Tiffen Filter 52MM YELLOW 12 FILTER - 52Y12

The #12 Yellow Filter from Tiffen is a filter that enhances contrast and tonal separation for black and white photography. The filter absorbs blue colors, making blue tones darker. Haze is minimized for aerial shots, and excessive blue is removed for astrophotography. The yellow filter No. 12 is recommended as a base filter for use with Kodak's Aero Ektachrome infrared film. The filter has a filter factor of 2, so you will need to increase your exposure by 1 stop to compensate for this. Tiffen filters are not dyed but are made using ColorCore technology. This process laminates the filter material between two pieces of optical glass and grinds and polishes the glass. The glass is then mounted on a metal ring, which can be screwed onto the lens for the desired effect.
