>William Robb
Ooops. that should be "Y-44" filter. Here's from the B&H site:
"Hoya 77mm Yellow #Y44 f/Black & White Film HMC (Hoya Multi-Coated)
Glass Filter: (special order, $44.95)
A light yellow filter commonly used for a slight increase in contrast
with black and white films. Especially useful for clear contrast
between blue sky with clouds and foreground. It is also suitable for
landscapes and nature scenes. Multicoated to minimize reflection at
the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting."
Ok, so that's what a Y-44 filter does for B&W film. Now, does it do
anything for color slide or color print film? Is there some thought
that this would be useful for full-time usage on an SMC 200/2.5 for
correcting color in general?
