Grun: a green panchromatic filter that was used for contrast enchantment for
B/W photography
These filters were used for film photography and are not useful for digital
photography. However, when using low intensity light (yellowish), DLF-filter adjusts
the light back to the direction of blue, making the image more pleasant to view.
