[QUOTE="MrF, post: 167002, member: 10292"] Rocky, those filters are to match the color temperature of the flash to the color temperature of the ambient light. Our digital cameras are very good at figuring out white balance, but only if the scene is lit roughly the same. The output of a flash is very close to daylight and you'd use the filters to match it to florescent (green) or incandescent (orange) light. Check out the Lighting 101 section on the Strobist's website. There's some really great info in there that helped me out when I was getting back into this. Also, I have an SB-700 and love it. It's been perfect for all my needs to this point. My prior experience with flashes was with a Vivitar 272 and an SB-15, and what the SB-700 offers is worlds beyond both of those. [/QUOTE]
