It uses a clever system of internal prisms and reflectors to distribute the light emitted from the flash unit evenly around the large diameter of the ringflash adapter. The ringflash adapter creates a very special lighting effect: a “3-d shadow-wrapped look”. Because all light originates from the front, ie from around the lens, it produces a virtually shadowless look on the front of your subject, while a soft even shadow appears around the edges. It is ideally suited for fashion, portrait and beauty images as a main light or fill-in.
Pentax AF160FC Ring Flash, originally uploaded by Mike_Foster.
The new Pentax AF160FC ring flash I got for Chrimbo mounted on my K10D and attached to my 50mm on extension tubes macro setup.
It’s making better than 1:1 macro magnifications hand-held a complete doddle compared to what I used to go through. I also couldn’t get close enough on full extension without vignetting the flash or suffering crippling shadows before, whereas now the illumination even at a few cm is so wonderfully even and glorious and stepping down to a sensible aperture is so easy.
I’m really looking forward to getting out there and using it properly now I actualy officially have it.
Multiblitz RINGFLASH The new powerful light head for the MAGNOLUX studio generator series.
With its detailed and direct light it is mainly designed for the fashion studio. But it also applies in commercial
photography as an ideal lighting tool for shadowless close-up photography of small objects as for instance in medical-
and industrial macro photography.
The “basic“ ring provides detail rendering bare flash quality, the large softlight diffusor provides glossy magazine cover
beauty shots. Due to the outer positioning of the two powerful fans, a maximum cooling effect is achieved. This allows for an almost endless number of flashes.

Here’s the great info for the
make up your mind to purchasing the ringflash – Alienbee ABR800 vs Zeus Ringmaster

whitney.dedic says:I plan on purchasing one or the other, but not quite sure which one to get. I obviously like the cost of the ABR800 but is the ringmaster (including the zues powerpack) worth the more money? i would be using the flash indoor and i would also like to be able to use it outdoor as well… |
rmphotog says:get neither get a real ring flash just read the bad reviews on the ABR800 its plastic hunk of junk… Your far better of getting a real ring flash like Profoto… |
|
Denverite says:I have an ABR800 and while I am not thrilled with the design, and the camera mount, which is large and bulky, its certainly not a hunk of Aside from the mount, I am pretty happy with it. Buying some manfrotto clamps for it, makes using it a lot better. I do agree that if money is no object get the Profoto ringlight. and powerpacks, at least $5K. If your on a limited budget and you need a ringflash, give the AlienBee a look. (less than 0.5K) |
|
whitney.dedic says:dont get me wrong, i would LOVE to get a Profoto…but i am a college student and definitely cant afford it.. but neither of you really answered my question….which one (ABR800 or Zues Ringmaster) is more worth it to buy? |
|
jasonbriscoephotography.com says:Go with the ABR800. Power pack and all are in the head unit. Zeus head requires the power pack. The ABR800 is 100 dollars more than the Zeus but does not require a power pack. ABR800 = $399.95 / Zeus Ringmaster ($299.95) + Zeus Power Pack ($599.95) = $899.90. Pick your poison. Peace. |
|
Denverite says:whitney: sorry, I only have experience with the ABR. I got the ABR after the release of the Zues, because it was cheaper than the Zeus. I think because its lighter and faster to handle, I would prefer the Zues. |
|
rmphotog says:Take a look at my most recent image for an explaination of the ABR800 and the difference in the profoto and also that the profoto can actually only cost you 700 bucks.. as well as it may be used with your already owned branded power packs.www.flickr.com/photos/13064082@N00/2142071533/ |

orbis™ ring flash episode 003 – kickbox shoot
The orbis™ ring flash, available at www.orbisflash.com, in action at a photo shoot of a kickboxer. Includes the advanced tip of using the orbis™ as a small softbox for directional lighting effects at close range.
Look out for episode 004 on orbis™ ring flash techniques, coming soon.
A while back I interviewed Italian fashion photographer Massimo Zanigni, after I’d spotted him posting some very polished, beautifully shadowless photography to the orbis™ ring flash flickr group. It turns out he’s a pro photographer who scored an assignment for a big Italian fashion label, Magilla, shooting none-other than gorgeous Italian celebrity Rafaella Fico. You can read the interview we did here.
The other day, excited to be using his new orbis™ arm, Massimo emailed me to let me know about three behind-the-scenes videos from the Magilla campaign. I thought you’d be interested to see them, so without further ado you’ll find them below. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to shoot a beautiful model in a stunning Venetial palace with an orbis™, you’ve come to the right place. Bravo Massimo !

Price For All Three: $659.06
Product Description
The orbis ring flash uses your existing flash/strobe to create the same beautiful, characteristic ring flash look that has previously only been possible with expensive studio systems. Ring flash has long been recognised as characteristic of high-end portrait and fashion photography. The preserve of the upper end of the market, studio ring flash systems cast beautiful shadowless light yet are bulky, fragile, unwieldy and costly. Conceived by a full time professional photographer and developed by top optical designers, the orbis ring flash is made from durable ABS plastics, weighs around 500g and is totally portable. The patent-pending light-tunnel’ redirects the light from your flash/strobe transforming it into an incredibly effective ring flash. A patent-pending ‘one-size-fits-most’ dock means that the orbis works with a huge range of flash/strobes with no need for add-ons. The orbis enables you to take photographs with shadowless quality ring flash light – without the high costs associated with buying or renting a bulky studio ring flash. All you need is a standard flash/strobe unit and an off-camera cord (or other remote triggering method). the orbis is handheld so neither impedes your camera system’s functionality nor relies on the fragile hotshoe connection. The orbis arm, a simple kit enabling you to fix your orbis to your camera, is now available. The orbis was designed to give serious photogr aphers an edge; by enabling you

orbis™ Amateur Photographer UK Review, originally uploaded by jmfoto.
During a recent visit to the flashy London offices of Amateur Photographer UK, they mentioned they’d reviewed the orbis™. As it’s been reviewed in so many mags, I had to admit that I’d totally missed it! So here’s the clipping… 4/5 stars. I’m hoping that with the orbis™ arm we’ll be able to get full marks!

More orbis™ backstage…, originally uploaded by jmfoto.
Another photo from NZ Fashion Week 2009 of the orbis™ in use, to grab on-the-fly backstage shots of some Adrian Hailwood garments. Apparently the model was a contestant in a recent series of a locally produced version of “America’s Next Top Model” !!! I’m hoping to interview the photographer soon too…. © Aaron K
