Hey guys,
I wondering if you guys have experience with any of these filters and their recommended uses. I want to try out a couple colours to start before I invest in a whole set.

thanks

I moved your post to the Help forum.

I really haven't done a whole lot with B&W filters myself but have occasionally used a dark red (25) filter to bring out the sky. Basically, they darken the complementary color (red to blue) and lighten the color of the filter itself.

I guess no one does black and white anymore?

I've gotten some nice results with a dark red filter. It makes for longer exposure times but provides nice contrast.

A member of my Mind Of Minolta group, recently wrote up a training lesson for us on Filters, which includes about two pages of info on filters for black & white. You should find it enlightening.

This is a Word document, so you will need Word or the Word Viewer plug-in to view it. And if you have any problems with the link, just look for Mind Of Minolta on Yahoo Groups, and check out 'filters.doc' in the Files section.
