toneburst Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 A selection of gels in front of my white/blue LCD:The contrast and brightness with the red gel isn't as good as I remembered, disappointingly. I think it would be acceptable, though, given that the display is arguably a little too bright without something in front of it.a|x Quote
Sasha Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 This right one looks very nice. Contrast is great. I would decrease it bit more on the LCD so those squares wan`t be visible that much. Is that filter comes as a foil roll or what? Quote

Sasha Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Is there some universal code for color of that orange filter? I see they can be get from ebay for cheap. Quote

I see they can be get from ebay for cheap.I'm not sure, to be honest. I should be able to find out though. I'm probably going to steal some from work if they have the right colour- they have it in Big rolls.a|x Quote

toneburst Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 Cool, thank you Mike!Now, we only need info about this specific orange toneburst used and we all like. :)I'm not at home at the moment, but I can look into it when I get back to work on Monday. There probaby are standard colours for gels. They tend to be sold in largish quantities for use with video/film lights, so it might be possible to get as much as you need by writing a carefully-worded email to a local supplier, requesting a free sample. I've managed to get hold of several different enclosures this way (though none turned out to be as cool as the PT-10).a|x Quote
