Comments about Rosco Roscolux Swatch Book, Small Sampler of Almost Every Filter.:

I bought them to try out various colors for whatever use. However, to see the results, I need to fire a flash through them, and they are too small. The spill dilutes the colors. So, no real use to me.

Great for flash photography. There are a lot of materials you can find online for its proper use.
Balancing and shifting colors is what I used that for. Be aware you prob. going to use a convention chart to identified them if you are used to a different nomenclature.
