Hi Again,
Me here with "another" post regarding lighting for daylight film. Does anyone know if there will be any poor color quality on daylight balanced film if I use 5000K tubes I found available in a local Wal*Mart? I'd need only four which would only put me out $20 bucks which is better than plunging into a tungsten lighting kit (~$150 or so). All the other equipment (tripods, lenses, etc.) I've got and know really well how to use! It's just the lighting now...
If I remember correctly daylight film is balanced for 5500K, these tubes are 5000K and I haven't got a clue if the difference of 550K in temp. will make a difference. Further, all this worrying of mine might be moot since the photos will have to be scanned anyway!
Oh well...thanks again all of you...
Fred
