Carrying the Lee Filter sample packs around.

The wonders of Strobist hail that the Roscoe Gel Packs and the Lee Filters Designer pack are oft required in the wonders of doing things with a flashgun.

The Lee Filter Designer pack comes a block of gels with a pin through them to keep them all together. Strobists have devised ways to keep them in some logical order. Last night, I figured out mine.

Enter stage left, the Asda business card holder. All £1.24 of it. There's 25 pages in them which hold four business cards per page. So you can hold three filters per business card pocket and fit the whole gel pack in.

Here's mine:

Jason,

Having received my filter pack over one year ago, as recommended by Strobist.com

Only two days ago (while having a clear out) I came to the conclusion, that it is pretty much useless...
...and subsequently threw it in the bin.

An absolute genius idea (the wallet), to prevent you bending the filters you use - I am in fact going to look for something similar.

Also, have you checked out:

A great idea, you can pick up pre cut gels in all the right (and useful) shades!

A friend has wrote a simple review of the flash-gels product here:
