I have a little over a week before I have my new tubes and was reviewing the glycol tinting procedure. Does anyone have anything to add? How well does it hold up? Sources for ink? Now I am kicking myself for pitching all of those 07MS tubes. I do have one set left, but they are in pretty good shape and I am sure there will not be enough to fill the larger chambers.

Even better, if someone has LC hardware and colored C-Elements I might just go completely overboard.

If it was me I would just install color filtered HD-144 or HD-145 lenses with the required adapter plates and replace with fresh glycol. More bang for the buck but more bucks... Wink

When the MS 07 Tubes are simmilar to SD 187 tubes, there is a lot of glycol in there.
I do not understand the hype on filtered lenses. With glycol out of SD 187 tubes i got nearly the full SRGB color room.
Mabe it would be a little better with better glycol (the SD 187 i had in the moment seemed to be more colored but changing again is a lot of work).
In PC aplications i know that a "bigger" color room is not better all the time.
I know that sitting in the front of an adobe RGB screen, normaly all aplications without color management show me totaly overdriven colours. I don't know what is on blu rays? SRGB?
