Somewhere along the line I acquired a Series VI filter marked "Ansco #11." It is rather orange - moreso than a Wratten G.

Does anyone know what this is for? I'm thinking it may be a color compensating filter of some kind.

Thanks, Les. That's what I thought. I think I'll see what it will do to B&W. Ha.

I'm guessing it will bring out the clouds, darken the sky, and soak up about 2.5 stops of light

That would be my guess, too. It looks like a darker, more orange/magenta version of a Wratten G.
