I am no stranger to using color filters when shooting black and white film but among all available options, orange was the spectrum I had not thought of picking up before. While I am not a fan of cooling/blue and green filters (because I like my sky and trees dark) I wasn’t sure if I’d love the deep contrast look from orange, since a yellow filter did pretty good job at it.

I did no research, just jumped the gun and bought an orange filter from Amazon, slapped it on to my Voigtlander 50 f/1 Nokton on my Leica M-A and packed this for our EoY trip to Vancouver Island. Over six days on the island shot a roll of Kodak 400 TMax, metering to ISO 320 and the “look” right off the shelf - came out very satisfying.
