B&H Photo Video has the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport for $59.00, as a Father’s Day Special. This is a $40 price drop from their regular price of $99, and the lowest price we’ve seen for this white balance system.

The X-Rite ColorChecker Passport is pretty straight forward — it’s a grey card (for exposure/white balance calibration) and a 24-color patch for creating DNG profiles, all in a sturdy case. Software is included to help create DNG profiles for an Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop workflow.

We have been getting a lot of questions — “how safe is it to buy from unauthorized dealers?”. In short, we think it’s quite safe if you rely on platforms like eBay when buying from an unauthorized dealer as they have some of the best buyer protection around.

This post recaps some of the protection available via eBay and gives some tips on how to protect yourself.

Note: Purchases at unauthorized dealers may not have Canon USA warranty, depending on if it’s US model or Grey Market — you can read our article about that separate topic.
