You will find Joe is quite talented with paper negatives. He has extensive work on the f/295 forum with pinhole paper negatives.

Paper Negativ on Ilfospeed 9x12 cm
Taken with a Verito 8,75 inch, f/4
My new toy

I would like to try Ilfospeed MG with Filter.
Is there anyone who has experience how the filter are working in sun light ?

A yellow filter works well with this emulsion. A 2-X works best.

My mind went into the gutter looking at that! A good job though.

Thank you so much.

But, sorry for my bad English, I meant the use of the Multigrade Filter (0 -5)
They where used normally with an enlarger and the Multigrade Paper.
But I would like to use Multigrade Paper and the Multigrade Filter whilst exposure the paper as negativ in Camera and with sun light.

Are there eperiences whether the filter works in sun light same as with an enlarger ?

G'day Horst
I've used yellow filters with MG paper, works well.

I prefer this approach to pre-flashing and or using non-standard processing.

The main problem when shooting MG paper is inconsistency of exposure control. Many variables effect the exposure; strength of sun, amount of cloud, time of day etc.

The attached image is a flat bed scan of an RC MG IV neg exposed through a Y2 camera lens filter on a bright overcast morning I've had similar results with MG 0 and 00 filters.

In very bright sunlit conditions I'd include a pre-flash to control image contrast.
