Was worried that I would receive my big stopper with a strong blue cast, thus i emailed lee filters to enquire if their quality check had miss out certain filters.. but this is the response I got from them
"Hello,
Thanks for your email via our website.
All Big stoppers have a blue cast. The filter is not sold as a neutral filter but rather as a long exposure effect filter. The cast does vary slightly between manufacturing batches but all batches so far have been within a tolerance that is correctable in RAW processing. We cannot make a filter of this density which does not have a cast, but the blue cast that ours has is generally deemed to be the most easily corrected.
I hope this helps, if you need anything further please do not hesitate to contact me.
With regards

Guess we have no choice now, just a matter of how blue is yours.. Maybe we can compare. Upload you blue big filter pics using auto WB? I have not gotten mine yet, will do when i have..
Good luck, to me.. haha
