Hello, I haven't seen this mentioned here so thought I would post for those that are interested. If you don't have any filters for your Flash guns, and you don't mind the DIY look, visit the following link, fill out your details and request a 'Designer Swatch'.

You should, within a few days receive a nice sample pack of around 300 filters which are a perfect size for your flash. All you need to do it modify them slightly so you have a bit of card at either end of the filter, then use that card folded around your flash and fasten with an elastic band. 300 filters for the cost of an elastic band :)
 
I still haven't done anything with mine. To be honest I don't know enough about flash photography yet to make use of then. If I get a second flash (trying to source a cheap Vivitar 285HV currently) then I would like to try some stuff using the filters to give some nice colourful backgrounds :)
 
I am yet to use mine yet. But once I have a cheap 2nd off camera flash I am hoping to use them a bit more for giving some funky colours to backgrounds and stuff :)
