Source of 100x100 GLASS contrast filters
Hi folks,
It's proving to be a challenge for me to find a yellow-green 100x100 (4"x4") contrast filter in GLASS. I previously used Heliopan but it seems they're no longer available. I've also contacted some of the usual suspects and I'm waiting on responses: formatt hitech, tiffen, Lee. I may try Schott glass directly. It might just be that the optical qualities/properties of resin filters makes glass redundant, I don't know? Anyway, any sources would be appreciated.

Is there a particular reason that you specifically want the filter to be glass Marty?

Tiffen are the only one at the moment but I'd rather find something on this side of the pond if I can. I've tried contacting Heliopan directly but so far no word. Lee only has resin.

Linhoff and Studio list the Lee 100mm yellow green for £74. I can’t see if it is glass, but worth a look.

Lee filters are resin, but very good. I am happy with my small set of contrast filters.
