angle lenses, particularly when they are used on digital cameras. The addition of MRC coating gives greater light transmission, reduces
colour cast and acts as effective protection against scratching.
Because black-and-white films do not render colors in the gray tones that correspond to the perception of human eyes, the use of yellow and yellow-green filters was simply indispensable.Today's panchromatically sensitized black-and-white films no longer require such a correction, at least not in daylight. In artificial light, however, the increased red component can distort the rendition in gray tones by rendering blue tones too darkly and red tones too brightly. This can be remedied by the use of a light blue filter with halogen light or a medium blue filter with incandescent illumination.
Yellow and yellow-green filters can bring more brilliance to landscape photographs and create better differentiation of green tones in vegetation.Yellow and orange filters can magically transform cloudlets into clouds and cloud formations and red filters can even raise them to dramatic thunderstorm strength or create moonlight effects.
A very simple rule can be used to determine which filter should be used: To lighten a subject color, use a filter of the same color. To darken a subject color, use a filter of a complementary color.
