		OK, I have a HOYA red polariser from my B&W film work a couple of years ago. This filter had the same effect as Ilfords SFX 400 B&W film.
 
 What is the effect on contrast after I convert my red-washed colour digital image to grey-scale?

 The effect should be roughly the same as shooting in full-color, then using the channel mixer to throw out the green and blue channels.

 And then, I presume, convert to greyscale after channel mixer.
 
 I figured you could do something like that, but wasn't exactl sure, and not sure of amount. The Red filter used give me a perfect amount of contrast boost.
 
 I suppose there's only one way to find out. pull the finger out and test it out.!
