What is the proper filter to use to correct for that theater lighting? 80 series? What strength? I use an EOS650 if that matters. Ah, that is my EOS content ... -- Francis, Not off topic at all, you would need the appropriate filter for the lighting whether incandescent or fluorescent. I would assume incandescent lighting but each does burn at a somewhat different temperature so color compensation varies a bit. That being said you can use filters usually designated by CC30 with a letter following it to indicate type of light. You will lose a stop. You may be better of using a high speed B&W film like TMax3200. No filtering and no loss of speed. Peter K -- Or you could just shoot it and make the slight color correction in PhotoShop ... losing a stop of light at a typical school event would be bad as they are rarely well-lit.
