Product Description
To make use of multigrade or VC paper you need to use filters to obtain those grade.
Ilford's sets includes twelve filters which are numbered 00-5 in 1/2 steps, with the lowest filter number corresponding to the softest contrast.
Filters are available in sets of filters 8.9x8.9cm (3.5 x 3.5 inches) and 15.2 x 15.2cm (6 x 6 inches).
They can be used above or below the lens and can be cut to fit the enlarger filter drawer. Filter sizes 30 x 30cm (11.8 x 11.8 inches) are available to special order.
A filter kit is available for below the lens use. It comprises 12 mounted contrast filters, a mounted safelight filter and a filter holder.
Multigrade filters are very easy to use: no complicated calculations are needed when changing from one filter to another. The exposure time for filters 00-31/2 is the same; that for filters 4-5 is double.
