ExpoDisc White Balance Filter Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 6.67 (out of 10)
One of the big advantages of digital photography is the ability to tweak each photo to perfection. One of the big disadvantages of digital photography is the ability to tweak each photo to perfection. If you have already caught the digital photography "bug" you know what I am talking about. Taking photographs is easy compared to the time it takes to look at and tweak each photo (fixing contrast and brightness, skin tones, etc.,). While the ExpoDisc is a bit expensive for something that looks like a lens cap, it would be worth its weight in gold if I ended up with properly exposed and color balanced photographs. Lets take a look......

Using the ExpoDisc is the easiest way to get perfect white balance and accurate exposures on the first shot. The patented ExpoDisc eliminates the need for gray cards and hand-held meters. Neutral tones become more pleasing because all colors are brought into balance at point of capture. The ExpoDisc replaces your lens cap and is convenient, fast and easy to use whether you are shooting film or digitally.

Should you buy an Expo/Disc? If you're new to photography or want to start working from a point of technical accuracy, then without question. Beginners and amateurs may find the price of the Expo/Disc prohibitive, but the return in accuracy and speed more than compensates - especially if you're not shooting raw. Professionals could well be grateful for a quick and simple way of finding the right white balance for a scene, and checking the accuracy of their camera meters. Even raw users will find value in getting the white balance right first time.

User-set white balance options are quite common on all types of digital cameras these days. And, when setting the camera's white balance for specific conditions, most of us generally rely on setting the white balance using a plain white sheet of paper which the camera uses as a guide. While that method yields a result that tends to be approximately correct, we are all conscious that there are as many shades of white as there are sheets of white paper.
