    Not in sheets you don't. Probably simpler to get the conversion filter and deal with the massive light loss, at least that way you'll know you have fresh film.

    FYI I shot daylight C-41 for years under tungsten and never filtered it-just corrected in the print or scan.
    Thanks,

    None is currently made, none has been made for a few years now, all of it is becoming rare on the 2nd hand/expired market, and probably will never be made again .
    Viva la (remaining) VPL!

    I'd use Portra 160, then correct digitally in post. (I) would personally recommend OVEREXPOSING at least 1/2 stop to allow enough shadow detail to be recorded. This will also allow all the color layers to get a bit more "meat" exposure-wise.

    TEST TEST TEST. Not all "tungsten" filaments/bulbs will be the same balance. So an Eiko or Phillips in an Arri 2k might not read the same color balance as a 2k Mole Richardson, and these might be 250k different(or more) from a Lowel Tota-Light....
