Title: lens filter
Post by: hovis on March 10, 2007, 03:05:47 pm

Hi

Does anyone know if a filter exists (glass not digital) that removes colour, so that if you looked through it you would see a B&W image (not including sepia)?

Thanks

Jon

Never heard of one.  

There is a filter for viewing (not taking) that is suppose to give a rendition in color that will make it much easier to visualize b&w (forgot what it is becasuse it didn't work too well for me).

Other than a Kodak wratten 90 (monochrome viewing filter)?

Thanks, I'll give that a try and see if it's what I'm looking for.
