Lally Cap For WB Settings
The Lally Cap is a cloth cap that stretches over lenses to help create a test target for Custom White Balance (WB) sets. Using the standard procedure for setting a Custom WB, the Lally Cap replaces the need for a white card or other Custom WB setup and reading procedures. The convenient cap slips on and off the lens with ease and can be folded to fit into a camera bag or your pocket. The material is waterproof and can be used on most standard size lenses and sells for $29, plus $3 S&H.
