I would be interested in the results (of Ektachrome 100 SW + blue filter in tungsten lighting), since my subjective response to tungsten-balanced film in tungsten light, and normal daylight balanced film with the appropriate blue filter (80B) in tungsten light, all seem to compensate too much and the result is colder than I really want. Making indoor electric lighting look like unpleasant cold daylight that miraculously emits from domestic lighting fixtures is not so clever, I think! I'm going to be experimenting with weak blue filters soon and see if I can get something more like what I want. Er, with my M6, of course. Joe Berenbaum
