85 with B&W

Post by Phil L »

Hello,
I just received 20 new carts of BnW 400 ISO from ADF Video in Belgium. I intend to process them by my own in negative, and invert them after in the computer.
My question is : did I have to use my caméra with or without the internal filter wratten 85 ?
I suppose i have to keep it off, but contrast would be better with 85 ? (at 400 iso, it doesn't really matter...)

I would keep it off and, to increase contrast, use a yellow filter.
Or a red filter, if you want really 'dramatic' contrast!
