I have an SB-900 and two SB-600's. The SB-900 comes with a nice little gel holder and gels.

I want to also use gels on my SB-600's

I see that you can gels reasonably cheaply on ebay but what is the best way to attach them to the flash? Can you buy a diffuser and gel set that holds the gels in place?

Cheers,

Pete
 
Blu-tack, velcro, rubber bands, whatever works. I personally use velcro (with the hoops stuck to the flash and the hooks stuck to the gels).
 
Peter, I got the gel kit from http://www.flashgels.co.uk/shop/ which comes with gels cut to size and the velcro tabs, it works well and I haven't had any problems. I bought some of the wider ones for the SB-900 and cut them to fit the gel holder using one of the Nikon supplied gels as a template.
 
Thanks guys,m I have ordered some of these
