dionysis Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · rosco strobist gels Did you get the specific strobist gels or did you purchase the sample pack? I know they are selling both at the moment but I don't know if there is a difference. The sample pack was not originally intended to be used as a flash gel so it doesn't fit all flashes. Personally I would get a gel holder, they seem to work ok. http://www.mpex.com/browse.cfm/4,13750.html Nov 22, 2009 at 02:42 PM

Two23 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · rosco strobist gels You're making this too hard. On my monolights I simply tape them in place. On my SB flash I bought a bunch of diffusor domes from DealExtreme or someplace for a couple of bucks each, and cut them up to make gel holders. I also made some grids that fit inside the frame. If you want something even easier, buy the sheets of gels and cut them to size. Put a wide rubber band around your flash heads and tuck the gel strip under it on two sides. Remember to make the strip bow out a bit or you'll melt it. Fast, easy, cheap. Kent in SD Nov 22, 2009 at 06:13 PM

bacilonur Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · rosco strobist gels Here's how the standard Rosco sampler pack fits on my SB-600, SB-900, and 580EX. It fits the SB-900's huge lens just fine with room to spare on the sides if you want to use velcro dots instead. Nov 22, 2009 at 08:41 PM

mattograph Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · rosco strobist gels If you do tape these on, be sure to pace yourself while you are shooting. The flashhead will get hot enough to melt the gel, discoloring the lens. I speak from experience -- unfortunately. Nov 23, 2009 at 12:58 AM

matcam Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · rosco strobist gels Try one of these http://gelholder.com/gelholder/ Best $10 I ever spent. If you don't want to affix velcro to the speedlight try a Honl Speedstrap which is about the same price. Nov 23, 2009 at 06:47 PM

TiSE Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · rosco strobist gels Can anyone comment on the holder, it looks like it is too close to the lens and will melt under heavy use ? Any comments from experienced users ? Rob. Nov 24, 2009 at 03:36 AM
