For those looking for sample ROSCO gels..be aware

I just wanted to put this out there for those of you who may be looking to pick up a sample pack of Rosco gels. As always there are those unscrupulous idiots on eBay looking to sucker you. check this out. http://cgi.ebay.com …ZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcm​dZViewItem
i hope everyone here knows that these samples can be obtained from the manufacturer at NO CHARGE. Or...if you must pay you can score them at B&H for $.01!

I put in like 3 requests to Rosco so far since last year and nothing arrived.

really? i got mine. took about 3 weeks but i got them. also try apollo. these came pretty quick. http://www.internetapo​llo.com …s/MarketingMate​rials.aspx

Thanks Shawn, I just submitted a request to Appolo for a swatchbook.

I don't know what happened with Rosco but I re-submitted one about 2 weeks ago too. We'll see.

I have yet to receive mine either and it has been over a month.

Funny how things like this happen. UPS guy shows up tonight and hands me a package from Rosco.

nice...

i've ordered the sample packs from rosco multiple times over the past couple of years and have never received anything from them.
Just put a request in with Apollo. (thx for the link) I hope I have better luck with them.

no problem. like i said...i received one swatch from rosco but it took contacting the sales manager to get em. the apollo gels came pretty quickly. i think it was about 8-10 days. maybe thats why bh "sells" the rosco swatch book for .01. if they are in stock you will definately get them. good luck with the apollos.

took me a while to get mine from rosco. When I got the packing slip they circled "backordered" so perhaps they are backordered on their own sample swatchbooks? I sure with the whole strobist rage, they're being overwhelmed with sample swatchbook orders.

I noticed the same thing on my packing slip. I'm sure they are getting swamped with orders for these.

damn strobists!

BH probably sells the rosco swatchbook for other reasons. probably more so a legality/tax issue.

kind of like how technically if you give your car to a buddy you have to put that they atleast paid $1 to make it legit.

bah...technicalities. bh has all the books guys. guess thats why you cant get them from rosco!

I just got mine last week.....took over a month to get them for me.
