$110 for a piece of plastic

I finally broke down and bought an Expodisc. It's a piece of white plastic that goes over the lens to establish the correct colour temperature for ambient light. The results are pretty stunning.

Here's a photograph taken using my camera's automatic exposure and white balance features.
