I mainly got this for my 35mm film-camera, as the digital camera’s automatically compensate for the tungsten (orange) and daylight (blue) spectrums of light.
You’d use the blue diffuser if you began shooting film outside during the day and want to transition the film to inside, because inside you’d have mostly tungsten which is orange. The blue counters the tungsten effect.
The same applies in reverse. You’d want the orange diffuser if you began shooting indoors with film under tungsten light and want to shoot outdoors in daylight.
How this works is when film is developed, most places just colour balance to the first frame of the film and if you’ve compensated, all your prints will look the same. Otherwise you’ll have some normally coloured and the rest either blueish or yellowish hued, if you didn’t use the diffusers at all.
With digital cameras, you can also use the orange diffuser to warm up a day-lit scene.
Personally I found the diffusers are okay, but not up to the same quality as those by Gary Fong.
I also want to note that this brand DOES NOT work with the Gary Fong Puffer Pop Up Flash Diffuser, as the peg-sizes are different. Gary Fong’s Puffer has more slots for more adjustibility, this knock-off has fewer holes for the pegs.
This item is okay for beginners, but I would still steer them to the Gary Fong Puffer mentioned earlier in my review. Therefore, three stars. One star for price, another for the additional colours for film-cameras, and a third star because it is half-way decent.
