3 circular polarizer c-pol Increases color saturation and contrast by reducing reflections from non-metallic surfaces and by cutting through haze. Deepens sky color. Generally requires through-the-lens viewing. ALSO AVAILABLE: thin ring version to avoid vignetting with wide angle lenses. circular polarizer ultraviolet skylight ultraviolet uv Improves contrast and color saturation by reducing the effects of ultraviolet light and atmospheric dust and haze in sunny landscapes, including mountain, marine and aerial scenes. Can be used in combination with polarizer for stunning scenics, or to protect the front lens element from dirt, fingerprints, and scratches. skylight 1a Eliminates unpleasant bluish tint caused by reflected blue sky light and ultraviolet rays in sunny outdoor photography. Can be used at all times to protect the front surface of any lens from dirt, fingerprints, and scratches. the essentials for color or black and white 3

4 close-up +1 Sold as set of three (+1, +2 and +4 values), this series extends the close focus capability of most lenses for stunning close-ups. +1 version offers modest close-focus extension. With the focusing scale of a 35mm camera s normal lens set at 39" (1meter), the image area covered is about 7"x10.5". Actual distance to subject is about 18". close-up +2 Closer focusing range than +1. With the focusing scale of a 35mm camera s normal lens set at 39" (1 meter), the image area covered is about 4"x6". Actual distance to subject is about 12.5". Any Close-Up in set may be combined with others for greater closeup capability. Close-Ups do not require additional exposure compensation. close-up +4 Closest focusing range using a single closeup filter. With the focusing scale of a 35mm camera s normal lens set at 39" (1meter), the image area covered is about 2.5"x4". Actual distance to subject is about 7.5".

5 neutral density nd2x Series reduces light transmission in controlled amounts, without changing color balance. Allows slower exposure speeds, or larger lens apertures, used to enhance motion, or to separate foreground subjects from confusing backgrounds. ND2x version allows a one-stop exposure increase (½ light is transmitted to film). neutral density nd4x For a two-stop exposure increase (¼ light is transmitted to film). Recommend use of a tripod for slow shutter speeds. neutral density nd8x For a three-stop exposure increase (⅛ light is transmitted to film). Recommend use of a tripod for slow shutter speeds. close-up and exposure correction for color or black and white close-up series neutral density series 5

6 warming 81a, 81b 81A balances type B-tungsten (3200 K) films for 3400 K light sources, eliminating the slight warm cast. With daylight-type films, it balances the cooling effect of overcast skies or shade, and of some strobes. 81B offers slightly warmer effect, or balances type A or type B film to clear flashbulbs. warming 85a, 85b 85A matches type A (3400 K) films, and 85B matches type B-tungsten (3200 K) films to daylight, eliminating the strong bluish cast of unfiltered film. 6

7 cooling 80a, 80b Series matches daylight-type films to incandescent light sources, eliminating the strong reddish cast of unfiltered film. Use the 80A version under 3200 K light sources, and the 80B version under 3400 K light sources. cooling 82a Balances type A (3400 K) films for use under tungsten (3200 K) lights. Also reduces the effect of early morning or late afternoon warm sunlight on daylight-type films, and excessive warmth of household incandescent lights on type B-tungsten (3200 K) films. fluorescent f-dl Balances daylight-type films for use under many types of fluorescent, vapor, and other non-continuous spectrum light sources, eliminating or reducing the unpleasant greenish cast. May be combined with warming or cooling filters to offer further correction under certain lighting situations. color balance and conversion to match color films to light source warming series cooling series fluorescent 7

14 light source conversion and balancing to match light to color film To determine which color balance or conversion filter to use, align a straight edge across scale A (original light source) and scale C (film being used or desired light value).the point where the straight edge crosses scale B will indicate which correction filter is needed. EXAMPLE: If you are shooting type B (tungsten) film in daylight, align your straight edge at daylight (5500 K) on scale A, and at type B film (3200 K) on scale C. On scale B you will see that you need an 85B filter for a neutralbalanced image on film. 14
