I use this most of the time outdoors when shooting black and white film. I ocassionally use an orange filter instead. Protects my lenses and gives a little extra contrast.

This filter is well-made from a manufacturer with an excellent reputation. I use it to accentuate skies etc with B&W film. Multicoated so it should hold up well to frequent use.
