The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" #9 (3) Yellow Filter is a basic contrast filter, primarily intended for use with black and white film. This medium yellow filter slightly darkens skies, helps reduce haze and improves overall contrast. It is a common contrast filter for black and white photography, producing accurate tonal range and compensating for the blue sensitivity of panchromatic film.

This filter has a filter factor of 2x, requiring a 1-stop increase for normal exposure. Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm.
