Comments about ExpoImaging ExpoImaging ExpoDisc 77mm Digital Warm Balance Solution Filter for Digital Still & Video Cameras:

This disc is really easy to mount on a lens to take an accurate white balance setting. i like to do a custom white balance to insure that my colors are accurate. i shoot in variety of conditions to include gyms. the disc allows me to set my white balance whit no trouble at all. my colors are consistent and right on target. i also use a gray card, but the disc is often more convenient to carry around. i use the disk outdoors for portraits and when i shoot sports on a field or in a gym. i use a gray card when i am in my studio doing portraits. i also use a gray card outdoors when it is convenient to carry around. the expodisc is nice because it can be carried in my pocket.

Comments about ExpoImaging ExpoImaging ExpoDisc 77mm Digital Warm Balance Solution Filter for Digital Still & Video Cameras:

I recently took photos of artwork for a Gallery's catalogue of an upcoming exhibition. Had a lot of problems getting exact colour replication of the artwork - even with a gray card. Found out since about the Expodisc, got one and it is extreemly accurate. The Gallery want to print a book of all their collection - I feel very confident that I will be able to produce exactly each artwork.

Comments about ExpoImaging ExpoImaging ExpoDisc 77mm Digital Warm Balance Solution Filter for Digital Still & Video Cameras:

I had been using an 18% gray card to set my color balance and was happy with the results. The only downside to the gray card was the size and durability - it was difficult to pack and needed replacement every three or four months. I wanted something more compact and durable. I heard rave reviews of the Expodisc and decided to plunk down the 100 bones for a 77mm neutral version.

I've had mixed results with this item. It works adequately in bright, single light situations but in mixed or low light situations, my colors end up being too far off. I understand mixed light is a tough situation but I seemed to get more accurate color with my gray card. Sometimes the colors I get with the Expodisc are just so out there that I end up just switching the white balance setting to the predominate light source and correcting later.

I'd recommend a pass on the Expodisc and invest in some gray cards and a good white balance card.

When you compare the same image taken once with your cameras' AWB and then one taken with the Expodisk you will instantly see the improvement.
Not real conducive to photojournalism style of photography.

Comments about ExpoImaging ExpoImaging ExpoDisc 77mm Digital Warm Balance Solution Filter for Digital Still & Video Cameras:

The ExpoDisk is very easy to use on a Nikon D200. I shoot in different florescent lighting conditions and it can be a nightmare getting the correct white balance. With the ExpoDisk I get the corrections I need without having to fix it in Photoshop.
