I started shooting Provia with a B+W 81B filter, to help the cool tone of this film.
This turned out to be slightly too warm unless I shoot in deep shade. Then I got a Heliopan 81A filter and to my surprise this filter looks exactly the same as B+W's 81B!
I've done some more research and it seems that Nikon's A2 is their version of a warming filter. Is A2 warmer than 81A or at least less warm than 81B?
