Hi Guys!!
sorry for my very little English!
I've just bought my first two Ekta64T and I will use that, with my Elmo super110 camera.
I've got an 85C filter instead of 85B..do you have any experience?
Does this filter give me a too cold color temperature?
thank you very much...
Daniele

Your camera should have a built-in 85 filter already. You don't need an external one. The 85C will give a bluer image.
The "correct" filters to use are an 85 or 85B. But it really depends upon the color temperature of the light you have available. If you're shooting later in the day, in warmer light, say two or three hours before sunset, the 85C is good. It will counteract the orange tint of the light, by increasing the blue.
Check out this nomograph and play around with it. It's a visual description of what exactly is going on with filters and color temperature, and what fits what:
