The deep blue filter KB 12 blocks so much red, or-
ange and yellow that it increases the color tempera-
ture of very bright halogen and special photoflood
lamps (of around 3400 K) to that of daylight. With
that kind of illumination, and with daylight color re-
versal film, the subjects will be reproduced in their
original colors. With weaker halogen bulbs or stron-
ger incandescent bulbs in conjunction with this filter
and with daylight reversal film, a residue of "warmth"
will be retained for an optimal mood in interior pho-
tographs. Its filter factor is approximately 2X.
