Ilford Aufsteckfilter-Set 8,9 cm

The half-stop increments between 00 and 5 give me way more control over contrast than my old set ever did, and they're speed-matched so I don't have to adjust exposure when swapping. Switched between three filters mid-print today and didn't waste a single sheet.

Finally, a filter set that's actually speed matched—no more guessing exposure adjustments. The half-step increments between 00 and 5 give me exactly the control I need for tricky negatives.

I’d been wasting time with dodgy contrast filters before, but having twelve numbered 00-5 in precise half-steps makes dialing in the exact grade so much faster under the enlarger. The speed-matched design is a nice touch—no recalculating exposure between filters.
