The Ringflash Adapter is unique! It was developed by a professional photographer from the Czech Republic and was designed to be as light and as portable as possible. There are no electronics, no flashtubes and no cumbersome cables! It uses a clever system of internal prisms, reflectors and light-shapers to distribute the light emitted from the flash unit evenly around the large diameter of the ringflash adapter. This creates the same lighting effect normally only available from ringflash units made by studio flash equipment manufacturers, which are expensive, heavy and tethered, ie. cable from ringflash to power pack.
The Ringflash Adapter creates a very special lighting effect: a “3D shadow-wrapped look”. Because all light originates from the front, i.e. from around the lens, it produces a virtually shadowless look on the front of your subject, while a soft even shadow appears around the edges. It is ideally suited for fashion, portrait and beauty images as a main or fill-in light.
The Ringflash Adapter does not change the colour temperature of the flash unit and the additional weight can easily be accommodated by the on-camera flash unit.
The Ringflash Adapter is made to fit the Canon 580 and Nikon SB800 flash units and due to its large inner diameter the ringflash adapter will accept almost all lenses from Nikon and Canon. For model range see back page.
Exposure control: when using Canon or Nikon cameras (or their derivatives) all TTL functions are operational as usual, as well as in manual mode. In manual control, the exposure is measured by use of a light meter or through test-shots on a digital camera.

| Light output: The Ringflash adapter is very efficient and the loss of light is surprisingly low! For example with model RAN160 at a distance of 3 meters, ISO1OO, the f-stop reading is 4.0 & 5/10. | |
How to fit The Ringflash Adapter
The Ringflash Adapter is mounted to the front of a portable flash unit, for example the Canon 580 or Nikon SB800, and it is small and lightweight enough to allow complete mobility!
