Wratten 2a UV filter gel - where can I get one?

[Gupster]

As the title, I'm looking for a Wratten 2a gel filter that I can cut up into inch squares and use with the rear filter mount I've just bought for my Lumix 7-14mm.

I've come to the conclusion that the Wratten 2a filter itself is virtually impossible to get hold of and so I wondered if there may be an equivalent by another manufacturer? Or am I just looking in the wrong place?

I guess that it may be worth my while asking the same question in the "film" section but I though I'd ask here as well because of the greater traffic.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Mark. Is this for astrophotography or just as a slight warm up filter? If it's the latter, a gentle tweak in PP should do the job for you (or even a nudge in camera colour temperature if possible?) Somewhere, I have a Lee sample gel set so, if you can find out the Lee filter number, I might well have a bit kicking around and you'd be welcome to a square inch of it for a small donation to a charity of your choice (inc P&P!!!) Looking at Lee's site, it might be a #226 which is one of the ones I do have.
