The central part of the filter consists of an orange-tinted glass, offering a uniform and distinct coloration. The outer ring has a dark, smooth finish, with a legible \"JAPAN\" marking on the perimeter, indicating Japanese manufacturing. No other logos or inscriptions are visible on the shown face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass surface appears clean and homogeneous, without deep scratches or visible chips in the photographed area. The filter is presented flat on a white textile background, which highlights the rich hue of the glass. The precise-looking peripheral threading suggests compatibility with many vintage lenses, although the exact diameter is not indicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep orange tint suggests a contrast filter, often used in black and white photography to enhance sky contrast or modify color rendition. The overall appearance suggests production from the 1960s-1980s, a period when this type of screw-in filter was widely used by amateur and professional photographers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe metallic rim, robust in appearance, shows some micro-traces of use but no apparent impact.
