My uncle says I should just give up on film because all my film photos seem to have a blue cast. I think his monitor is off. What say you?

Film was Kodak 400 (all I could find at the moment, not my usual Ektar 100), camera was Leica IIIf with 50/2 Summicron.

No here as well, on two different calibrated monitors, and using the color picker tool in gimp on the white of the boat gives me values that range around R229, G225, B221, so, no.
Can I vote three times 'no' in the poll?

I used the Digital Color Meter in the Mac Utilities averaging 9 pixels on the white casserole dish sitting on the table and got R=239, G=239 and B=239. So another "no."

Obviously not a blue cast as all the neutrals are not affected but Kodak transparency film has a filter in it's composition to enhance the blue skies and seas, maybe that is what he is seeing ?.
