mixed lighting (incand. and fluorescent), +1 EV. Used a Leica M6, 1M away on tripod. Lens were various 35-75 Leica, Pentax, Hexanon, and a Jupiter 8 here
That's very impressive in a mixture of incandescent and fluorescent lighting without filtration, is it the fourth emulation layer that is preventing the colour caste ?

it's a good film

Expensive, but with most any other C41 films, I get yellowish and greenish casts, so in this particular mix of lighting, the Portra 800 excels.

I don't know about y'all, but we done did away with the colored castes here...
