B+W 77mm KR6 (81EF) Warming Color Conversion Filter
Key Features
  • Warmest of the 81 Series
  • Rugged Black Brass Filter Ring
  • High Quality Schott Glass
With double the strength of the KR3, the B&W 77mm KR6 Warming Color Conversion Filter leads to neutral color rendition in strong haze or in mountains above 2500m (8200') when transparencies are not to show "blue mountains" (which can also be attractive depending on the individual case).

Another field of application would be interior photographs on daylight reversal (slide) film when only blue light from the sky and no direct sunlight is coming through the windows - and no fill-in flash is being used. In combination with tungsten reversal film, the KR6 filter imparts the warmth of normal incandescent bulbs to the light emitted by halogen bulbs which would appear neutral white without a filter.
