Hi all,
This question is directed to members who have used the AF080C ring light on digital cameras – in my case a Pentax K10. I just picked this used ring light at a good price (I think) on EBAY and I have a few questions.
I intend to use it with my A 100/2.8 macro. This lens has a 58mm filter diameter and it seems the flash comes with 49mm diameter. This could be an issue.
I’m pretty sure I can get 58~49mm step down rings but I’m wondering if the lens will fit in the hole. Time will tell. I have an M 50/4 macro which accepts 49mm filters so I’ll still be able to work with it but I would prefer to use the 100mm. I guess I’ll find out when it arrives.
In either case I understand I shall have to use the flash in manual mode on the K10. I have a fair bit of manual experience so this doesn't really concern me but I'm open to any advice to get me started from those who have more experience with this flash. Any tips, techniques, trial and error ideas etc.?
Thanks in advance
Tom G
