👎 Cons
- This filter is specifically designed for black-and-white imaging and will not produce the same effects in color photography.
- The green color of the filter will alter the color balance if used for color photography, making it unsuitable for that purpose.
- Its effect on darkening skies and lightening greens is fixed, offering no variable control over the intensity of these changes.
