Question about B+W filters

[anaanda]

I was just wondering how many of you use filters in your black and white work. If so which ones and in what circumstances?

Thanks

I use a medium yellow filter most of the time to add a little contrast and darken the skies just a bit so that they look more natural. If I want something more dramatic, I'll use an orange or occasionally a red filter. I often use a green filter for landscapes where I want to differentiate shades in the foliage.

Medium Yellow, just not to have a "white" sky. Sometimes orange, but I have it only for my SRL and not for the RF .

Medium yellow very often. Deep Red (Wrattan 25) always handy.
