Expodisc - I want! I want! Buy! Buy! Buy!

Last night was shooting a stage event with Victor. Our dear friend shot all evening without custom WB until I notice this pouch hanging from his body. It was his Expodisc so we took it out and tried a custom WB. ooo lala! You can now custom WB from where you are standing, 50ft away from the stage!

Victor how much is it? And anybody wants to MO?

it cost from 290 to 500 plus depending on the size... and u cannot do mo.. its sold at cathay exclusively...  yes its nice... but unless u shoot jpeg all the time....not worth getting

boh leh we shot RAW last night. even with RAW it helps if your WB is not too far off in the first place. I thought Victor bought his at MSC.

Nope I bought at Cathay at $245 for 82mm lens.

I did not bother to custom white balance because you say the lighting color will keep changing...If it stays constant, then I will use it straight away.

i just ordered a 77mm Expodisc @USD103.83 from Amazon on the 15th April (incl handling fee in USA)

Delivery via vPOSTUSA cost SGD15.68 (incl 7% GST) so total cost is about SGD159.

Should be receiving in about 10 days time.

Finally received the Expodisc today. tried it out at home, shots taken with it sure looked more natural as compared to AWB.
