Heliopan 706703 Overview

The Heliopan 67mm #8 Medium Yellow Filter is a basic contrast filter, primarily for use with black and white film, that slightly darkens skies, helps to cut through haze, and improves overall contrast. It is the most common contrast filter for black and white photography, producing an accurate tonal range and compensating for the blue sensitivity of panchromatic film. There is a 2.5-3x filter factor with this filter, requiring an increase of 1.3 to 1.5 stops for normal exposure.

The front and rear surfaces of the filter both feature a single anti-reflection coating. Each coating helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, they offer protection to the filter substrate while helping to keep the glass clean for longer than uncoated glass.

This Heliopan filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. It features a brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

Heliopan filter is relatively expensive than B&W or Hoya but it is made of brass and it is much stronger than aluminum ones. I keep the filters into screw-type stack up filter case and saved lots of space in the bag. I am glad my decision with Heliopan filter. I don't see any problems with 67mm filter thread. The delivery took six weeks while they don't have a sock in house.
