Datacolor SpyderCheckr

While accurate colour reproduction may not be vital for snapshooters, photographers looking for faithful reproductions of the hues and tones in the scenes they photograph, and consistent colour reproduction across a number of cameras and lenses, will find the SpyderCheckr tools valuable. The SpyderCheckr 24 will be more than adequate for most tasks and has the advantage of being more portable than the SpyderCheckr and providing excellent value for money. Portrait photographers who rely on accurate reproduction of skin tones will be better served by the larger, ‘professional’ SpyderCheckr. Even though it is heavier and bulkier, it’s a handy tool that doesn’t take up much space in a studio environment and would justify its higher price tag.
