Place to buy gels? - 02-19-2010, 11:09 PM


I am trying to buy a set of gels for my AB's. I gave away most of my leftovers after making gels for my SB's. I need at the least 1/4 CTO and CTB, ND, and a full set of basic (primary) colors.

Who sells these the cheapest? I know you can get them from PCB, B&H, etc. But has anyone found an even more cost effective way to get them?

Gels

Gels aren't that expensive.

Have you checked rosco for a local seller -- you can call around after getting a few names of local and then avoid shipping cost.
