Premium Member Tony Brown Posted May 9, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted May 9, 2007 Cant get a straight answer on this. I've rented #8 Tiffen filters for most of my shoots for some time now, thought it was time to buy some. They arrive designated #8 Yellow 2 They look slightly deeper yellow that the ones I've been renting (from memory - I may be wrong),as you would expect from e.g. a Tobacco 2 over a Tobacco 1, but Tiffen say its the same hue/saturation as the original #8 Anyone know for sure the significance of the '2' please?

Sam Wells Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hi Tony, a #8 Yellow is also known as a Wratten K2 - I don't know if that explains it or not. (I just looked at my Tiffen Deep Yellow # 15 - it says "Orange" on the ring, even though it's yellow by my definition -- well then some oranges are a bit yellow on the outside but when I hear yellow I think lemon :D ) -Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
