First, Mark identified this Rosco 1/2 stop ND filter
<http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000B73PFE/ref=cm_sw_su_dp>
Then Piers pointed out that the T-32 needs no filter frame. Just cut a
piece of gel filter about 30x65mm and slide it between the dovetails.
(See page 2 of this instruction sheet PDF from the eSIF)
<http://olympus.dementix.org/eSIF/om-sif/flashphotogroup/manuals/t32_color.pdf>
Then I recalled that somewhere (I still haven't found them) I had some
Rosco filters for correcting the flash for fluorescent and incandescent
lighting. I used to strap them to the T-32 with rubber bands. The
correct Rosco filters names/numbers had been identified on Strobist.com
a long time ago.
So I did some more searching and discovered or (maybe rediscovered) this
from 2009:
<http://strobist.blogspot.com/2009/08/rosco-thinks-big-by-thinking-small.html>
It's an inexpensive 55 piece gel filter set suitable for any small strobe.
which led me to this:
<http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=634658&Q=&is=REG&A=details>
B&H sells it for $7.95 + $3.99 (slow, cheap shipping) so you can get
it for under $12.00.
It's for sale lots of places but I chose the B&H link because the price
is less than or equal to any other offering and... if you check the B&H
page above and select the "In the Box" tab you'll get a complete and
detailed listing of all the filters included. There are two Cinegel
#3415 N.15 Neutral Density filters (1/2 stop) plus a full selection of
cooling and warming filters. 20 different filters in all with multiple
copies of many for a total of 55.
I'll probably never use most of these filters but the price is no more
than ordering a single large sheet of ND 0.15 and discarding most of it.
User review comment: Keep them organized, it's easy to mix them up, no
labels on filters. Data sheet identifies them by original packing order.
Cheers,
Dr. Flash
