[pure-silver] Re: Provia and filters; was: Re: Re: Venturing into color...

Hi Jonathan,
The camera I'll be using for the 6x6 slides is a Perkeo II folder and I use a Kodak series VI adapter on it. I have all the b+w filters that I need, but for color, I only have a Tiffen Photar 85B and a Tiffen Photar 82C. Will any of these do for the slides or do they have to be an 81A or 85A???
Is the 1a & 1b warming filters available in series VI for use with the Kodak adapters?
I don't shoot much colour, so I am a bit ignorant on the subject of colour film or slide filters. 

Cheers,
Bogdan

The popular saturated blue sky look sometimes is a little over the top for
me. Besides a polarizer I usually carry an assortment of warming filters 1A,
1B, and some of the 81, and 85 series filters. At high altitude and in
shadows blue prevails.

I pretty much always use a polarizer with slide film - for me, Velvia 50. I have some Provia 100F but seldom use it. Landscapes & Velvia 50 are a match made in heaven! A polarizer is useful for far more than just deepening the blue of a sky, It makes foliage look like it is supposed to by removing the reflected blue from the sky. Basically keeping the flora & fauna colors true. Plus, you can always dial it back to the neutral position if you want to shoot without polarization help. I might as well weld a polarizer to my lenses since I take very few photographs without it. Even with B&W film.

Also throw a few rolls of slides in there too. I like Provia 100F and Velvia but there are lots of options there too. Its not hard anymore to get prints from slides so that problem isn't a big deal anymore.
When I go to Death Valley, I'll be bring along some Provia 100F and 400F. Are there any recommendations that can be made concerning useful filters for shooting slides? 

Cheers,
Bogdan
