In digest 3442, Dr Dave writes, in part:

<< need tungsten film to compensate for the fluorscent lighting  >>


Umm, sorry , Dave, but no film truly corrects for flourescent lighting, and 
few filters work accurately.  Flourescent lamps produce odd spectra.  They 
vary with brand and style.  Even "Daylight" FL lamps don't meet the 
photographic definition of "daylight".  

Tungsten balanced film is meant for incandecent & halogen type lamps, usually 
around 3200K.
