80A filter

[BobPS]

Hi guys,
I have several questions:

Do you know where I can buy a 39mm 80A filter from? I try to find one locally, but even though other sizes are easy to find here, a 39mm size (for my 50 cron and 28 elmarit) is not available anywhere.

I shoot color with my M6, I tried B&W but find it's quite difficult, I just find it hard to "see" in B&W ... Anyway, my other question is: you guys who shoot color film (daylight film) under tungsten light indoor, do you use color correction filter like 80A, or do you correct the color (adjust the white balance) in post processing after you scan the film?

Thanks, bob

If you want to scan in any case, PP correction will do, too - even more so if you use CN film (where dedicated tungsten film was phased out ages ago).

New odd size filters cost a arm and a leg now that they are special order items at most shops. But CC filters are all over ebay for cheap.

You can get a 39mm to system VI or system VII (which is just a standarized lens size format) and then buy all the color correcting/balancing filters you need in those formats.
