Picareto Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Hello. In the first tests with the Lee #729 I didn't get the aerochrome sooc effect :( ....I don't know why! maybe it has to do with the white balance of the camera (I've tried many wb settings without success). So I decided to combine the #729, which I placed between the sensor and the lens mount, with other color filters. Using Kenko ya3 I got this beautiful and vibrant goldie effect by messing with the channel mixer and switching channels.... The day is cloudy and dusty from North Africa Link to comment

Christoph Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Can you post a RAW file of one of your scuba blue shots? Maybe its a matter of postprocessing? When I remember correctly -- White Balance is around 10000 Kelvin with these pseudo Aerochrome/IR Chrome styles... But yeah - never had luck with scuba blue either. Always used Peacock blue AND the chinese hot mirror. The resulting look is the same as IR Chrome... Link to comment
dabateman Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Its not just a lee 729 filter, but you also need some IR reduction filter. Did you use a Kg3 or GRB3 filter? The genuine kg3 is best at 2mm, but the GRB3 can work. Link to comment
Picareto Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 Shame on me...... i think i made a mistake and the filter i was using was the #730 !!!! ......in the swatchbook the transmission graph is found immediately after the filter and not before....holy God. Tomorrow i will try to use the correct #729 ....grrrr Link to comment

Christoph Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 It should work with both, but (if I recall correctly) peacock blue is much closer to IR Chrome - it may depend on the sensor/camera though... Link to comment
