Vintage photo filter old yellow Filtroptic for retro film camera

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual Description

This old photographic filter, presented in its rigid hinged case, is distinguished by its circular mount and its deep yellow tint. The filter's surface shows slight signs of use, characteristic of optical accessories from past decades. The filter is inserted into a dark-finished metal frame, set in orange-brown protective foam, typical of vintage packaging for analog photography.

The black lid of the case is open, offering a direct view of the front of the filter. No brand markings are legible on the visible part of the filter or case, but the reference to the keywords "Filtroptic" suggests a specific manufacturer or range, common in vintage photographic optics.

The intense yellow color of the glass is perfectly visible, indicating a probable use for black and white photography, where this type of filter helps to modify contrasts and sky rendering. The round shape and apparent screw thread suggest compatibility with screw-mount lenses, common on analog cameras.

The whole is placed on a white textile background, highlighting the good general appearance of the object and the consistent transparency of the filter. No chips or major scratches are visible on the front; the protective foam appears original, slightly aged but still functional.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Light wear consistent with age, visible signs of use on the filter surface and foam. The original case is in good apparent condition.

Did you know? Yellow filters were particularly used by analog photographers to accentuate the contrast between the sky and clouds on black and white film, making landscape scenes more dramatic. Their use dates back to the 1930s-1970s, before the widespread arrival of digital sensors and software corrections.
