I heard this was mentioned a few times here and ran across it on eBay.

Has anyone used it and can report how well it works?

I'm replacing one of my cap and thinking of picking it up just for heck of it.

Sure is cheap compared to the Expodisc. If you get one post up a reivew. It would be interesting to see if and how they work.

One more thing to carry... I've found, for my style of shooting and what I usually shoot, it's much easier to use AWB and make any corrections I need in post-processing. The Auto White Balance of the 20D is usually pretty close for most situations and I can make minor adjustments in PS or Lightroom.

Check with them and see if it is white balanced (or rather, neutral tint). Each Expodisc is and is tested for it. Without that, there is little point in buying it, you would just be swapping one uncertain white balance for another.

My bet it is not. If not, then don't bother.
