Ilford multigrade filters are a fantastic addition to any darkroom. With 12 evenly spaced, speed matched grades, they enable simple contrast control for all variable contrast papers and allow a wide range of negative types to be printed.

Multigrade filters are numbered 00–5 in ½ step increments with the lowest filter number corresponding to the softest contrast. They are easy to use with no complicated calculations required when changing from one filter to another - the exposure time for filters 00–3½ is the same which then simply doubles for filters 4–5.

Multigrade filters are available in sets, 8.9 x 8.9cm (3½x3½”) and 15.2 x 15.2cm (6x6”), and can be used above or below the lens as well as cut to fit enlarger filter drawers as necessary. A filter kit is also available for below lens use, comprising of 12 mounted contrast filters, a mounted safelight filter and a filter holder.

Steven ★★★★★

The 12 grade steps give me way more control over contrast than I had with my old set, and the speed matching means I don’t have to recalculate exposure times. They’ve made printing so much smoother.

Owen Q. ★★★★★

These filters fit perfectly in my Beseler enlarger and the grade spacing is spot-on. Big improvement over my old set.

Ryan O. ★★★★★

Went from grade 0 to 5 without having to re-expose my test strips, and the 3.5-inch square size fits neatly in my filter drawer. The spacing between grades feels genuinely even, not just stamped on. A solid, no-fuss upgrade for anyone stuck with older filters.
