Before that, Provia rocks!! I always use a KR3 (81C) filter when shooting Provia in daylight. I've never felt that I was overwarming things -- usually it is right on the money. Here is what Schneider's web site says about the KR3: B+W KR 3 [81C] This filter is strongly recommended for daylight photographs, especially in spring and summer with cloudless skies and clear air. It helps eliminate the strong blue tone and haziness which is produced by this level of ultraviolet light. Furthermore, it will reduce the unwanted blue tone in shadow areas with an overcast sky. Filter factor is approx. 1.2. -- Rolfe Tessem rolfe.tessem@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
