Light filters
Up to max. 3 light filters can be inserted in the filter holder (1.16). They can be switched in and out
the light path as required.
Filter Use
Grey filter Grey filters (neutral density filters) are used to
attenuate the light without influencing the
colour temperature. The engraved value, e. g.
N16, indicates the attentuation value. So N16
means reduction to 1/16 = 6.3 % transmission.
Green filter, panchromatic for general enhancement of contrast in black-
and-white photography.
DLF Conversion filter for colour photography with
daylight film.
ALF Enhances contrast for colour photography with
artificial light film.
VG9 (green filter ) Contrast enhancement for chromosome photo-
graphy.
