Colour collection filters

[Ben Walsh]

I’m aware this subject is brought up quite often on the forum but I’ve never seen a list of what colours are best for faded film and does anyone have any recommendations on how to get ahold of them.

Many thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben

I've used Hama blue filters with varying degrees of success depending on the fade. Maybe others can add more details.

Ben,

Here are a few threads from the archive that list some of the gels/filters that members use.

I have used a cyan (pale blueish) gelatine filter cut from a Strand Electric spotlight filter gives good results on some films.Also a double thickness helps on others. So much depends on how far the print has deteriorated.
