Comments about Nikon SZ-2TN Incandescent Filter for SB-900 / 910 Speedlights (replacement):
This is a great way to balance light from a flash (which is bluish in color) with the yellowish/yellow-orange color of most indoor lights. Just set the camera's white balance setting to either "Auto" or "Tungsten". The resulting images will have much improved natural colors.
Don't expect 100% perfection as some indoor lights simply have a wild mix of color variations, but using this is much better than shooting with a bare flash.
This attachment will reduce flash power a bit, so it may be necessary to manually dial-up the flash exposure compensation a few clicks if your camera is unable to compensate automatically.

It's harder & more time-consuming to turn on a light switch than to take this gel on/off.
If we could only get Nikon to make DSLR's that were so trouble-free...

Not much to be said here!I Own three Sb-900s, and was lazy to balance the light color before using provided gels because they are annoying to use. These are easy to use and durable! Worth the money for sure.
