5.0 out of 5 stars Pay $100 or $1400! Pick one, October 19, 2007

By	A. Harris "fotog" (Cincinnati, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own a 30D and was spending too much time in photoshop correcting the white balance on ALL my photos! Even though this is my first SLR of any kind,I don't use any of the automatic modes. I'm learning how to use all the creative aspects of this camera. I didn't know anything about color temperature. The factory default was 5500K, so I left it there & used AWB & the daylight setting. I mostly shoot during the day or before sunrise. ALL of my photos had a bluish tint!......Out of frustration,I surfed the net for an answer & stumbled across the expodisc. I immediately ordered a 72mm filter to fit my 28-135mm. WOW! did it ever make a difference!! I now keep my white balance on the custom setting for ALL my pix!

I suggest you go to their website to read the full explanation,testimonials from pro photogs & also see some before & afters. Then come back to Amazon to buy because it's cheaper here. I would also suggest that you get the expodisc that fits your biggest lens. I wish I would've bought the 82mm instead because I plan on buying the 16-35mm ii in the future. Even the video that comes with it suggests that you buy the disc to fit your biggest lens. You just hold the expodisc against your lens & take a shot. It doesn't need to be attached. You can see a short video of it on you tube,which is where I first spotted it.

Before finding the expodisc I had looked into a color temperature meter. It's $1400 on Amazon!!!!! A good light meter is over $1000.00!!! I'd rather spend $100!!! The best thing about this tool is that it helped me to understand color temperature. My pix had a bluish tint because the color temperature was too low at 5500k for daylight. With the expodisc, that same picture had a color temperature of 6800k! The colors were stunning & I didn't have to do any post processing besides cropping or resizing! I shoot in Raw + Jpeg mode.

Maybe once I get more proficient with Photoshop,post processing won't be such a pain for me. But until then,whenever my camera comes out, my expodisc goes around my neck. If the light changes, I just take another custom reading with the expodisc! I will never be without it!!!
HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOOL!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars ExpoDisc, May 27, 2008

By	Jerry Strickland "Jons_Dad" (Huntsville AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the ExpoDisc on the recommendation of a friend who is also a professional photographer. I have been using a SmartShooter Balancesmarter 20" target. This device works well but it requires that you unzip, unfold and hand the target to your subject. Then, after taking a picture of the target, it is refolded, put in its case and zipped up. The Expodisc on the other hand, is very easy to use. It fits on the front of you lens. Then depending on the lighting conditions, you go to where your subject is and either aim the camera back to where you will take the picture from or toward the main light source. Turn the auto focus on your lens off for a moment(so the camera will take a picture without focusing), take a picture for the custom white balance, then go and take great pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars White Balance at its Best, August 6, 2007

By	Paul H. Behrens "I am now fed up" (Anaheim, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

To white balance a digital camers to any light and be on target is hard. This is a dream to use and a must for everyone that need to take pro photos.
We use it at SoYouHeadshots.com- and it is great. We now have 3 of them.
Normal and Portrait White Balance that adds a touch of warmth.

Thank You Paul H Behrens, Designers & Photography
