The Singh-Ray Cokin P LB Color Intensifier Filter produces striking color images that appear more normal than previous intensifiers produced. This filter enhances a large part of the spectrum but does not make the images seem unnatural. The LB filter allows more light to penetrate the glass and, hence, is lighter and brighter - permitting a more distinct image to be seen in the viewfinder.
This filter works best outdoors with foliage and other natural subjects. The best part of this filter is that it does not just enhance the reds and oranges which is what other intensifiers do. You'll find the blues and reds are also positively effected. Best of all, your whites stay white.
This filter differs from traditional intensifiers in that it does not overly saturate the "red" end of the spectrum (earth tones). It boosts color but does not produce an unnatural appearance to the shot. This kind of cleaner look to the photo is more appealing to both the eye and image itself. For the outdoor shooter, this is a benefit when trying to convey the beauty of nature but not oversell it. To that end, the LB Intensifier adds only 1/3 of a stop to your exposure.
For the digital photographer who is using a smaller, dimmer viewfinder, the LB allows 66% more light in - that's 2/3 stop brighter.
For anyone interested in nature or macro photography, this filter will quickly become an integral part of your gear.
