Sunpak DX-12R: Modifying to work on Hasselblad 50mm?
I am recently the proud owner of an 50mm C Distagon, and am
disappointed, although not at all surprised, that my DX-12R ringlight vignettes like crazy. I'm considering picking up a used DX-12R and trying to perhaps file or cut the inner mount so that I can slip it on past the edge and maybe attach it with velcro. Has anyone attempted anything like this, and/or have any suggestions? Thanks, Chris |

om... I am recently the proud owner of an 50mm C Distagon, and am disappointed, although not at all surprised, that my DX-12R ringlight vignettes like crazy.

Has anyone attempted anything like this, and/or have any suggestions? Not really that familiar with the flash, except that it comes with adapters to fit to 62mm and 67mm. That would suggest the flash could possibly sit around the lens (without using the adapter ring)? Are you using the 62mm adapter, as the lens has a 63mm thread which might explain something? -- Martin Francis http://www.sixbysix.co.uk "Go not to Usenet for counsel, for it will say both no, and yes, and no, and yes...." |

There are two mounts on the flash, one about 67mm (for which fits the 62mm and 67mm rings) and one bigger, either 72 or 77mm. Using the 67mm clips, the flash could sit on the lens at about the same position as it would with the 67mm ring, but it can't be pushed back at all. |
