Filter Help.

I recently was handed down a Canon FTb by my uncle when he caught wind that i was into photography, the kit & accessories are in mint condition, but i stumbled across an item in the happy hamper, a Hoya 58mm FL-Day filter.

Obviously i googled everything within the package to see its origins/when it was made etc etc, but i can't for the life of me find ANY info on an FL-Day filter, i was hoping 1 of you wise sages on here could shed some light on the subject for me,

thanks in advance =)

I googled it & found this:

"FL-D filters are used to correct the greenish tone that appears when daylight type films are used under fluorescent lighting. FL-DAY is for use with daylight type fluorescent lamps. It is recommended that auxiliary light sources be used when long exposures become necessary due to insufficient light.

Florescent lighting has characteristics that affect color rendition. This color shift is not usually visual to the human eye but will cause adverse effects on film. When shooting under "daylight" florescent your pictures will have a purplish tone. Hoya's FL-D filter corrects and restores a normal color balance. In industrial situations you might encounter "warm white" florescent which will give a greenish tone, requiring Hoya's FL-W corrective filter. Both filters are available in coated and multi coated (stronger flare prevention) versions and all popular sizes."

Dont know if thats what you wanted to know or not..
