Hey everyone,
I found some affordable ring flashes that will only function with Nikon and Pentax cameras. The seller doesn't think they will function with Pentax cameras; not even in manual mode.
I once came upon an ad for a hotshoe adapter that would allow me to clip it onto my IST DL and then attach a Canon or Nikon adapter.
1. What are these adapters and where can I find them?
2. Would these adapter allow me to use any of these ring flashes (I'll list them below)
3. Is there an alternative way to use these ring flashes without using an adapter (maybe isolating the firing pins?)?
The ring flashes:
