  • Hello,

    thanks for the great write up. Have you tried using this cap with a flash? I found that in normal conditions without flash is ok but with flash it makes the scene all blue....



    let me know what you think



    cheers.

  • Great review, this has helped me a lot.



    To Johnny:

    Generally the flash will create a proper white balance so adding a custom WB will throw things off. At least this has been my experience

  • Instead of shooting the scene, shouldn't you put this where your subject is and point it back at you? That way you can determine the color of the light that is falling on your subject?
  • No, you want to measure the light that is being reflected back at you - it's not exposure you're measuring so you need to be where you will take the shot from and pointing at the subject - it fits over the lens of the camera obviously so you can't put it anywhere but where your camera is.
  • Thanks for doing this! Do include how well the cap fairs against a traditional white card in the future review too. I look forward to this test.

    Btw, do let me know if you are selling it. :D
  • I just found your website and its really great! I want to buy a white balance cap and was excited to see your review of the cheap one you found on Ebay but I saw the page of what your gear was and noticed you had Expo cap. Did you decide the Expo cap was far superior?
    Thanks.
