🎉 Unleash Your Inner Strobist!
The Rosco The Strobist Collection features a 55-piece Cinegel filter kit designed for professional photographers. Each filter measures 1.5x3.25 inches, ensuring a perfect fit for most shoe mount strobes. These filters can be easily attached using rubber bands or tape, and their design eliminates the common hole found in swatchbooks. With multiple filters of the same color, achieving consistent lighting across multiple strobes is a breeze. Plus, with a legacy of two Academy Awards, you can trust in the quality and performance of Rosco's Cinegel range.

Compact but highly varied set of gels.
The gels are thin enough and sticky enough (in a static electricity kind of way) to adhere underneath the built in diffuser in my YN-560 flash. If you are concerned about holding it in place because you're moving around, or it's windy, there are lots of ways to do that. I went low tech with rubber bands: it lets me squeeze my softboxes over the flash head without worrying that velcro fasteners are going to catch on it.There is a wide spread of different colors in this pack, with an emphasis toward blue, orange, and green - multiples of these colors (blue and orange in different shades) are included. When you stray away from these, the selection starts becoming more limited in number: in other words, if you are putting gels on multiple flashes and want the same color on all of them, choose carefully, or get one (or two) more of these packs to ensure you have multiples of the less common color you want to gel.Includes greys and blacks to drop your flash light level if you need to.The small plastic packaging it comes in is nice and compact, fits in a pouch in my camera bag and takes up hardly any room at all. I wrap rubbers bands around it so I can secure a gel on the fly if I'm worried about wind/movement/etc. The backing cards are very helpful for identifying colors, and for what a particular gel does. Very well thought out there.Overall, an excellent little gel pack to play with colors that includes several pieces of some of the most commonly used colors when compensating for florescent or tungsten light, with reference cards that explain what they're for, or what effect they will have (including Kelvin numbers, where applicable).

Strobist Correction Filter Gels
Received item on time and it was as the merchant described. I would have given the item five stars, except the little issue of how to attach the gels to the strobe unit. As a photographer, I have to find creative ways of doing things all the time, so this shouldn't prove to be too big an issue. One of the pros of the product is the large selection of colored gels in variations of densities. These are a great addition to any photographer's bag of tricks for location shoots. They are small, light, pack easily and very versatile. I have already used one for a warm-cool effect on an outdoor shoot. I am really happy with my purchase.Thanks!

gets the job done; value buy
I am using the gels with a Vivitar 285. My primary interest was the neutral density filters (to put off the need to do a mod to the strobe). With the set of filters, you get from 1/2 stop to 11 stops with 1/2 stop control (occasionally needing to jump a full stop, but not a big deal). There is no holder, but I fairly quickly fashioned one to go into the Vivitar's filter slot. I made a sandwich of two plastic pieces (similar to what the gels ship in and the same as the packaging you see for SD cards, etc.). Since the gels are a little smaller than the flash head, I made a cardboard frame to reduced light leakage. My holder hinges on one side (the long direction). So I just open it, set one or more gels inside, close it, and slide in the Vivitar slot. Works well. I think that this will also help with warping of the gels that another reviewer complained about. I've had no issues with mine. Yes, they *are* thin, but it's hard to beat the price. I'd like a better way to organize and manage the filters. When the gels arrive, they come in a small plastic container (which you'll see in the ad pic). Each gel has a sheet of paper listing what it is, so it's up to you to keep track once you start removing them.

worked as expected
Not much else to say, pretty straightforward product.

Colors the light, but that's the easy part
These gels come with lots of colors and duplicates (up to 4 for certain colors like the oranges and greens for negotiating white balance with multiple flashes), which is nice. Also, each gel has an associated paper slip that tells you the name and function of each gel. For instance it may say 1/2 CTO, convert 5500 K to 3800 K (and even shows a color transmission/wavelength histogram). I can see this being very useful, especially for the technically minded.A few drawbacks that made these difficult to use:-not long enough. These have to be mounted to your flash, but the length of these gels barely wraps around the front of my Yongnuo YN468-ii flash, making that wrap-around velcro-mount solution you see everywhere online *barely* possible. And it's a tight fit too, which could be negative since Strobist recommends leaving some room between the gel and flash area to vent flash heat. I can't imagine it would cost more than a few cents to add another centimeter of length to these.-no markings on the gels. The gels have these informative pieces of paper to tell you the name and color properties, but if the papers get mixed up with the gels, there is absolutely no way to match them back up. Perhaps the gels could be marked on that extra centimeter they ought to add; if not with all the information, at least a reference to a master sheet would be helpful. Again, I can't imagine this would cost hardly a thing. In the meantime, I've found that a fine-tip sharpie can label the corner without smudging or interfering with the light.My workarounds: I'm still experimenting with attaching these to my flash. So far, I think the best solution is to mount a TINY strip of velcro on the front edges of the flash. (Not on the sides, but on that tiny strip of black plastic that forms the frame for the flash area and holds the clear part in place.) By having these tiny strips on the front, I don't have as much concern about the length, and when I'm not using gels, I can also get my very tight-fitting flash diffuser to slip on. However I would no use the gels under my diffuser as it would be too tight. Instead, I would mount velcro on the front of the diffuser as well and add the gels to the outside. Similarly, mounting velcro on the front of the flash/diffuser would allow me to stack these gels if I wanted. The draw back to this setup is that there is very little contact between surfaces (for both the adhesive on the velcro and the soft/bristly velcro attachment itself), making security a minor concern. But these are virtually weightless, so unless they're knocked (or blown) too hard, I'm hoping they stick.Alternatively, for a completely removable solution without having to add velcro to either the flash or the gels (to save space?), I've also put a rubber band through 2 of those black metal "bulldog" (potato chip) clips. I can slip this onto the flash and pinch the gels on each side with the bulldog clips. Though while it's removable, it's also quite cumbersome to work with.Good luck.

mixed light solutions
When you can't turn off the fluorescent light and you know they'll clash with your strobe light, then set your camera to "fluorescent light" and put #3304 gels on your speedlight.This kit has 5 of those gels. Enough for five speedlights or you have some spares. Some special colors come in singles but you get 5 of each color correctors.You can make your strobes match the ambient light and your white balance becomes easy. Mixed color sources can ruin your images. Be mindful of the light around you and then change what you can.

ROGUEの方が良いです
ROGUEが各色1枚しか入っていないのと、急いで必要だったのでこちらを選びました。が、本当にフィルタだけでストロボへの固定は自分でなんとかする必要があります。100均でなんとかなりましたが、それなら100均のカラーセロファンでも良かったかと・・・。製品としての完成度はROGUEですかねぇ〜。
