A filter that will screw on lens and make B&W photos?
Screamin Scott wrote: No filter will do that. It has to be done either in post processing or in your camera ( if so equipped)....Back in film days, yellow & red filters were used to alter the contrast of B&W photos taken with B&W film...
The question is WHY would you want to do that with it being so easy in PP? Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I'm teaching myself more about how light works with our camera's sensors. Just curiosity working over time 
But in post processing depending on what you are using. You can take a RAW file and desaturate it then use your color channels and see how eac color effects the image.

Which now has me wondering about how well a red filter over one of those IR filters would work. Ah! I will have to try and do that sometime when Im not busy with something else in life.

Gotcha
Thanks for clarifying for me
