Unless you like the look an 81a or other orangey filtration gives you black and white fleshiness. Pasty! Pale lips. No freckles That is why i had to come up with a more flexible system than ones using tape. I attached an 81a gel to the UV filter for the Vivitar flashes. This slid in and out the holder with no problem. Warm flash is nice becuae as the background cools it enhances the feeling of distance. in color.
