison between brands), but this is a great value.

An orange or darker yellow filter might be slightly better for cloud photos, but thats nothing a little touch up in post cant fix. Beautiful!

Fits well to my Schneider 90mm lens. I also use this filter with a couple of step down rings for other camera system lens. Really good quality.
