Originally posted by tuco I think the cool color cast from early morning light or warm late afternoon light is something you often want to capture instead of canceling it out with a filter. But old-school negative film color printing you could correct color temperature when making the print to a degree if you wanted to. And of course scanning color balance is a choice you get to make as well without filters. It's slide film where the first generation image is where you want to color corrected the most with filters. With negative film, it's all about the medium of the second generation image (eg print, computer screen)
So no filters for you then?
Me neither, but I was just curious. Seems like it's far preferable to adjust in PP than to have to live with the wrong choice of filter. The only issue I ever had with colour balance on neg scans was that Portra 160 on the sunny day Iceland shots (which was more than likely the vintage lens adding it's own colour cast). Other than that, it's never been a problem.
