Tiffen 72mm Black & White Three Filter Kit
The Tiffen 72mm Black & White Three Filter Kit combines the essential Yellow #6, Green #13 and Red #25 contrast filters, with a four-pocket filter pouch, to provide a convenient solution for producing different degrees of contrast when using black and white film.
Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a process that laminates the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting it in precision metal rings.

Red Filter #25 (72 mm)
The Tiffen 72mm Red #25 Filter is a filter designed to enhance contrast in black and white photography and create separation between tones. This filter creates dramatic skies or simulates a moonlit scene during the day by slightly underexposing the image and also eliminating fog and haze. Infrared film is enhanced with extreme contrast, making skies even more dramatic and vegetation white in landscape photographs. The filter has a filter factor of 8, so you need to increase your exposure by 3 stops to compensate.
Tiffen filters are not tinted, but are manufactured using ColorCore technology. This process laminates the filter material between two pieces of optical glass, then grinds and polishes the glass. The glass is then mounted on the metal ring, which can then be screwed onto the lens to achieve the desired effect.
