Does anyone ever used the White Balance Lens Cap from Photojojo?
//photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/white-balance-lens-cap/
It looks interesting, but I'm not sure if it really works.
Any idea? Comment? |

| Depends on the size of the lens/lens cap |

Can you tell us why you didn't like it? |

I tried it out in a few different places with different lighting and just didn't feel impressed by the product enough to actually use it. Also I only bought one for my 18-105.. I don't always use my 18-105 so that lens cap would be pointless on my other lenses.
Oh and FYI. BandH is cheaper.

If you think those are expensive, don't price the expodisc!
I'm not dissing either product. I know that the folks that make expodisc go to great lengths to ensure that it is accurate, and remains accurate (no yellowing or other shifts over time). Still, I would not pay that kind of money for it. I find that if I get the white balance good enough to display something close to accurate on the LCD, then I can shoot confidently. I will then make adjustments to one shot in Lr and copy the WB adjustment to the others shot in the same conditions. It's a minute's worth of work, and what matters isn't that the results are technically dead-nuts accurate, but that the result is pleasing. For instance, I will often leave photos shot under tungsten lighting slightly warm, since this most accurately represents what we expect to see under these conditions, and often is more pleasing than a completely corrected WB.
Edit for typo
