I use this product all the time! If your not sure what it does, it corrects the white balance in your camara. i use a Digital SLR and before i had this card my whites were off. This is one of the best investments you can make for your camara.
Here is how you use it:
take a picture of the card (fill as much of the frame as you can).
set the white balance to custom
select the picture as the white balance and viola you have white, white. it truly is to simple to explain.
i rated it 4 stars because when they shipped it it crinkled one of the corners a little bit.
but other then that the card is fantastic.
when you buy one make sure you keep it handy, because you'll use it all the time.
Remember you want to make the picture as right as you can in the camara then hit the post processing for touch ups.

This is a simple gray color card printed on cardbord. It is sufficiently durable, but being paper in nature it is likely to get dirty. Also the finis is not as smooth as I would like it, would have been better if it was plastic. But for the price you cant complain.

I try to support local stores when possible, but my local camera store only had packages of 2 or 3 large gray cards. I like the small size of this card and that I could buy just one.

Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
I love the price. It also had a cardboard type background, which makes it nice and hard. However, the grey paper started to peel up early on in the game. I haven't had time to try to glue it back on, and I'm personally afraid of what it will do to the grey paper.

Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
With this a very portable/pocketable/'throw in the side pocket of the bag'able Gray Card. While I have used my full size card maybe twice since I bought it, I have already used this one in two weeks, more. And with that price I went back and bought another one to make sure I never leave home without one.
I use it for white balancing rather than exposure setting, and it has already saved me hours in WB correcting in post-processing. Throw it on the ground and take a picture of it once, and until the light changes drastically, you can batch correct all your session photos.
A gray card is a gray card, I suppose, but the size of Delta 1 "makes" it.

A bit small, but might be helpful in some cases. I much prefer a larger card and always use one.

Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
They say that good things come in small packages and that saying is certainly true when referring to the 4"x5" Gray card from Delta 1. Works as a gray card should and even comes with instructions on how to use it as a white balance AND exposure card.

Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
i take this around in my dslr bag whenever i leave the house. it is small enough to fit into any of my bags. if white-balance is important to you (it should be) then having one of these cards with you is a must.

Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
This grey card does what it's supposed to and it is small enough to fit in your camera bag. The only downside is the cardboard material, which makes it easily susceptible to damage.

Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
A gray card is a gray card. What else can one say? Only other thing is that the cardboard is sturdy and should last awhile.
Pros
- Inexpensive
- Small
Cons
Best Uses
- Color balance
- Exposure
Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
This compact gray card works well for color balancing as well as checking exposure. Its compact size is convenient and its low cost makes it a no brainer to throw in your bag when you head out to shoot. One click in your favorite image editing program removes color cast instantly.
Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
Great product. Just don't get it wet. I would keep it in a plastic bag. Not much more to explain.

Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
I take this gray card to all my sessions. It fits perfectly in my camera bag so I don't forget it... which I did with larger gray cards. I could have cut down my other gray card, but for this price... I figured it was worth it.
I'm very happy with it for setting White Balance.

Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
As I said in title, this cheap gray card is made by pasteboard by Detta Texas.Although it is sold sold for [$], that is absolutely not value for money.

Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
I use this card specifically for correcting my white balance. I was so tired of trying to eyeball white balance for difficult lighting situations, and this has been so helpful in getting correct color especially for skin tones. Easy, easy to use and small enough to fit in my camera bag. My only complaint is that it is relatively light-weight cardstock, but the cost was so reasonable that I can easily buy a few extra.
Pros
- Convenient
- Inexpensive

Comments about Delta 1 Gray Card - 4 x 5":
Used for difficult lighting situations w/ both film and digital cameras.
