Tiffen 7211G1 72mm #11 Green Contrast Filter

The Tiffen 72mm #11 Green Filter is a specialized contrast filter designed for black-and-white photography. When placed in front of the lens, it selectively transmits green light while absorbing other wavelengths, which translates to lighter green tones and darker skies in monochrome images. This makes it particularly effective for landscape and nature photography, where it separates foliage from surrounding elements and adds depth to sky-and-cloud compositions. The effect is more moderate than red or orange filters, producing a natural-looking tonal range that avoids overly dramatic contrast.

With a filter factor of 4, the #11 Green requires a 2-stop exposure increase, which is easily managed by modern camera metering systems or manual exposure adjustments. The 72mm thread size fits a wide range of professional and enthusiast lenses directly, and step-up adapter rings can extend compatibility to smaller lens diameters. Built to Tiffen's long-established optical standards, the glass is designed to maintain sharpness and color neutrality within its intended green transmission band, making it a reliable addition to any black-and-white photographer's filter kit.
