What do you consider to be the most important filter colors that you use for black and white photography, and what effect do you like that each produces?
Include polarizing filters, if it's a filter that's important for your black and white photography.
The most important color for my black and white work is a Wratten 12, medium dark yellow. I like the way that it darkens skies. The standard yellow K2 (a.k.a. Wratten 8) doesn't darken skies enough for my tastes. The Wratten 12 yellow was recommended by Ansel Adams in one of his books, so I gave it a try.
That's an important filter color for me; I'd like to learn more about others.
[Please note, I've checked the archives by searching for any title that includes "filter" in the Lens and Accessories forum.]
