I took some photos of landscapes around my office with a Hoya Green Field filter. Most lens filters like these are not necessary anymore because of photo editing software, but I always like to try things the old analog way. For film cameras, the Green Field filter is designed to enhance green colors without affecting other colors. The filter itself is a piece of pale green glass that screws on the end of the lens, in this case a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4.

Overall, I found that using the filter made it harder to get a correct exposure. Perhaps the camera was confused by the color ratios, or perhaps it was user error/inexperience (more likely). Most of the photos I took had highlights that were blown out and shadows that were too dark.
