Expodisc for white balance

Hi anybody using the expodisc for white balance.
I'm wondering how beneficial they are also is there much of a difference between the neutral and the portrait models .
Thanks in advance.

I use BaLens WB lens caps and I have never used the portrait dome. I think a lot of photographers are fixing WB in pp nowadays.

I used WhiBal for a while and then realized that shooting RAW, I could set whatever Kelvin value I wanted in Camera Raw. I haven't used the WhiBal in about a year. I don't think it's worth the money for you to get the ExpoDIsc. Sounds good, but with Auto and Camera RAW, you don't need it.

I shoot auto white balance all the time in raw. Camera Raw to adjust the temp. Kelvin.

If I don't like how it turns out I use photoshop to apply a warming/cooling filter on.

I have one of the neutral discs, but I've found it is just easier to get as close as I can with the in-camera presets and tweak the final result in Lightroom; I haven't used the disc in months.

Melitta's pretty good.

I have on, the neutral model. It works great, as others have said. But if you shoot raw, you can adjust the white balance in post, so it has less value with these files.

Thanks to everyone for the great replies I do most of my white balance correcting in pp I was just looking to save a little time out of the camera I've also tried the coffee filter method with good results .

Honestly, the in-camera presets, on the 7D at least, do a pretty good job most of the time. Taking it off AWB and using those will probably save you as much time as using an Expodisc or similar.

I use mine from time to time. Sometimes, with odd or mixed lighting, there is just no good way to get tweak it visually in Lightroom. The Expodisc helps in those situations. That said, I really do hardly ever use mine.

I had the warm version and found it was pretty useless. The neutral is the better choice.

Most of the time I just tweak in lightroom or camera raw, but when I do portraits I use the color checker passport, and then use that for the custom WB later. The results with that spot on.
