Choices to cover most any lighting situation and duplicates of the ones you'll use the most.

Love the price. Ok, it's just plastic films but very useful. I have a Canon 430EX II flash. I found that I could stuff the filters inside a flash diffuser, or inside a home-made snoot. They stay put that way - no need for tape.

I took some pictures indoors under tungsten light - so I added the orange filter, and set the white balance on tungsten. Wow - what a difference. Usually the subject of the photos have that deer caught in the headlight look (washed out, and different color than everything in the background). Now everything matches... perfect.

Really great small kit of colors. A practical selection which seems well thought out, however, they could have left out the ND which I'll never use. Happy to find the kit includes multiples of each, and each with its specific chart. Dimensionally large enough to cover the entire flash lens, unlike the Rosco samplers we've all seen and thought about using. Good for dramatic background lighting.
Rosco product quality is extremely good. Their gels are consistent, very well engineered and seem pretty durable.
Glad I bought this kit and will get another when I lose enough pieces from this one.

they are great to add color or correction to your flash and and very durable .... keep the case and tie it with a rubber band to make sure they do not open and spill all inside your bag

I don't really need these gels too often but they're sure fun to play with, especially in combination with the Morris mini strobes. I'm looking forward to more creative shots by combining these gels with various white balance settings.

I use these products to match my speedlite flash temp to the other lights in the room, as well as special effect and or accent lighting.

Fun to use and work very well.

Nice addition to my arsenal of photography tools.

These are perfect for light painting. I have not used them for the intended purpose with a flash, however the information that came with each filter is very educational. I have already recommended them to friends. Happy Light Painting!

when you are doing bounce flash and it is just the wrong color these really fix that problem

This kit is an inexpensive way to get started using gels on small flashes. Changing the color of your strobes really adds a new dimension to your images. My only criticism would be that the gels could be a little larger. When putting them on a 580 EX II, they barely cover the entire face of the flash. Still, compared to buying a swatchbook with holes and only one of each gel, this kit is a good choice.

Great but don't deforms with setting up the flash .Maybe because i'm a rooky

Nice selection of common gels.

they fit perfectly on my flash and plenty of colors to get creative with light

If you are looking at this product then you already know what it is. Just buy it already and get it over with. Better yet, add the gel holder to your cart as well, and dont forget the speed strap to attach to your camera.

Its not something you use every day but its something you need in your bag if you want to make decent pictures into great pictures, correcting for light and adding color to you scene. Its one of the cheapest pieces of equipment you can buy and can have a large impact on your photos.

Great assortment of colors... all come with different hues which makes it quite impossible to NOT make the right color adjustment. Great product for a very reasonable price!

Great for matching flash to all kinds of ambient light and for creative effect.

Anyone who does flash photography in any conditions other than noon-day sun and wants their photos to look more professional than a standard point and shoot quality, needs this kit. I've been working primarily indoors, at bars, clubs, concerts and other similar venues where lighting can be all over the map, but with this kit, you are truly covered. If you want your subjects to have skin-tones that look natural and not washed out relative to the (almost always) warm incandescent background, you have to color correct your flash and this kit offers all the different grades of color correction you could possibly ever want. I've also used the pale gold special effects filter to get a more flattering skin tone in more standard lighting conditions, as well. The only drawback with the kit, is there are no markings on the gel strips. I took a pen and wrote what was what as I unpacked them, so I won't drop them all at some point and get confused. All in all, this is an essential product with a fairly minimal price, considering how much it can elevate the quality of your photos.
