R there any filter that can convert image to B&W from a DSLR ?
thanks
Climber said:no such filter (to my knowledge) but i hear yellow filter makes B&W look better. you can try at ur own risk.
But Btw anyone can tell me y?
theITguy said:If you are shooting digital, just shoot in Colour RGB and convert it in Photoshop or similar software. Do not shoot in B&W as you will lose information.

Regarding your question, the spectral sensitivity curves of the human eye and panchromatic b/w film are quite different. The human eye has its maximum sensitivity in the green range, whereas b/w material is more sensitive to blue. Green or yellow filters can correct for this to some extent.
