Hi ML users.
I'm shooting a couple of interviews in a large factory building lit by horrible overhead sodium bulbs.
I'm going to filter my tungsten lights to try and get close to the sodium as possible so that the subject looks fairly well matched with the ambient lights.
I'm going to use reds, as I will need to filter any light, and these have the most punch when the floorspace / situation allows.
I've checked my mired shifts and gel numbers and picked up the appropriate sheets from Lee today (went for Tungsten to Urban Sodium and enough CTO to double up two heads)
Using the manual WB on camera today with a grey card, my RAW conversion is rating the lights at 2000, but there is still a very slight orange cast, nothing that a bit of 3 way CC won't be able to make reasonable, but I don't really want reasonable, I want right.
I reckon that putting the urban sodium gel over the tungstens is the closest but I reckon this is maybe 1800k or therabouts, so my question is...
... does anybody who uses ML know if you can get beyond the lower CT limit that canon impose (seems to be 2000k) with ML installed?
I'll shoot with a greyscale card in the header reel for post balancing anyway, but I like to get it as close to right in the can, if I can.
Many thanks in advance.
