My recollection is something close to 20000K, but geographic location and
things (including my errant memory) might account for the difference...
Whatever, those faintly pink skylight filters aren't going to help a whole
lot.
I do own a 49mm 1B Skylight, from a time when I thought it might help a bit
more than I do now, and when I bought it, the salesman, an affable,
knowledgeable-sounding chap, made sure to warne me not to shoot slides with
it on, as "slides work the other way around - skylight filters come out
blue..." - I think I thanked him for his time, paid up, and never went
back....
Cheers
Andy

Years ago I tested a wide variety of warming filters in order to get correct
color balance in landscapes of sky lighted scenes. It takes a real strong
filtration to correct the cold color temperatures of skylight (above 10,000
degrees Kelvin is my recollection)!
