Blue sky illumination is more blue than general "daylight", so for this film an 85B is too blue. You need to add a filter to warm it up.
There may be an "85" filter that could do the job alone, but I don't know of it.
In days gone by, we were used to encountering a variety of tungsten light sources, and picking films to match.
Hmm this may have been a type for possible making an interneg? Maybe that's why it's not totally "standard" Tungsten?
Thanks.
As for the other answers, wow that second reply was depressing....
Also, I don't do "correcting it later in Photoshop" I get it right in camera.
Also I'm betting the film is just fine, it's not that old and it's slow, and has been frozen almost its entire life.
We shall see... Now I need an 81A in 77mm
I read it that it says use a colour temp meter...
And then suggests if you don't have one.
use one filter for diffuse white cloud
two for middle of death valley zero cloud
It is a film for fash girly mag photos where the color accuracy was uber critical and the printer would be given the materials to match exactly with a grey card in shot to be cropped.
I found that some people had perfect colour like perfect pitch and could detect colour film errors weeks later when they saw the rush of their wedding shots.
Do they use colour temp meters on cine shots?
This is/was a transparency film - not an internegative film.
You were expected to either project it, view it on a light table, or submit it to your client for their needs (think brochures or bus stop ads).
It was fine tuned to 3200K tungsten illumination. Which is to be contrasted with tungsten illumination of slightly different colour temperature.
When this film was current, one could go into a high end photo supplier and choose between photo floods of different colour temperature.
The 85B filter is exactly matched to films which were intended for photo floods and other tungsten sources which are/were of a slightly different colour temperature. Quite possibly, Kodak vs. Fuji materials.
And as for APUGuser19's post, you too Stone might become old and jaded with change over time. Or maybe not
Jaded? No. Disappointed, yes. I wish that was still the technology today. Unfortunately the film is now outdated ebay junk with no new film being offered. Here I am at my age studying real estate because this business now belongs to the Computer. Computers and digital cameras are NOT photography. You can quote me on that. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.I didn't leave the business. It left me.
Yes they do have color temp meters on movie sets, definitely, they have to match color perfectly between scenes, days, angles etc.
Thanks,
CDU II is an E6 film and is for making internegs isn't it?
