If you shoot color negative, You should try Kodak Portra 100T (T=Tungsten
light). it's really excellent stuff. Available in both 135 and 120 formats,
but might be difficult to find (go to professional stores).

It won't be slower than putting a Kodak Wratten 80A
(-2stops, full correction 3200°K light>>>daylight neg).

80B (3400°K>>>5500°K; -1.2/3stop) will give you warmer but very acceptable
skintones.

If you have a mix of daylight (windows...) and artificial light, 80C
(-1stop, correction from 3800°K light to daylight neg) is for me the best
compromise, very easy to correct up to your personnal choice while printing.

BTW Hoya, Tiffen... have such mounted filters.

Good luck!
