Chocloate coloured flash gel?

[Chris L]

Has anyone here had any luck finding a UK supplier for a chocolate coloured gel to use on flashguns? So far all I've succeeded in doing is finding a Rosco colour number but no results when trying to source it from the UK

Cheers

I've got one that I've used a fair bit that came out of a lee swatchbook...lee 156 apparently, can probably get it from one of the sellers on ebay or similar. If you've got to buy a whole sheet of it, I'd be happy to give you a few quid for a few strips from it, swatchbook bits really aren't quite big enough, even taped up...

Try Alchemy33 on Ebay

I'm curious - what sort of effect would a chocolate gel have (apart from producing brown-coloured light, obviously)? What would you use it for?

Here's a handy Rosco to Lee converter too

Thanks very much for all the help guys! I've emailed Alchemy33 to ask if they can supply the filter seperately rather than buying a whole swatch book of colours, many of which I will never use.

For me it's just about producing a (graduated) brown coloured light as a background for portraits

Lee (that's his name too ) should, if he's got it, be able to sell you the gel by the sheet, I bought some CTO from him for not a lot of money

Lee came back to me earlier today to explain that unfortunately he doesn't stock this colour but he's offered to have a check to see if he's got some left over from any previous shoots and send it to me for the cost of postage!
