Yes, I second that choice. I have a Hoya 80B which I use for all types
of tungsten lighting with great results. It's actually made for photofloods,
but is lighter blue, you lose less light, and it gives a slightly warm look
to regular light bulbs, which I like. I figure with our own eyes, those
lights really do look warm, so it's more natural than balancing them neutral
like the other blue filters do.
