B+W 43mm Yellow 495 Filter
The B+W 43mm Yellow 495 Filter is a multi-coated glass filter designed for black and white photography. It threads onto 43mm lenses to reduce blue light and improve tonal balance. The 022M designation identifies the specific yellow density. Multi-resistant coating cuts reflections and boosts light transmission.
Suited for monochrome landscape and plant work
Photographers shooting black and white landscapes or foliage gain deeper contrast and clearer distant views. The yellow tone renders cloudy skies naturally without excessive drama. Digital users should note the filter is optimised for film-style contrast; those needing colour correction or neutral density should look elsewhere.
43mm thread size is the fit constraint
The filter only fits lenses with a 43mm front thread; any other diameter requires a different size or a step ring. The 495 wavelength number defines the spectral cut-off for the yellow effect. No other dimensions or adapter rings are included.
