Black and white imaging records only tonal differences between colored objects, which appear as black, white, or different shades of gray. Proper rendition depends on your own desires, and, for film, the differences between film sensitivity to colors and that of the eye. The latter is due to the fact that most panchromatic emulsions used are more sensitive to blue, violet and ultraviolet than to other colors. Therefore, blue appears as lighter on film than it does to the eye. This can make a blue-sky light enough to appear a similar shade of light gray as the clouds that are in it, making the clouds "disappear."Deeper colors, further to the red end of the spectrum, such as Orange 16 filter will produce progressively deeper and artificially more dramatic renditions of blue sky.

User Reviews about Tiffen 82mm 16 Filter (Orange)

there are not alot of 82mm out there so i was glad to see this one, great filter works good. -- one of few

Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 IF EX DG HSM AF Standard Zoom Lens for Sony Digital SLR Cameras both the lens and the filter make for excellent pictures! -- helpful companion

I have some expensive B&W filters that are made of higher grade glass and cost more than three times this one. This one looks just as good! Tiffen has my vote. I'm going to save my money and buy these from now on! -- As good as the spendy filters!

for the price it was worth getting just to protect my new sigma lens, used in various lighting with noe big issues. wish i could afford a better and higher quality lens but
I am no pro. -- lens uv
