Leica uv skylight filter mired correction?

Recommended Posts

For UVa filters the answer is no (except conceivably in some laboratory conditions not involving Leica lenses).

 

"Skylight" filters, which Leica don't sell, do very slightly "warm" the image and I guess this effect could be approximately expressed in mireds. But it would only make sense to do so if you're working with reversal colour film and a colour temperature meter - in which case you'd be better off with a set of proper colour conversion and correction filters.

Thank you for the information. I'm embarking into the world of color slides with a temperature meter and wanted to be sure. I can't see any tinting in the filter but I wanted to be sure.

 

Sincerely,

Hello Click,

 

Why don't you measure a white wall lit by sunlight reflected from a not too cloudy nice blue sky? White clouds only please. Do this between 10:00 & 14:00 on a clear day w/ your color meter reading both thru the filter & not.

 

Then you will know if & how much.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael
