To make use of multigrade or VC paper you need to use filters to obtain those grade.

Ilford's sets includes twelve filters which are numbered 00-5 in 1/2 steps, with the lowest filter number corresponding to the softest contrast.

Filters are available in sets of filters 8.9x8.9cm (3.5 x 3.5 inches) and 15.2 x 15.2cm (6 x 6 inches).

They can be used above or below the lens and can be cut to fit the enlarger filter drawer. Filter sizes 30 x 30cm (11.8 x 11.8 inches) are available to special order.

A filter kit is available for below the lens use. It comprises 12 mounted contrast filters, a mounted safelight filter and a filter holder.

Multigrade filters are very easy to use: no complicated calculations are needed when changing from one filter to another. The exposure time for filters 00-31/2 is the same; that for filters 4-5 is double.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Elizabeth ★★★★★

These filters are just as crisp and precise as I hoped for dialing in contrast levels. Being able to adjust from 00 to 5 in half-steps gives me so much more control over my prints in the darkroom.

Ava I. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how compact the twelve filters are—they fit neatly in the darkroom drawer without taking over. The half-step numbering makes dialing in contrast much more intuitive than my old set, and the 15.2cm size works perfectly with my easel.

Timothy ★★★★★

The half-stop increments from 00 to 5 give me precise control over contrast that I never had with my old set. Each filter slides smoothly into the holder and the 15.2cm size fits my enlarger perfectly.
