	I would recommend that you start with the Wratten # 12 yellow (minus
blue) that you have because that is the filter the film was designed for and
recommended by Kodak on the film spec data sheet. Anything stronger will
shift the colors more red. The film layers are sensitive to green, red and
infrared. If you start holding back too much green and you are left with red
& IR. Some people like a different color for special effects but you should
start with the normal and experiment from there if you wish to later.
