The primary use of the Rosco CalColor #4690 Red Filter is to filter light passing through a camera lens, reducing light intensity and creating a specific color effect in the resulting image. It's used in film, television production, and still photography to alter the color balance or create a specific mood.
The 3-stop calibration refers to the filter's ability to reduce the amount of light passing through it by three stops. This means the filter cuts the light entering your camera lens to one-eighth of its original intensity, providing more control over exposure and color balance.
A 90 density filter, like the Rosco CalColor #4690 Red Filter, is designed to adjust the transmission of color components at each light source in a reliable and predictable manner. This allows for selective control over an image's coloration as rendered by the film.
Yes, while it's designed with color film's spectral sensitivity in mind, the Rosco CalColor #4690 Red Filter can also be used effectively in digital photography to create unique color effects and balance.
The Rosco CalColor #4690 Red Filter comes in a 20x24" sheet, offering versatility for different lighting conditions and setups.

Although it didn't matter for the purposes it's used for, I was quite surprised and disappointed to open the package to find what clearly was a used item. The 2-ft.-square gel looks as though it was run over by miniature, very dull lawn perforator -- no holes, just hundreds of small, sharply-made dimples. And there are smudges, etc. Yet, someone went to the trouble of rolling it up into a mailing tube, which was further packed in an over-size box. The shipping department gets compliments; I don't know who at the store or warehouse failed to check the item. Anyway, these things happen occasionally, and Adorama has always been an excellent supplier. Yes, I would recommend them; we all make mistakes.
