Yea, I never cared for Skylight anyway. During my infancy period on
photography, I didn't know any better and Skylight was what was most common
filters sold, so I had it on for many years.
Not knowing any better also meant negative film was all I knew, and I was using
B&W mostly, and there was no point of reference to compare color rendition.
After knowing more, that was the first thing I ditched.
