Ilford Multigrade Filter Set with Holder

Master contrast control in black and white darkroom printing with the Ilford Multigrade Filter Set. This essential tool lets you fine-tune image contrast when working with multigrade or variable contrast photographic papers — no complicated calculations required.

The set includes twelve gelatin filters numbered 00 to 5 in half-step increments, with lower numbers producing softer contrast and higher numbers delivering harder contrast. Magenta filters absorb green light to transmit blue, while yellow filters absorb blue light to transmit green, giving you precise control over your final print.

Key features:

• Twelve filters (00 – 5 in 1/2 step increments) for comprehensive contrast range
• 3 x 3 inch (8.9 x 8.9cm) gelatin filters with holder included
• Simple exposure calculation: filters 00 – 3 1/2 use the same exposure time; filters 4 – 5 require double exposure time
• Versatile mounting — use above or below the lens, or cut to fit your enlarger filter drawer
• Industry-standard method trusted by darkroom photographers worldwide
