Kodak Vision 500T uncorrected in daylight?

[David Paul Carr]

Could anyone point me to reliable resources (or share experience) on using 500T unfiltered in daylight and then correcting in post?

I'm finding contradictory information, ranging from "massive latitude, easy to correct" to "rate at 400 or lower, some blue cast will always remain".

Many thanks!

As long as you expose it within a reasonable range, say +1 over it is usually able to be balanced to more or less normal. The daylight will overexpose the blue record faster than the red and green thus the blue skewed cast when shot under daylight.

I can't speak with authority here. But I remember someone saying that you should use a filter when shooting tungsten film in daylight, otherwise some of your colours will be wrong, even with a proper white balance in post.

My opinion: make your life easy, and use a filter.

An 85 is the correction filter for Tungsten under daylight it will balance out the tungsten stock to normal. They come in 85 and 85 with ND.

Michael Mann's "Heat" was shot in daylight without the correction filter on tungsten-balanced film.

I remember this. Loved it. It looks great.

Well, there you go. I think it's case closed.
