The Series 9 Tiffen #11 Green Filter for Series 9from Tiffen #11 Green Filter for Series 9is a filter designed to build contrast in black and white photography. When using this filter for portraiture in the outdoors it will lighten skin tones and have better separation between the subject and the background. Shooting landscape photos will help darken skies and lighten and show more detail in the foliage. The filter has a filter factor of 4, so to compensate you must increase the exposure by two stops.

Tiffen filters are not dyed, but are manufactured by using ColorCore technology. This process laminates the filter material between two pieces of optical glass and grinds down and polishes the glass. The glass is then mounted to the metal ring, which after that can be screwed onto the lens for the desired effect.

Q: 6. Hi there! I was wondering if this type of filter could be used to decrease a bayer sensor's sensitivity to green light--while still balancing the camera to a proper white balance--resulting in a more filmic appearance in image quality. would this work, and what would you recommend? Thanks so much for any thoughts you might have!!

A: The Tiffen Series 9 1 Cranberry Solid Color Filter would certainly decrease the overall appearance of green in an image, but it would also effect the rest of the color spectrum also, creating a slight (or not-so-slight) cranberry color cast, depending on the scene.
