Questions & Answers

I bought this swatchbook to use with my speedlite, but I noticed that someone could remove the CTO gel? What makes him think he can get away with it? Isn't it tiny and cramped?

You don't get rid of them by yanking them out. You unscrew the screw in the post that holds them all together, remove them, and reassemble them in the same manner. Take a look at the post that holds them together; it's made of screws.

Is there a name for the color on the filters?

Good day, Alysa. Ben! Best wishes for the coming year! Between the filters on this item are white printed cards. The filters' name and color number are printed on the cards. The white cards in the image are used to separate the filters. I hope this information is useful. ) Frank - www. businessincolor is a website dedicated to business in color. com - www. mpps.

Has anyone else found it difficult to remove the filters? What's the best way to remove them without ripping the filter? Thanks for your assistance, guys! I ended up popping the top off with grip pliers that my father has. It is just a long rod that did not screw on. ?

I'm not sure if this is the proper way to use them, but keep in mind that they are intended to be samples. They just so happen to fit in front of a flash or a lens with a very small diameter. I use an exacto knife to carefully cut them out, and I store the loose filters in my flash case when they aren't in use. A new book of filters costs $12 or less, and a careful user can get months' worth of use out of it.

Is there a suggested wattage for these lights? The filters are something I'd like to use on my solar landscape lighting. ?

These filters are made for light sources that are extremely hot and bright (1000W incandescent). They'll fade with time, but for low-wattage lighting, they should last quite a while.

For a small flash, this is all you need
5/5

The color palette is fantastic! There are only two of them, of course. I only need three filters, but it's fun to experiment with the others when I have the time. It has the potential to give the image a very artistic look! br>The filters are about the same size as a standard flash gun (I use a Sony system, which is ideal for F56AM). Although the F58AM is a little larger, the filters can still be used). If you keep your filters, you won't need to buy any more in the future (and if you do, they're relatively inexpensive). br>The data for each filter is also appealing to me. This is extremely beneficial! br>br>Just keep an eye on the shipping costs. They can be overpriced at times (especially when it comes to items that are free). I held off on placing my order until I had other Adorama items to purchase, so shipping will be combined. br>br>Have fun with it - It's an enjoyable experience!.

The addition of an information card to each of them is ideal
5/5

The swatches are a little small, but they're perfect for what I'm doing with them. br>The addition of an information card on all of the swatches, with exact data specified in Nanometers, was extremely useful.

This is a fantastic set for small lights
5/5

This is a fantastic set for small lights. I've used it to bottom light photos, and the color gels work great. It also allows you to choose whether or not you want to purchase the larger size for full-size lights.

This Swatch book was purchased so that I could begin learning how to gel my flash guns, and it has been a fun and inexpensive way to expand my photography

With this incredible color wheel, we've been plotting for cosplay purposes. Now we have a clear picture of what we'll need for our LED projects. Thank you very much!.

A wide range of colors are available
4/5

This is great for using with Speedlights because it covers the unit's head and allows for color experimentation. The downside is that the UV and heat protectors were not included in the sample kit, despite the fact that they were once free to anyone who requested them from roscolux. Also, be careful not to go too flashy with these gels, as a few sequential strobes will cause them to warp and melt. I used a cardboard holder I made to hold them in place, and it worked perfectly.

I use these on my smaller flashes for photography and they work great
5/5

br>This is an excellent purchase if you want to experiment with lighting. br>br>I have white walls in my house, so I use these on my Yongnuo flashes to create a variety of color backdrops. br>These are a lot of fun to use; I'm not sure if that's what they're designed for, but they do the job! Buy them and have a good time. br>br>.

Nice, respectable, and reasonably priced
4/5

Amazon Prime customer who purchased from "BarnDoor Lighting Outfitters. " br>br>I didn't communicate with the seller in any way. Method of delivery that is both quick and simple. No issues with the seller have been reported.

It's actually quite inexpensive, and it comes in so many colors that even if one is lost, I can replace it with shades that are nearly identical. So I don't mind, but if you're looking for something professional and plan on working for a long time, THIS MAY NOT BE THE BEST DECISION FOR YOU.
