Without Color Filters:
The filters recommended for use with Kodak Films are the Kodak Sky Filter, Kodak Color Filter, and Wratten Kl, K2, G, and A Filters. There are other filters but they are intended for more or less technical and specific purposes and need not be mentioned here. They are described fully in these Eastman Kodak Company publications: "Filters—Kodak Data Book on Filters and Other Lens Accessories," "The Photography of Colored Objects," and "Wratten Light Filters," all available at Kodak dealers'.IN BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY as practiced today, no accessories are more widely used than color filters. Easily attached in front of your Camera lens, they are capable both of giving your pictures more accurate tone values and of adding greatly to their effectiveness and charm. Color filters will serve you well in taking landscapes and other pictures, especially if you understand what they do and how they do it. This chapter covers not only these important devices but also other lens attachments which you will find equally interesting.
Panchromatic films enable you to get beautiful black-and-white results with ordinary Camera equipment, and often without color filters. This does not mean that filters have no use in this work, but it does mean that in many cases a Filter is not needed. In others the use of a Filter adds just enough more color correction to give you tone brightnesses in the black-and-white print that are comparable to those registered by the eye. While these "pan" films are best for black-and-white flower pictures because of their sensitivity to all colors, good results can also be obtained with Kodak Verichrome Film and the proper filter, such as the Kodak Color Filter or the K2 Filter. For information on these, see the preceding chapter.
