Overview
The Heliopan B+W 1022 Orange Filter is a versatile monochrome contrast modifier built to balance sky detail and portrait tones in black-and-white photography. By aggressively blocking blue wavelengths and partially cutting down green light, this optical filter dramatically sharpens cloud contrast and pierces through dense atmospheric haze, making it a powerful asset for distance landscapes and telephoto lens work. In studio and portrait environments, its unique light-filtering profile smooths out skin tones by minimizing the appearance of blemishes, freckles, and uneven skin textures for a flawless monochrome finish. Featuring a premium 4-fold coating, it keeps internal reflections to a minimum while offering a durable, easy-to-clean exterior.
Features
- Haze and Sky Correction: Suppresses blue light to clear up distant landscapes and carve out rich, defined cloud formations.
- Portrait Texture Smoothing: Naturally hides skin imperfections, spot blemishes, and surface veins for clean, professional monochrome portraits.
- Quad-Layer Multi-Coating: Built with a 4-fold anti-reflection layer that maintains micro-contrast and repels field moisture and fingerprints.
- Schott Glass Integrity: Employs ground and polished Schott elements to deliver edge-to-edge frame sharpness and uniform, color-neutral light absorption.
- Low-Profile Brass Frame: A slim 4mm mounting cell ensures you can shoot down to 24mm on full-frame cameras without introducing dark vignette corners.
- Bind-Resistant Engineering: Crafted from dimensionally stable brass that eliminates thread jamming and glides smoothly onto your lens.
