Kodak Grey Card for CWB

Any ideas from where i can get one of these?

I am not too happy with using a white sheet of paper or a white surface to set my custom white balance. it always results in a bluish or greenish overtone in the pics so i did some research and found that the gray card yields the best results.

henrys and downtown camera has some greay cards but the kodak one is not available...should i just get the regular one?

thanks

Hey, shoot RAW and you can adjust as you see fit!

I've been beaten... Ummm, maybe next time I'll read ALL the replies before I reply?
Sorry!

Rajiv, I'd say you hit the nail on the head. It's better doing this than waiting for the item to be back "in stock". Trust me on this one guys.
