Regarding Super8 film I asked some experts for advice, but I'm still not sure:
When shooting INDOORS where the only light is sunlight, they all said to use the 85 filter anyway. But I shot a test roll with Ektachrome Vnf 7240 color reversal Super8 movie film (asa 125), alternately used and then didn't use the filter for several indoor daylight only shots, and the shots WITH the filter all have an reddish-orange tint (the actual color of the filter) to them; the shots WITHOUT the filter have a much more pleasing, natural color balance. (Flesh tones where a little pale, but can be corrected with makeup.) I'm confused, and afraid to waste rolls of film shooting in dim, indoor sunlight without a filter, and end up not getting a single shot. Help.
