I'm sure that this kind of info is interesting to many LUGers. best of colour-corrected light, Alistair - -----Original Message----- From: B. D. Colen [mailto:bdcolen@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 1999 7:54 AM To: Leica-Users@Mejac. Palo-Alto. Ca. Us (E-mail) Subject: [Leica] Need Technical Advice Help! As an almost exclusively B&W available light shooter I need some technical advice - and it might be best to just Email me off-list to avoid starting an endless thread/pissing contest.. :-) What is the "best" high-speed (400 to 800) color neg in terms of producing the most realistic skin tones in a) florescent lighting; b) florescent and incandescent mixed; c) florescent and daylight mixed. And, assuming that the colors will be off somewhat, how difficult is it to have the skin tones corrected in printing by a custom lab? Thanks in advance for help with such a newbie kind of question, but my use of color film has for the past 40 years pretty much been confined to either straight daylight, or just taking "happy snaps" where I didn't care about color balance, etc. B.
