I now have color correction filters again, these gels are guaranteed to add touched of cyan or green back into your faded Eastman, Fuji, and AGFA film stocks.

$6 for a set of three filters sent in a first class envelope.

International folks, please add an extra $2 for postage.

100% money back guarantee if not satisfied!

Paypal and concealed cash accepted.

Watch all of your faded prints again as they probably looked years ago! Some stocks will be better enhanced than others, as each film is different.

Try these out and post your thoughts about them here...

Are these cyan filters? How to fasten them in front of lens?

I'd like some spares, as the cyan filters work miracles for reddish prints. Do you have contrast enhancing ones too? (Not sure if these are the yellow ones)

Hello, i'm interested. Do you have photos of the filters in action? Before and after pictures? [Smile]

The need for information is clearly not preventing orders, but it would be interesting to know what they are made of and are they rigid enough to easily fix in front of a lens.

Posted by Kevin Meyer (Member # 2268) on October 07, 2013, 09:22 AM:

Hi Gerald, I sent you money via PayPal for a set of filters. Thanks!

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on October 07, 2013, 09:42 AM:

I sent also a payment (and an e-mail because I missed the Paypal page that asks you to give the full infomations).

I use a piece of tape and it works fine. I'm good with taking screenshots of films but, should probably leave it to you guys so that you can see the results. I will however post a picture of how I apply it to the lens. This is not a cyan filter and the gel does enhance contrast -- improving "faded" black and white prints on color stock, in my opinion.

This is how I attach it to my Kodak Pageant with a 1.3 zoom lens. The lamp is 750W, it's set on a two blade shutter, and the picture is still very bright. The loss of light is about 2 stops. I was very, very happily surprised that I finally found a correction filter that worked. It wasn't too blue, nor too green...it was just right. In fact it gives it that "golden, warm SP" look.

Get a pair your "Goldilocks" today, all orders placed will be shipped on the same day for a speedy delivery.

payment sent...

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on October 07, 2013, 02:36 PM:

So a set of 2 costs only $2 + $2 shipping? If that's so, it's very cheap indeed and I'll send you money soon too for a few sets

Thanks

Posted by Gerald Santana (Member # 2362) on October 07, 2013, 03:15 PM:

That's right Vidar, you get two swatches of gel for $2. Operators are standing by to take your orders. [Wink]

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on October 08, 2013, 07:48 AM:

Sent you 20 dollars ... Looking forward to see if there's any difference to the ones I have (3 cyan intensities)

Dirt cheap this was :-)

Any chance of buying a couple of sheets from you? I have a 35mm and the lenses are much bigger :-)

Posted by Gerald Santana (Member # 2362) on October 08, 2013, 11:56 AM:

Hi Vidar,

I'll make the pieces bigger and get you more of them if you need any.

They will be going out today...

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on October 08, 2013, 01:39 PM:

Super, thank you!

I would love to get some bigger for the 25mm lenses

Posted by Gerald Santana (Member # 2362) on October 08, 2013, 04:15 PM:

You're welcome Vidar and everyone else who got these. All I've been watching is my old faded films to see what they look like with the filter. I'm way to curious and have been pleased with each one so far.

Posted by Gerald Santana (Member # 2362) on October 11, 2013, 03:00 AM:

Everyone should be getting their filters or should have them by now. I took a couple of pictures with my little camera, projected onto a white screen.

I have print of Raging Bull (1980) that is sadly, on fading Eastman stock...or is it really so sadly? Has it's curse been lifted? With the use of this gel that has now switched the film from fading magenta to a much better Sepia tone that actually also looks like black and white. You be the judge of this round...

WITHOUT

WITH GEL

I really kinda liked the film when I first saw it despite its color fading. It also has some Kodachrome shots on the second reel that I could not get to tonight but, will compare as possible. Here is another look:

BEFORE

AFTER

Maybe fading prints are not down for the count? I've seen vast improvements with this filter, I'm testing it every day and here are the first pictures. I've yet to try it combined with other filters. The light output will dim if you do but, this one is the best one I've used on it's own. The brightness dosent diminish but, somehow becomes much more balanced.

