Bought these for a workshop but did not use them. I think the value is there. Certainly not something one wants to drop.... you'll never get them back in order.

Used the CTO's and Plushgreen for tungsten stage lighting and florescent offices. White Balance is perfect. The size strips fits the holder for the Canon Speedlite 630. Besides the correction gels, there are many in the pack for effects.

Great selection of filters for under $10. Case is a pain to open, but you get what you pay for.

First time buying gels. Will be using for white balance and effects. You 55 gels when others sell only a few for similar price. Great value even though I probably won't use all 55 gels.

Just be careful with your Speedlite and don't set it to full power and 105 by accident like I did! Almost burned a hole in one of them!

wide range of colors and saturation. compact ,not even noticed in my camera bag.so i always have them with me if i decide to add my own color to the subject.i tend to leave the larger studio jells at home. they easly fit and stay under the wideangle diff.of my hotshoe lites and the metz 45 ct2 and 60 ct2 without the need of an additonal holder.

I got this product from reading a blog posting by David Hobby "strobist" I was afraid of off camera flash and adding Gels to balance color. but tried it for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised. now i have less to do in Photoshop white balance correcting and more time shooting shooting

This kit is awesome. Anybody shooting speedlight flashes should own this kit, if only for the CTO and quarter CTO gels. The other gels do get some use when I want creative background colors, but it's mainly just the CTO variants that I use. In fact, I keep a full-CTO gel gaffer-taped to my primary flash head at all times, just in case. I simply move it from the flash lens to the side of the head as needed. A 1" square of gaffer tape (or masking tape) at each end of the gel secures it quite nicely. I use the quarter-CTO gels a lot when I'm shooting people outdoors, just to warm up the skin tones a wee bit. The reason I docked one star is that the kit contains only a single full-plusgreen gel for working with fluorescent lights. These days, fluorescent lights can be all sorts of colors, and I really need more flexibility when working in a fluorescent-lit room. It would be great if this kit had 3 each of full-plusgreen, half-plusgreen, and quarter-plusgreen. Sadly, the only alternative seems to be buying a full 20x24" sheet of quarter-plusgreen, cutting my own gels, and stacking them as necessary.

I use this product when I am doing night painting. Small and easy to carry covers a small flashlight perfectly. The small filters make it easy to change colors in the field

Got these gels to enhance color of flash strobe. worked with older Vivitar 180 and newer Olympus FL36R. although it has 55 parts there are a limited number of colors (10?). Putting on multiples filters out unwanted color more. Low Tech, but works.

While this collection includes very few corrective gels, it has a nice collection of colored gels for background use. The set I bought came with a LumiQuest gel holder so that it was immediately usable.

Its a great product for that price. I love it. The only thing missing is the holder. So I had to do a small work around to make it work!.

Searched for the rosco filters in other online stores but adorama gives the best value for your money with fast and reliable shipping and easy returns!

I am just getting into off camera flash and gelling strobes. This kit is perfect for the beginner--low price, easy to attach (with a little gaffer tape)and works like a charm.

Works great. You get a wide variety of filters at a very cheap price. My only wish for improvement would be to have the two ends elongated so those can be taken to the sides of the flash and held there with some kind of elastic bands. I have stuck electrical tapes to the sides of the filters and folded the tape (so that the sticky side is covered with the same tape). Now I have two permanent tongues extending from the sides of each filter which I can push under an elastic band which is always there on my flash. Now I don't have to worry about carrying some kind of tape and keep sticking tapes on my flash leaving sticky marks on my flash.

I like this product. You really do need to have the filter holder, and I am glad the kit I purchased came with one. Try it, you will like it.

This is a great tool everyone should add to their collection. Just try casting a little color on a subject and play with it. I'm sure you will love the results.

This was the perfect item for a project I was working on. Only needed it once but have now used it several times. Works great. Shipped on time. Cant beat the Adorama price.

This is a nice assortment of gels that will probably last me for years to come. I did note that one of the gels had printing accross it. Evidently, these are trimmings from larger gels?? It did not hurt it's useage, though.

Great set of colors, they are a bit short for attaching velcro without modification but one reviewer posted a good solution: laminate the ends with clear packing tape, extending the gel, and put the velcro on the tape. I personally have only used them a little bit, but tape worked perfectly fine when I attached them to the small lip just above the flash window on my sb600's that holds the built-in diffuser. That gave enough distance between the gel and the flash head to keep the gel from melting. I would not put ANY brand of gel right against the flash head, ever, because of the intense heat. Whoever melts these is probably doing something wrong. There are plenty of DIY tips for making a holder for this kit online as well. It's a cheap option to try colors and get into corrective color and artistic lighting, buy it! I personally only wish they were longer for attaching to the flash head, and easier to store, the container they come with isn't practical for easy use.

I like that it is small and has different colors to play around with.

Decent product for the cost. Would have been nicer if it would of came with a sturdy band to hold them in place for certain flash units. Good variety of colors.

Use the filters as light modifiers on my speedlights. Perfect for changing background colors or adding some interest to photos.

Im a very run and gun kind of guy when shooting models and adding a gel is a great way to ad diversity and creativity to a shot. I use scotch tape to place gel on flash. Gets the Job done fast. I would like to get the gel holder but tape does just fine.

These have square corners. I clipped off two with nail clippers to make the gels easier to slide into the Lumiquest holder.

Got these to filter my Nikon SB-600 flash. The color sizes are plenty big to cover the output of the flash unit, but don't leave a lot of room to attach it to anything. I used regular packing tape to "laminate" the gels so that I could attach velcro to them and the speedlight. After that, they worked great. If you use a flash in anything less than 100% daylight, you owe it to yourself to get these.

This is probably the best [$] investment in your photography if you own a flash. Even if you don't you can use these with some other small light source. Be creative and find ways to use these gels for things other than just painting a backdrop or color correcting light.

A real bargain, precut better than buying large sheets and cutting them.

This is a cost effective way to have a lot of lighting effects. The filters are small, but enough to fill your flash head. Be gentle and take delicate care with them and they will last.
