It may be short of Gary Wong quality, but for $1.37 I got 2 containers that fit very well on the 430.

Now all you need is some deceptive advertising and a 10,000% markup.

I have a real one that I got in a package deal. I'm seriously conflicted about what to do with it. On one hand it does have some value to sell, on the other hand the very act of selling it to someone would make me complicit in the fraud that they represent.

After taking lighting courses, spending time at Tangent's and here I gave both mine away. I just could not sell them after. Had a clear and cloudy and I never really knew why I had both. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I look bad and just shake my head.

I bought a knockoff when they first came out to see if there was something that I was missing. Turns out I wasnt.

papertowel and a rubberband work in a pinch. Though I have the Stofen ones for my flashes, they hold on tight and work well. And it doesn't look like I dropped my camera in the trashcan by accident ;-)a


40D, 5D3, a bunch of lenses and other things :cool:

yes, colors are more saturated when the plastic has been exposed to anything organic.
