A 138mm Light Yellow #6 Filter from Tiffen is used for a slight increase in contrast with black and white films. Although not as strong as a traditional Yellow #8, it can still be used to make a difference in your photography. You'll find it boosts your contrast just enough to make the difference between a black and white print flat appears "flat" and one that displays the proper correction.

Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced through a process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminum rings.

For Black & White Film    Not Quite As Strong As a Yellow #8    Black Aluminum Filter Ring    ColorCore Glass    Made in the USA    10-Year Warranty

Especially useful for added contrast between blue sky with clouds and foreground

Tiffen's ColorCore glass is sealed between two optical glass sheets. In this way, Tiffen can better control the various densities of their filters and thereby create more exact degrees of filtration. This process makes for greater accuracy of color as opposed to glass that is simply dyed and become subject to deviation during the dye process

Tiffen, a leader in the filter industry, proudly makes its filters in the USA and backs up its products with a solid 10-year warranty

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use this filter with original lens shades? EF 70-200 2.8 & EF 24-105 for example.

A: Yes. The Tiffen 77mm ND 1.2 Filter does not interfere with the use of the manufacturer's lens hood.

Q: 2. How thick is this filter?

A: The Tiffen 4 x 4 ND 0.6 Filter is 4mm thick.

Q: 3. Hi!Can the 0.9 and 0.6 Tiffen ND filters be stacked with the B+W ND filters and circular polarizer filters?Additionally, since this Tiffen filter does not have any form of coating on it, what are the effects of that?Thank you!

A: As long as the B+W filters in question have 52mm filter threads on the front of the filter, you would ba able to attach the Tiffen 52mm 0.6 Neutral Density Filter and the Tiffen 52mm 0.9 Neutral Density Filter to the front of the filter. The main issue that may arise from the filter not having coatings would be the chance of obtaining more internal flare or glare from using the filter. However, as such, I would recommend using your lens hood to reduce the occurrence of glare or flare.
