I have bought some B&W film and am going to try my hand at it, but I want a filter that will will give me a slightly darker feel kind of like a polarizer. But there are so many I confussed. What's the difference in the red, green and blue ones? I am leaning torwards a red one but it just comes from sample pictures that I have seen that I like. I want to cut down on glare so clouds have more detail...

Thanks Big Mike, I knew I came to the right place. Looks like the red to me...

If you want black skies and white clouds, you definitely want a No. 25 red.

Thanks Dave for the #. That's what looking for. Now which camera do I buy the filter for, I have four. But I'll figure that one out myself...

Buy the filter to fit the biggest (front threads) lens you have. Then if you need to...buy step up rings for use on the other lenses.
 
if you truely want black skys and white clouds you need to use a polarizer with a red filter. either alone rudeces this effect
