Leon,
Very interesting photos and equipment.
I'm happy to see what the camera can be coaxed into doing.

Hi Mark,
These are some pictures from last weekend. I haven't cropped them,
though I normally would. All are taken with the FA100 f2.8 macro at f22.

All I can say is - Wow! That looks like a helluva setup. Do you have
some sample shots taken with it?
I haven't gotten around to making a spacer to use with the setup I've
been fooling with - I've been thinking about using a cork with velcro on
each end, and all I've managed to do so far is obt

Mike,
The EHT won't kill you. It hurts but it won't kill you. I also suggest
giving the flash at least 2 days with no batteries in it before you
start working on it to make sure there is no power left in it.
If possible check the specs on the ring flash tube to make sure it
doesn't need a hi

Hi Mark,
I've managed to snap the hotshoe off a Super A (Twice)! The first time
I hadn't put it away properly and it had an AF80C ring flash on it. I
had to run about 200 metres through soft mud to get to a phone to call

Thanks - that's a good idea. The flash has velcro around the end so I

Put some foam between the bottom of the flash and the top of the lens shade.
