After that you can correct from there or try another brand. Sing-Ray is a high end filter company with specializes in Fluorescent filters so maybe theirs is better. Most Pros use various magenta filters or filter gel packs. You walk into one K mart and your B+W FLd will make it look great, cross the street to the 7/11 and god knows what color that will come out. I'm glad I never had to do much of that stuff. Life's too short. Green skin tones are "in" now. Mark Rabiner
