The camera corrects nothing when you shoot raw and then filtration can be done in post.

The world's best light meter is right on your camera.  It's

quick-connect filter device required.

Not for flowers and other subjects that can go out of gamut during
the raw conversion process.


Aye, there's the rub.  And it's not just flowers.  As I found back in
the lengthy thread about digital B&W, these digital cameras are
making adjustments to what is recorded instead of recording what we
are seeing, as would a film camera.  The result of that is I now only
take colour photos, correcting for the overall light temperature with
81 or 82 series filters so that the camera is less apt to make
corrections by way of its "opinions", especially with B&W.
