Apparently the manufacturers of film have never managed to
make film as red and or green sensitive as it is blue sensitive.
So the spectral sensitivity is balanced across a band around
2800K tungsten.

As for filtration under the canopy my only concern is image
fidelity. For example I've photos where a trail of rock and
earth is less seperable from surrounding green flora than
I judge true to the scene. Dan
