Ilford 906

[Fintan]

Any idea where I can buy 906 red safelight filters (any size)

New or Second Hand, it doesnt matter.

Thanks

Fintan

I have seen the ILFORD filters listed by RK Photographic.

Thanks Tom, I don't see them on their website but I've emailed them.

Yikes, they are fairly expensive. I think I will have to stick with second hand Tom but thanks for posting the info for me. Much obliged.

- Yes, but second hand filters may have faded...

See my post over at the 'other place' Fintan

I would do a safelight test anyway so not too worried about fading.

Thanks for your help Barry.

If you need to make one, here are the Kodak transmission graphs. http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/ti0845/ti0845.pdf

You can match them up with the transmission graphs for a $7 Rosco gel. It will work if you don't have any other options.

I use a disk of Roscolux #26 Red in my flashlight, but there may be others that would be safer.

Unless they export and fairly cheaply then a $7 Rosco gel might be difficult to come by in the Republic of Ireland :

Try Lee stage lighting filter gels.

How about six pounds (Lee not Rosco brand, though):

or four pounds :

Excellent info lads, thanks very much.

Exactly what I was looking for too though it took some time for me to find it.. Wanted to find a gel replacement for the Ilford 908 (Dark Green) safelight filter. Thanks everyone!
