Rob, I have never liked the fld's very much...I prefer using just the 30 m filter. If you use a 40 m you will have 10 too much magenta....will be pretty magenta. Have you tried the filter connection?? They pretty much have any filters you need. I have lost theri number at present but am sure someone else on list has it. ALso if you want to use a little flast fill go to a theratre company and get a full plus green and tape on your flash...this will match the green of the flourscents and the 30 m will knock it back out for ballanced slides. ALso is it absoutly critical you shoot chrome? If not shoot neg avaliable light and forget the filters, then find a good pro lab who can do a neg to slide dupe...works pretty well, if done right.
