Filters
In general or many specialized photo-
graphic fields, filters are essential to the
effective rendition of photographic sub-
jects. Whether in black and white or
color, filters are necessary additions to
most camera systems. In controlling
contrast and eliminating unwanted haze
in black and white photography, the use
of the correct filter often means the
difference between a good photograph
and a great one. In color, where the
balancing of the light with the film
emulsion is absolutely necessary for cor-
rect color, conversion and light balanc-
ing filters are the only effective way of
achieving the desired results.
* Be careful not to use two filters simul-
taneously in order to avoid uninten-
tional cut in the periphery of a photo-
graph.
Lens Hoods
Lens hoods protect against extraneous
light striking the lens and causing un-
wanted glare. Hoods for standard lenses
are cover types and can be reversed to
provide easy storage even when the cam-
era is in the case.

Description
Similar to UV filter. Eliminates ultraviolet rays. Reduces haze and bluish tones in daylight
photography. Effective with color film only. May be used at all times to protect the lens.
Eliminates undesirable ultraviolet rays which cause dull, flat pictures. Renders subject in
clear, detailed brilliance.
May be used at all times to protect the lens.
Reduces the quantity of light entering the lens to 1/2 or 1/4 of the original intensity. For
use in extremely bright conditions when you wish to maintain a wide aperture.
Enables you to take pictures through glass or water without reflections. Will darken the
sky in black-and-white photographs without altering other color values in the picture, and
renders blue skies darker when used with color film. Reflections are reduced to provide
better texture surface detail.
Accentuates contrast, darkens blue skies. Very effective in daylight scenes where the sky is
part of subject matter. Heightens the effect of white clouds. Useful in copying documents
where line copy is blue or black on light background.
Absorbs a wider range of wavelengths from UV to dark green than the Y2. Makes a superb
rendition of the texture of outdoors subjects, and indoors. It brings out detail in objects
yellow, brown. Used with infrared film.
Used as contrast filter to create darkened sky or in copying. Also used to penetrate haze
in landscape photography for stronger contrast than an O2 filter. Used with infrared film.
For use when taking color pictures in cloudy or rainy weather. Reduces bluish tone.
Designed for use when taking color pictures in early morning or late evening hours when
red rays are predominant.
