Barry, I just had another lab reprint the Reala shots of a petrified wood
building I photographed at night under a mix of halogen spotlights and
streetlights (sodium or mercury, not sure), with a nice dash of moonlight
thrown in.
You may recall my whining a week or so ago that a local Walgreen's that had
always done good work for me before screwed up this particular batch.
Anyway, the reprints are *far* better. Colors are surprisingly neutral
under that mixed lighting, especially considering that most of these
exposures were 10 second to 1 minute in length.
I also took some daylight shots of the same building on the same roll for a
baseline standard.
I'm definitely a happy camper with Reala. (Obligatory OM content - all were
shot with the OM-1, 50/1.8, 50/3.5 and 75-150/4. For the record I cannot
tell the difference in resolution and contrast between photos taken with the
50/1.8 SC and those composed identically using the 75-150/4. It's a darned
good little zoom.)
I'll try to get some samples posted in the next day or two.

If it were me I'd probably just pick up a #30 Magenta filter, leave it in
the bag, and then proceed to just use whatever daylight color film I had.
At the moment, that looks like what I'll be doing. My wife has
informed me that none of the local print shops bidding on the project
would know what to do with a transparency (my preference) if it bit
them, so I'll be shooting print film and let the lab worry about
color temp.