SENZA FILTRO

CON FILTRO

What do you think?

Posted by Pasquale DAlessio (Member # 2052) on October 11, 2013, 04:51 PM:

I got mine today. Thanks for a great deal Gerald. BTW they work great! I would post screen shots but my camera doesn't take good ones.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on November 24, 2013, 01:40 PM:

I could try Gerald's filter on several prints (as I received my two filters some weeks ago). On light red prints, the filter corrects nicely the picture. On medium re prints, I noticed an improvment but the it was still too red, so I put the second filter provided and it was good. On very red film, there is also a good improvment, maybe with a third filter it would be better but the correction is enough for me to make it watchable. An unexpected effect of the filter is that on some copies, it sharpens the picture. It's propbably one of the best value for money deal you can make. Thanks, Gerald.

Posted by Gerald Santana (Member # 2362) on February 06, 2017, 04:38 PM:

They're back folks!

After a couple of years without them, I'll be receiving a shipment of color correcting filters.

Take a look at the details above for information about how you can get a pair while supplies last.

Thanks [Smile]

Posted by Gerald Santana (Member # 2362) on February 18, 2017, 03:04 AM:

Here they are folks, new and improved, these small sheets can be easily attached with tape to the front of your projector.

Give 'em a try and see for yourself, send me a PM and get yours today.

Posted by Luigi Castellitto (Member # 3759) on February 18, 2017, 09:57 AM:

Gerald, the filters must be applied one at a time, and you choose the one most suitable according to the print of film (doing tests)?
And if there is need one above the other? Even two or three simultaneously?
I do not know if I understand correctly. [Smile]

Posted by Gilbert Lambert (Member # 5403) on February 18, 2017, 12:02 PM:

Thank you Gerald, I ordered 2 sets, I know how they work. It's a nicer way to watch faded prints. Glad we can have them through you. Warmest regards, Gilbert

Posted by Gerald Santana (Member # 2362) on February 18, 2017, 12:17 PM:

Gilbert and Luigi, thanks for your order.

You should use one filter at a time taped to the side of the projector or onto the lens. I discovered that the green one works well on pink or sepia Eastman, the light blue works well on fair color Eastman or SP.

The cyan transparency works best on Agfa and Fuji that is faded purple. However, there are no rules...try until you find the right one.

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on February 21, 2017, 12:36 PM:

I'll be very curious to as to how well they will work on my optical feature of "Gorky Park"! [Smile]

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on February 23, 2017, 11:24 AM:

Gerlad, could you please contact me? There was a slip-up with the shipping.

Sincerely OSI

Posted by Gerald Santana (Member # 2362) on February 23, 2017, 12:33 PM:

Hey Osi,

Not sure what stock Gorky Park if there is still some color left, the light blue one should be alright.

My apologies about your receiving post office with a postage due sticker, all of the envelopes I sent out were weighed and accepted as machinable.

If there are any problems with anyone out there receiving an envelope with a "postage due" stamp, please send me a photograph of the envelope (if you paid extra) so the matter can be looked into and corrected.

Lots of you should be receiving them by now or any day now. If there appears to be a recurring problem with the envelope I'm sending now, I will have to charge the difference of an additional $1-2 in shipping for anyone else that may want them in the future.

But, as of now the price remains the same...so enjoy.

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on February 23, 2017, 12:41 PM:

I'll get that photo to you tomorrow, (I'm at the library at the moment with no cell phone to take a photo on me). The only annoying thing was having to walk down to the post office to get my filters ...

But I have them now and eager to check out Gorky! It does have most of it's color, just the blacks aren't perfect. [Smile]

Posted by Alan Gouger (Member # 31) on January 30, 2018, 02:41 PM:

Where do you order the filters ?

Thank you.

Posted by Janice Glesser (Member # 2758) on January 30, 2018, 02:59 PM:

Alan, you can PM Gerald Santana to see if he has any of his gels left. If not, there is a guy on Ebay selling a set with a holder he'll customize the size for your projector or just get the 16mm size.

I just ordered the filter set from the eBay seller who was adapting the holder to my Elmo GS-1200 lens. I'll report back once I get it and screen a few faded film favorites!
