I also used #5 blue mostly and daylight film, mostly transparency films. I also designed a custom flash gun that had a tilting head calibrated to center on the object with Rolleinar 1 and 2 close-up lenses. For distances beyond flash range, I used a CC 20R or CC 30R filter in the Rolleimarin turret which could also hold one of the two close-up lenses. They helped a little, not creating any more red light, just cutting down the blue-greens. Now with PhotoShop it should be a different story. --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
