B+W 67E 023 filter. What is it?

The two on the right are B+W light yellow 021 and dark yellow 023. The lower left is Heliopan Orange.

Your filter holder is neat. But I wonder if they collect a lot of dust between uses? I keep mine in separate closeable plastic holders that they came in.

The holder is good for use in the field. I only go out with that many filters when I shoot large format usually 4 - yellow, yellow green, orange and red. The holder comes in handy because all the other accessories I need to carry - meters, holders, focusing hood, etc., when space is valuable. Otherwise for smaller formats I just use a yellow or yellow green on the lens. Dust is a problem but I worry more about getting it on the holders. At home I can spray the dust off and return the filters to their cases.

Wratten gels in card holders, within a plastic case large and narrow enough, with only two or three compartments, sized to fit in a front or back zippered camera bag pocket, can keep down the number of glass filters in holders, which otherwise burden the photographer.

The gel frame holder for the lens is usually narrow affaire, and Cokin plastic lens fixtures, for each lens size you carry, can hold the gels in their paper frame holders.

Even if you only carry gel filters that you only use occasionally, for getting once in a lifetime shots, together with your basic glass or plastic filters, you're just that much more prepared for whatever scene presents itself to you.

IMO.

Most ND's are not in fact color-neutral, and most aren't their labeled density either. I always double check them with a densitometer. I've encountered ones .15 D off - a whole half stop!

Good idea metering the individual ND filters, I'll have to use my spot meter or enlarger/or ambi-meter which faces up, like the Minolta III, or IV, with an enlarger meter attachment.
