That's a classic setup and a nice lens too Don. Are there specific lens diameter fitting requirements for the ring flash? About what was the cost?

Thanks,

Don,

How is that flash working for you? Are you using it with a Cokin adapter? How is the fit? I see a used one on ebay.

K-7, congrats. I got to play with one with all the current Pentax lenses at the road show in Seattle. Very impressive all the way around.

Thanks,

Not currently using the Cokin adapter. The lense takes a 49mm filter and there is a screw adapter for that, as well as a 52mm one. This also fits my Pentax 50mm normal lens.

Only had a chance to try it out, so far. Works fine, Can aslo be used hand held or on the face of the TTL unit kinda like a regular flash.
