Lee SW150 Resin Black and White Filters

Lee SW150mm Resin Black and White Filters

The SW150 filter system is suited to medium format, large format and extreme lenses like ultra wides, ultra wide zooms and shift lenses.

Lee SW150 Black And White Filters are widely used by photographers for creative effect – most commonly to increase contrast between sky and cloud. However, care should be taken, because as much as a black & white filter darkens one colour, it lightens another – specifically, any colour that is similar to its own. A red filter, for example, makes a red pillar box appear almost white, and a blue sky as almost black. However, a red filter also absorbs green, which would block up the foreground of a verdant landscape.

The black & white filters in the Lee SW150 Black And White range can be used in conjunction with others, such as the polariser and neutral density standards and graduates.

The Lee SW150 range of black & white filters are made from optical grade resin and are handmade by Lee Filters in England.

The filters are 150mm x 150mm in size and 2mm in thickness. They are supplied with a soft storage pouch.
