At least four FLDs needed (3 of us in same >predicament). I have B+W CC20M, CC10M, KB6 and KR6 in 39 mm, 46 mm, 55 mm and 60 mm. I ordered them all from Cathay Photo in Singapore. They took ages to arrive, but they arrived. The CC filters are not coated. I selected the CC filters after extensive trials with Lee polyester filters cut into circles to fit behind (speak softly now) UV filters (or are they skylight?). I also took a lot of readings of commonly used lamps with a Minolta Colormeter. The CC filters are not cheap and everything in my camera bag has to justify its existence - hence the extensive testing before purchase. I found very few lamps that require CC30M. Some flouros require CC40M. In those cases I just let the snaps get a bit green - it often fits the scene. In a lot of night-time documentary work there is no one filter to suit all the lamps in use anyway. Malcolm Singapore
