What CTO gel would be suggested for use with a quantum q5-dr? Are they universal, or do I need to buy one to specifically fit my particular flash? I'm thinking I'm going to turn the stage lights way down and use my AB800's on either side to try to accomplish a mini studio setting.. but I'll still have that awful red curtain about 12 inches from the backs of my group. If I put them any farther away from the awful red curtain, they'll be falling off the stage. Maybe I'll just abandon formals there all together and just suggest formals somewhere else...


Jack of all trades, master of none...

5D / 40D / 10-22 EF-S / 50 1.4 / 24-105 F4 L IS / 70-200 2.8 L IS / 60 EF-S Macro / Quantum T5D-R / Turbo 2x2 / CB Digital Pro-M / QTTL Wireless adapter / memory, etc...

You buy gel in sheets and cut it to fit.

CTO gel strength relates to their conversion from one color temp to another
Full CTO converts 5500K to 2900K
1/2 CTO converts 5500K to 3800K
1/4 CTO converts 5500K to 4500K
1/8 CTO converts 5500K to 4900K
