Having read here and other places about the problems of correcting the white balance in the RAW developer, for example correcting a tungsten cast by boosting the blue channel, and the resulting noise in the relevant channel, I am leaning towards using filters on my lenses to get the white balance approximately right, and then only making minor adjustments in post.
I have the Contax 645 35, 80 and 120 lenses, as well as a Hartblei 45, and so I am looking for a system of filters which I could reuse between these lenses. Does anyone have any experience in this area, and could recommend something?
I presume that since the purpose is to pre-correct the lighting, and not the lens cast or other factors, that the regular white shading files would be used, and not special ones matched to the filters?
Thanks in advance.
