Adox SNAP-ON gelatine filters are a new and unique idea in budget colour filters.
Each one increases your creativity, at a fraction of the cost you'd pay for either a mounted(ringed) filter or Cokin square alternative.
Each one is made with a patented shape that uses their little teeth on the side to bite onto the inside of the camera lens' standard filter thread. If need be you can press or screw them in a little for a little more compact fit. To remove, you simply pull the little tab onto which the filter type and exposure factor is printed.
Each Adox gelatine filter is made using Cibachrome(R) dyes which are light stable and will not fade out. They are water repellent, so can be used if it's raining but also you just wipe them with wet antistatic cloth to clean them.
Three versions are available:
Ideal for the ADOX HR-50 or Ilford SFX film, this filter only has a double filter factor, which means the exposure time must be doubled or the aperture increased by one level. By only having a 2x filter factor, these films can still be used with handheld shots.
Stronger infrared filters as we offer for example from Hoya or Cokin have higher filter factors, deliver more of an infrared effect but have to be mounted on a tripod for use.
The exposure prolonging factor is 2X. Dark red / IR 600nm.
Solid yellow filters increase the contrast, accentuates the cloud effect. Clouds tend to disappear when recorded without a filter, the Yellow filter restores the effect to approximately that seen with the eye.
