John, Foxy et al
I have a full set of 81 series (81A,B,C,D,EF) and I have used them all at
some time, but mostly use the 81B. I shoot Velvia slide film entirely and
I use these filters in early morning or late afternoon light to enhance
the already warm light. I also use the 81A when I'm polarising as
sometimes you get cold blue cast from the pol filter, particularly on a
winter's day when the sun is not as powerful. The stronger ones, like the
D and EF are great for beefing up a weak sunset, especially if combined
with a tobacco grad.
Because I use 6x6 as well as 35mm, all my warm ups are resin filters and I
got the whole set for £5 (roughly $8) as they were slight seconds.
If you were going to try a warm up, I think 81B would be the best one to
start with. Good for enhancing skin tones too if you're doing a bit of
portraiture.
