Note that Lee doesn't use *gelatine*, but thin (0.1mm) polyester.
Calling them gel's is misleading....;-))

I have been pondering about mounting #12 for Ektachrome behind the
lens or shutter, like with a #87C for HIE....but somehow I like the
idea of a fixed color for this film way less than with
HIE....different filters for the latter affect the image only
gradually....with Ektachrome experimenting with filters is much more
fun because of the pronounced color differences....
