[kevin h. y. lui.]

The filters are very small, which approx. 21-22 mm (outer-diameter) , Here is

<P>

The greenish-yellow one is made by B+W. And the other one is a close up filter

for Retina cameras. When I purchase them, They come with their original case .

The close-up follows with its manual (German), and a close up ruler.

<P> Do anyone know how to use they and which Retina can use them?

Kevin,

 

Green filter is for black and white.

 

The green one is for portraits, make the tonality of skin more natural and darkened it. Also you can use it for landscapes (BW) it will make differences among different greens of the trees and bushes.

 

No answer for second question. Sorry.

[luis triguez]

B and W are excelent filters.

Green filters<div></div>

[luis triguez]

My poor translation:

 

1 060 yellow-green.

 

The green-yellow filter 060 is ideal where it is important to difference the green tones. It is indicated specially for springtime, because it will enhance the light green color of the leaves. Also, it`s convenient its use for portraits groups with natural light due to flatter the reddish tones. Open 2X

 

2 0361 green

 

The deep green filter creates much differences between green tones in springtime and summer. Also is indicated to photograph flowers for graphic uses. Also, when photographing still life, to separate tonality and for the corrections of red tones in portraits with fast film. Open 3X

 

 

(As you now Tri-X, for instance, has a lot of infrared making faces white)

[luis triguez]

Well, regarding to the rule it must be to measure the distance from the film plane to the object due to the use of a close up lens.<div></div>

Thank you very much, Luis! You have provided me a lot of information! I really do want to try this set of filters. However, none of my classis is suitable for them.

<BR>

I guess, the ruler, should be used with the Kodak close-up and then set the set on focusing scale on the camera. The ruler has some words printed on its back side. It says, ' WER IDEEN HAT, HAT ZUKUNFT.' From a German translation, it means, 'WHO HAS IDEAS, HAS FUTURE.' (A very meaningful words. ) Look at the photo below.

curious!

[kevin h. y. lui.]

I still want to know, which mode of Kodak Retina (or other bands) can use this type of 21.5 mm (approx) filters. I don't want to waste them!

[chromatic-aberration]

The manual you show says Ia and IIa. That's probably the answer right there.

[luis triguez]

Rolleis 35 has small size too but I don`t remember how many mm. I lost mine.

[kevin h. y. lui.]

I know the manual says Ia or IIa. However, Ia and IIa have a number of types in its design and structure differences. I don't know which one I can put them on.

[kevin h. y. lui.]

Luis, The Rollei 35 should use a filter which is about 30.5mm. IT is not easy to get one.

[kevin h. y. lui.]

Luis, I found a Rollei 35 shylight filter from evilbay. HOpe it helps you.

Kevin,

 

thanks for the help with the Rollei 35 filter, but it`s so late. You didn`t read the last post from my previous to Mihai Costea where I explain the loss of the Rollei.

I am sorry to hear your rollei 35 has lost. And, do you plan to get a new one in the future? Rollei 35 is a very good snapshot camera that ever made. I owned one before and took some photos of WTO in Hong Kong. (But the photos has joined LOST TV drama, They are in somewhere that I don't know how to find them).

[luis triguez]

I`m sorry to hear that too.

The filters should fit on the Retina 2 or 3's. I have a Retina 2a, but when I shot a roll through it, I discovered a hole in the bellows:( Lame.

21.5 is a very small filter probably fit on minolta rokkor 45/2.8. Retina II, IIa and IIIc use 32mm filter.
