Pentax AF160FC Ring Flash

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.
