Rosco Cinegel Roscosun CTO, 20 x 24 inches Color Correction Lighting Filter

First, note that this is a 20X24 inch sheet of filter material; more than likely you will want to cut it to size. This is enough material for the biggest studio strobe or to make sufficient speedlight filters to last the the rest of your life and share with friends. This is NOT an "orange" filter as one reviewer complained.The CTO color balance is designed to roughly shift a daylight balanced light source or strobe to put out a near-tungsten illumination. For instance, I was shooting stills in a television studio but needed to use fill flash after the show. Placing a piece of the Rosco Cinegel CTO on my strobe allowed me to set my camera to tungsten and shoot clean results everywhere. You take a similar approach when shooting inside a house or other venue illuminated with traditional tungsten/quartz lighting.Anyway, the Rosco Cinegel CTO is good, tough stuff. Put the excess in a drawer for when your present filter material starts getting chewed up and you are set for life.

The product was exactly as described. A little dark for my liking, but maybe as an outdoor flash filter it'll do me justice. What i would have preferred though is a sheet a lot smaller and most cost effective. It's not over-priced, by market standards, it's just that I only use it for flash filters as most photographers I know. One small sheet of even 4x6 would have covered a couple flash units, and saved a few dollars and maybe a faster delivery time. Otherwise, no product quality complaints.

ok

I bought some LED flood lights that were way too 'white', they were blue to be honest. I spent a considerable amount on the LEDs and hated to not be able to use them. They were really bright just the wrong color. I needed to find a solution to be able to use them. Enter, the color film idea.I have some quartz lights installed already and I had to match the light color. This worked perfectly. The LED do not get hot but time will tell how long this film will last. The LED floods are styled after the quartz lights with large clear glass lens. I just cut a sheet the same size as the glass and installed it inside. I have extra so I will be able to replace when/if needed.I also do some photography, so I will play with it on flash/umbrellas too - just haven't done that yet.The quality of this gel sheet feels pretty good to the touch. I'm no expert on gel film but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express before.

these filters are too weak. the orange is almost transparent with an orange hue. the congo blue is better but still doesn't compare to other brands. the red is probably ok.

If you want a full CTO gel that accurate, and sturdy then this is it. This gel is not a cheap knockoff that will peel, flake, or tear on you. It is the real stuff and can abuse.They are very clear but will dim your light/flash a bit.Shipping is great! Comes in a cardboard tube, and cover with protective paper so when you get it will not have any scratches on it. That way you can scratch it up yourself, I know I did.The neat thing is they are so large you can use one to drape over a barn door light or cut it up into smaller squares to cover flash heads.Buy these if you need gels!

Read an article about how to make white led look more natural. More like incondesent lights. Sugest this and another gel. Used it and wow. Its on a chauvet spot. We do vintage type burlesque shows. This makes everyone look so much better. Before the white eas washing eveyone out. Now they acctually look human.

I wanted to produce the warm glow that comes from an incandescent light turned down low. This does the job perfectly. So-called "warm" bulbs reproduce the color of an incandescent at full brilliance, but fail to capture that "fire-place" color that is so desirable for a certain intimate look. I have used these as covers for LED lights inside sconces in my living-room, and they give a cozy feel to the place.
