Analog film photography and cameras

I was using a Voigtlander Bessa R2A, the film was Fuji Superia 400, and nah, I didn't/don't use filters. I imagine they'd open up a whole new set of possibilities for me (especially with B+W) but it just seems too much hassle.

I feel the same about filters, too much for my small brain to think about.

When I read Ansel Adams The Negative, it made me realise how much can be done to B&W with filters, but I have a long way to go learning about exposure in general, composition etc etc, before I try and complicate things further......
