Seth Baldwin Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Hi, For converting daylight balanced film to tungsten, what would be appropriate filtration? I’d expect it to of course be a cooler filter, probably something like the inverse of an 85/85b filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted November 20, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted November 20, 2022 The 80A filter… but you lose 2-stops of light with it, which is why no one shoots daylight-balanced film and uses a blue filter when shooting under tungsten to get a neutral image — they are more likely to use daylight film in that scenario because they want more orange out of tungsten or firelight. I think the only case where the 2-stop loss of the 80A would be acceptable is if you are shooting day-for-night on daylight-balanced film and want a blue cast and have a lot of exposure from sunlight to cut down anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
