Normal (eg Kodak) grey card vs Gretag Macbeth vs Expodisc...

Postby cyanide on Mon May 02, 2005 10:11 pm

I need something to help with WB and am looking at these three... assuming they all "work", is the Expodisc so expensive mainly because it is the easiest to use?

I thought I should start out with the cheapest, ie Kodak grey card, although I had eyed off the Expodisc... can't really understand the difference b/w the Kodak grey card and the Macbeth...?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Yeah - I'm aware of the pringles lid option but the opaque ones aren't available here...

Hmmmm, perhaps an option... although I understand they are hard to find there too?

Anyway, am looking also at these other WB tools and wondered on comparisons?

Grey card will do the job very well and only costs about 20 bucks.
