Zacary Caine Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I've been reading up on this filter and correct me if I'm wrong, its for shooting indoors with daylight stock, right? If I am right, here's my second question. Is it necessary to have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted May 16, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted May 16, 2017 It's less commonly used since you lose 2-stops with it to convert tungsten to daylight balance and tungsten-lit situations tend to already be lower in level than daylight-lit situations. Let's just say that I don't rent one regularly unless I plan on shooting day-for-night on daylight stocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton Lee Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 In this old Vimeo at the 9:20 mark, the photographer uses an 80A filter on 500T, so I guess doubles up on the Tungsten (?). Ends up very blue and very much day-for-night. I can't say I often hear of situations where people have to use daylight film in a tungsten situation.
