@George – You’re right. There are some situations where ColorRight won’t really benefit you. It will take the golden light out of the sunset and make things neutral.

Most of the time and in most situations though I find that the simplicity of the device makes it a better option. As an aside, they also offer a “portrait” version, which warms up your image. Neither option are for everyone; however, I think many photographers will benefit from one or the other.

Good point and thanks for raising it.

Isn’t the ColorRight assuming that the scene, itself, is overall neutral? Suppose the scene has a decided color cast–e.g., a sunset-lit landscape or, worse, a red wall. How does the ColorRight know that it’s not seeing neutral light?

@Captain Fairly Obvious – The ExpoDisc doesn’t allow enough light to transmit in order to take an accurate reflective light reading. I think ExpoDisc allows around 18% transmission and ColorRight is in the neighborhood of 65% transmission.

I don’t understand why you can’t use it the same way as the other one:
put it on the camera, focus @ infinity, maybe stop down, snap, set white balance on that.

If that technique works with the other one it should work with this one, for flash.

Isnt it really a waste of money? I used a tray from Ikea which was semitransparent in a white tone. Seems to work just as good as Expodisc…

I also heard about people using the old lid from pringles as well.
