5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun!, May 2, 2008

By	F. Knoph (Norway) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This gel set is of good quality, comes in a handy folder and are a great fun to use. There are basically two ways to apply these. The first is to get your flash to match the ambient light, and the second is to get creative and experimental. While the first is very useful, the second is great fun! Putting on gels and playing with the white balance setting can create some wonderful results.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, April 2, 2009

By	John A. Fugel "Crab Lover" (Roanoke, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a devoted Nikon shooter (35+ years) and have used just about every Nikon accessory at one time or another. These filters are great, but I think Nikon is charging way too much money for an item that you can make cheaper and faster (and more durable and useful) yourself. I use an 8x10 sheet of Lee filters and cut out individual pieces. Add a little velco (available the Dollar Store) to the top and bottom. Use it with a Honl (www.honlphoto.com) velcro speedstrap on your SB-900, 800 or 600. Honl offers these filters too, but it's so easy to make them yourself, why spend the cash?
I've used both color balancing and colored filters on a wide variety of photo shoots. I shoot a lot of high-tech and telecom equipment and I often use a color filtered speedlight behind the equipment rack - adds drama and clients love the look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flters for Nikon SB-600 and SB-800 Flashes, March 10, 2008

By	Paul Garland - See all my reviews

What if you are using a strobe to take pics in a room illumitated by fluorescent or incandescent lights? The color of the subject lit up by the flash is fine, but the room color is wrong. Put the correct filter on your flash to correct this.

Or get artistic with the red and blue filters.
