warming polarizer and print film?

2004-02-27 Thread Mark Erickson
All, 

I've been using Kodak Portra 400UC for snapshots lately and am pretty happy 
with its color palette.  I'm thinking about using it as a general travel 
film and am wondering how it responds to filtering (as compared to slide 
film).  I have a bit of experience with filtration (e.g., ND Grads, 
polarizers, etc) and chromes, but I don't know much about how print film 
responds, particularly to warming filters. 

Can anyone comment on what kind of differences I might expect compared to, 
say, Velvia or E100VS? 

Thanks, 

Mark

i think they are mostly pointless for print film unless you are talking
tungsten vs daylight exposures, and even then, a decent lab should be able
to correct away most of the difference. if all you are talking about are 81
filters, there isn't any point. maybe if you used 85 filters all the time,
but even then i think it is marginal usefulness.

Film is film is film.
It will respond pretty much the came as slide film.
Whether the final print shows this is kinda up to the printer to a
degree.
