Hi Greg,
It has been commented on the link you give, that your result is bluish.
You may have set the camera to daylight but I would suggest you use an external filter instead using the internal one.
However, although some commentators mention Filter 85 to be used, I would suggest you to use 85B instead, for 64T.
I have tried to use 85 but the bluish tone is still noticeable. I prefer with 85B which give a better result especially t skin tone.
It has been discussed here about 85 vs 85b and some screen shot also available in this forum. External 85B is only $5.
But since 100D is now on sale, of course, it is better to use it for daylight shooting, anyway
regards

Greg,
Although you have a good camera and also follow my instruction with 85B, but the final result will heavily depend on the lab.
Today, it is only few labs left in this world.
And I have a feeling that old labs gave much better result compared with today's. Dwayne in Kansas (USA) is the best one, but still I didn't get what my parents made in 1980s.
It can be seen from many Ebayers who sold someone footage from Kodachrome stock or Ektachrome which many of them show a very natural colors.
I used Kodachrome now (my last batch) and the result from Dwayne was not that top notch.
Here is a screen shot from the old footage, and super 8mm supposed to be like this:
Ebay Link
The film was taken by amateur, nothing pro, but you can see how beautiful is that.
Here is some pictures taken from the above link for future reference, once the Ebay link above expires after 3 months.
But I cannot longer get that result now.
