<< My macro lens is a Panagor 90mm f2.8 which takes a 62mm filter. I've
been interested in the Olympus Macro flash equipment--either the T8 or T10
ring flash or the T28 Macro twin flash. Would my Panagor lens be compatible
with any of these?
If not, would there be some hybrid creature like a 62-55mm adapter ring? My
T-32 flash works fine, I just thought that the other units might provide
more versatility. Thanks. >>
Hi Bill,
I think your question on the 62-55 adapter was answered. But I have another
suggestion for you. "Kirk" makes a pretty neat Macro Flash bracket for about
$60.00 so you can use your T32 out over the end of the lens as most Pros do.
I made my own by modifying a "Kirk" Nikon 80-200 Zoom QR plate #TM-3 I bought
(close-out) for $50. It has a plate I mounted (Screwed) to the bottom of my
65-116 auto tube and a 3 1/2 inch ring at the other end, out and around the
lens. On top of the ring I mounted a Kaiser flash swivel. This setup allows
you to rotate the camera for verticals without readjusting as you must do with
the flash bracket. I have been experimenting with a T280 flash for close up
work with this set up. So far, I am pleased with my flash mount.
