Anyway, Tiffen makes soft contrast (darkens highlights supposedly) and
low contrast filters (lightens shadows) each in five different strengths. I
am
quite interested in buying one or two of them (cokin 'P' size) and wonder
if
anyone on the list has any experience with them with either a Realist or
more modern cameras & lenses. I would use them to increase opportunities
of picture taking in harsh or midday sunlight if I had one as opposed to
'moody' pictures.
