Ilford Mgfilt A/Lens 30x30cm GR4.5
Ilford Mgfilt A/Lens 30x30cm GR4.5 | A strong contrast grade for darkroom printing
Getting a more decisive contrast in a black-and-white darkroom print can be frustrating when the image still looks too soft. The Ilford MGFilt A/Lens is an above-the-lens multigrade filter for printers who want to control contrast during enlarging. Its grade 4.5 marking indicates a strong contrast setting, making it relevant when a print needs a firmer, more defined look rather than a subtle adjustment. The filter is intended for people working with multigrade printing materials and an enlarger setup that uses an above-lens filter. It gives you a specific grade to work with, rather than leaving you to guess at a general contrast change. If you’re learning to make deliberate darkroom adjustments, or refining prints that need stronger contrast, this is a focused tool for that job. It won’t replace careful exposure and test strips, but it gives your printing process a clearly marked contrast option.
Specialist Note
“Is grade 4.5 for a noticeably punchier print?” Yes—it’s a strong contrast grade, so I’d use it when a print needs more separation and definition, not for a barely perceptible tweak. Because this is an above-lens filter, position it over the enlarging lens when you want to apply that grade in your printing setup. The 30x30cm format gives you a substantial square area to work with; take care to position it consistently over the lens. It suits darkroom printers making contrast-led black-and-white prints. I’d make a test strip at this grade before committing to a full print, as the result may be stronger than you want.
