Re: Ilford SFX 120 Filter (Was Re: Ilford SFX 120 & personnal info)

Bertha,
In the original Ilford leaflet they advice to use a B&W 92 filter (see
in the Markerink list for transmission details) This filter is almost
black, but I can imagine that some cameras can focus through it. I used
the filter myself and I can assure you that this filter gets the utmost
from SFX200! You do get the wood effect although not as abundant as with
HIE. Still worthwile to try. Succes!
Greetings,
Jaap Los
