So I have owned and used the
17mm SMC fisheye takumar f/4 for a few years now and still for the life of me can't figure out what the benefit of the built in orange filter is. I got this lens because I wanted wider and on full frame never used it much but really like the more constrained wideness on APS-C so I have been using it more and getting results I like. The yellow filter I understand and have figured out how to use that, but the orange one I have no idea on.
So far the best picture I took with it was one of a sunset but there I got very little contrast in the clouds but a nice orange sky. I have a feeling this is not how it was meant to be used but would love to get pointed in the right direction.
