White Balance Filters

[daveyuk]

I found this little nugget of info this morning.
On further searching I've found them at Warehouse Express with a price range of between (58mm) £57.99 - (82mm) £91.99 depending on size.

ExpoImaging today let us know that their very useful ExpoDisc Digital White Balance Filters will soon be available in Ritz Camera and Image stores nationwide as well the rest of the Ritz Camera family and online. "The ExpoDisc design enables it to receive, scramble and transmit light from a wide angle in front of the disc through to the camera’s image sensor for a faster, easier and more accurate white balance correction. This produces excellent results, even in mixed light."

Hope it helps.

Very much a pro's toy at those prices though.

A bit of overkill I'd think, especially if you shoot in RAW. Also it appears you have to take a custom white balance shot with the filter in place, then set the WB from that.

A Pringles lid is a lot cheaper.
