<p>First question: Exactly what Fuji film are you using, e.g. type and color balance (daylight/tungsten)? Second question: What do you mean by "not right". Is it too green, too blue, or something else??<br>

The Interfit F5 has a color temperature of 5600K, roughly the same as daylight. However, some fluorescent bulbs produce strong spikes in the green part of the spectrum, even though they average out as normal daylight.<br>

The wide angle lens without a filter thread could be a problem since there is not an easy way to mount a filter, or a gel filter holder to the lens. You could consider getting gel filters and just holding them in front of the lens.</p>

<p>I think first of all, you need to be a little more clear maybe about what you're aiming for. Do you want an exaggerated filter, are you trying to capture the most "natural" lighting you can, etc? I'm not really sure if you're just taking the photos for hobby or.. ? I would suggest trying to get more natural lighting, though. It sounds like the florescent kit you're working with isn't right for what you're going for. It's probably not extra equipment you need as much as it's balancing your lighting and settings. </p>
