| Skylight |
Used to eliminate blue cast in distant scenes and in open shade because it absorbs ultraviolet rays and some blue light. It also clears up environmental haze a little. |
| UV |
(a.k.a. UV Haze) Used to eliminate blue cast in distant scenes and in open shade. Absorbs ultraviolet rays. It also clears up environmental haze a little. |
| FL-D |
Eliminates green cast when daylight type films are used under fluorescent lights. |
| ND |
Used to lower intensity of light striking the film to enable larger apertures for shallow depth-of-field, slower speeds and special effects. Of ten come in .3, .6 & .9 densities. (1/3, 1/6, 1/9 f-stops). |

| Filters designated as 80 filters are very cool in Kelvin temperature |
| 80A |
Now use daylight color films with 3200K photofloods. |
| 80B |
Now use daylight color films with 3400K photofloods. |
| 80C |
Now use daylight color films with 3800K lamps. |
|
| Filters designated with 81 filters are a little bit warm in Kelvin Temperature |
| 81A |
Now use tungsten "Type A" tungsten (movie film) with 3200K photofloods. |
| 81B |
Eliminates blue cast found in high altitude mountain photography or when shooting during a very clear day. |
| 81C |
Helps counter the blue cast in cloudy and rainy weather. |
|
| Filters designated with 82 filters are a little bit cool in Kelvin Temperature |
| 82A |
Now use "Type A" tungsten (movie film) with 3200K illumination. |
| 82B |
Now use 3200K standard tungsten film ("Type B") with household bulbs (2800-2400). |
| 82C |
Reduces the reddish cast found from shooting early morning or late afternoon. |
|
| Filters designated with 85 filters are warm in Kelvin Temperature |
| 85A |
Now use "Type A" (movie film) can be used in daylight. |
| 85B |
Now use standard tungsten film ("Type B") in daylight. |
| 85C |
Converts 5500K lighting to 3800K. |
