I posted this on another forums so i figured i'd post it here too since the work has already been done.

Okay, here are a few more images, i've added some real life objects so it's easier to gauge the difference it makes.

I made a .gif abit low quality to show where to look for the difference. The according jpegs are below.

Can someone tell me why this is $99 on Amazon?

Because it's only $100 o_O

Lol. I only paid $85 for mine. Local shop discount ftw.

Seems like a lot for something like this.  I'm not saying it's not worth it, because imagine the time savings in PP.  But I'm not a pro nor do I shoot near as many pictures, so it's probably not worth it to a guy like me.

My point is that this thing probably costs $5 to make.  Maybe I need to get into the color checker business.

I dunno, seems to priced just right for me, considering a 77mm expodisc costs $100, a Whibal card cost $30, lally cap is $30. The CC passport seems like a steal at that price. Making accurate reference colors based on industy standards isn't as easy as you think man.. On top of the, the Lightroom plugins they provide and the software needed to make custom profiles cost money to develop.
