It would take a darker filter to match the original shade because it appears all the newer stock (like everything else) is thinner. So it has to be darker to compensate. A friend of mine is a DJ and he had a couple of blue sheets that he was not longer using and it is the perfect match! it is thinner that the original but who cares it beats that washed out look!
