For color film, the standard conversion filters are:
- 80 series: use this when shooting tungsten light on daylight-balanced film. It adds blue correction.
- 85 series: use this when shooting daylight on tungsten-balanced film. It adds amber/orange correction.
These are commonly referred to by their Wratten numbers, and there are variants within each series for slightly different strengths.
