I am curious if anyone has tried this. I don't always use a UV protector filter anymore (gets in the way of the cokin), but I thought I'd buy one for my new lens for those rare times I don't use the Cokin. This filter sounded more interesting than a standard UV. Anyone try it?

B+W Conversion Filter KR ¡.5 Skylight SLIM MRC

This most delicate reddish-yellow conversion filter absorbs violet and some blue plus a minimal amount of green, but it passes yellow and red undiminished; the color of the light becomes âwarmerâ by ¡5 Mired. That is mostly the optimal amount for correcting the light blue cast in the shadows under a blue sky. It also absorbs UV radiation and hence it provides better sharpness. With color films and/or developing processes
that generally yield results that are too âcoolâ, this filter can be kept on the lens at all times. With this filter, skin tones in particular will be rendered more naturally. Its filter factor is approximately ¡.¡.

I think you'd save money by using a lens hood instead.
