This is made for a 3" X 4" lens but by putting it in the vise and bending the narrow end outward a little you can use a 3"X 6" lens.Or if you'd rather you can go as big as a 6"X 6" lens as well. The heighth doesn't matter as it just needs the stick-on velcro to attach it and you would have to provide a Rubber band(Old Innertube rubber will do) or get an elastic or velcro strap to attach it. These still need a rubber pad at the narrow end to help keep it in place but some peel and stick rubber or foam pads will work for that. I'll do a little more to it and show the results here. These are very rigid as is but you could glue a 1" wide strip of lexan to help stiffen it even more. I don't right now see why but you could if you wished to.

One thing did spring to mind with all of this.
Why only 2 sides? Surely if you made it with 4 sides, and just pushed it over the flash head, then all of the flash power would go to the magnifyer at the end. Or am I missing something obvious here? Dal |

Hi Roy,
You know that Pentax made a flash extender for the 280 and also an attachment for wide angle shots. I have seen them on eBay a couple of times. Rudy |

Some have mentioned they have thin sheets for the lens element so I have tried to accomodate that type of fresnel lens by doing the following. This will hold a 6X4 lens and allow it to slide in and out. It is made from 3 pieces of 1/8" lexan cut out with a band saw and a jig saw turned upside down. I then glued the sections together with hot glue. Watch your fingers while doing the sawing and don't burn yourself with the hot glue.
Update!!!!!! I've found some acrylic sheet that is lighter and a little more flexible so this will weigh next to nothing when done...Still 1/8" thick though but I know even thinner and lighter material is out there if I can find it locally!! Dawg No. 1 |
