A: The Tiffen 82mm FL-D Flourescent Glass Filter for Daylight Film is designed to prevent color casting on color film, and is unnecessary for digital cameras such as the Canon 5D Mark III. To avoid color cast from flourescent lights with your camera, simply change the white balance to flourescent lighting.

Q: 2. Using flash outdoors (flash dialled 1 stop brighter than sun), id like to reduce the blue saturation of the ambient daylight (in a colour image, not B&W) will this filter reduce/mute/gray the blue saturation? If anyone has tried this, can you please direct me to an example image? Thanks everyone!

A: Colored filters are usually meant to be used to change the contrast in black and white photography. If you were to use a yellow filter while shooting color, the whole picture will have a yellow cast. The best way to reduce the blue saturation would be to either overexpose the sky, or ideally in post production you can under-saturate the blues.

Q: 3. With daylight film in mixed incandescent lighting, how does this filter differ from the cooling color conversion filter grades?

A: This Tiffen 55mm FL-D Fluorescent Glass Filter for Daylight Film will remove the green cast of fluorescent lights. With multiple type of lighting filtration can be tricky, I would filter for the dominant light source and err towards what I believe would look most natural. i.e., warmer skin tones would look more natural than green or blue skin.
