Title: Ray Flash
Post by: photogreenls on January 05, 2010, 02:26:48 am

I got my Ray Flash recently. I like it. I think it's a nice tool to have some fun.
I've posted my detailed review: Ray Flash ring flash adapter (http://photo-tips-online.com/review/ray-flash-ring-flash-adapter/)
The build quality is good. The light loss is just a stop.
It's been discussed, however, that it puts some stress on flash head. I wonder if there are any long time users of this light modifier that can confirm that it does not cause any problems with flash head (any damage?). To me it seems that it's not that heavy, but a pound of plastic hanging on a flash head... I guess only time will tell...

Just wondering whether you have used or considered Coco Ring Flash, which is only $50.

Coco is a knockoff. Usually I try to avoid those as they are often of poor quality. But it is, indeed, cheap
