82mm Yellow-Green Filter for B&W Portraiture

The HOYA 82mm Yellow Green Multi Coated Glass Filter (X0) #11 is a specialised camera filter designed for black-and-white photography. Its specific tint darkens red hues while absorbing green and green-blue tones, rendering skin and lips with a more natural tonal balance. Photographers shooting portraits under tungsten lighting or using flash units will find the filter especially effective for correcting colour rendition.

Multi-Coated Glass Cuts Flare and Boosts Contrast

The multi-coated surface applies several layers of anti-reflection coating to the optical glass, significantly reducing flare and ghosting while improving overall contrast. This construction preserves highlight detail and shadow separation in high-contrast scenes such as backlit portraits or bright foliage. The durable glass substrate maintains optical clarity and resists aberrations that can soften fine detail.

Suited to B&W Shooters Needing Subtle Tonal Control

This filter suits film and digital photographers who want a lighter alternative to a pure green filter for outdoor scenics and studio portraits where softer tonal transitions are preferred. It is not intended for colour photography, as the yellow-green cast will shift colour balance unpredictably. Users requiring stronger red-darkening effects or infrared-specific filtration should consider different filter densities.
