The following information will answer frequently asked questions:

Delivery of the Nikon version:
The ringflash adapter for the Nikon SB800 (Code: SIRN) has been delayed and deliveries for this product are expected to commence in Mid-June 2007. We apologise sincerely for the unforeseen delay.

Compatibility with other flash units:
There have been many requests from owners of flash units other than the Nikon SB800 and Canon 580EX to make use of this unique product. At the moment there is no time schedule for further models of the ringflash adapter. However, feedback from happy users of the ringflash adapter shows that the current model can be used with a variety of other flash units.Ringflash adapter for Canon 580EX (code: SIRC) will fit perfectly to:

• Canon 580EX
• Metz 58 Series
• Minolta 5600 HS
• Konica/Minolta 5600 HS (D)
• Sony FLV-56AM

 The recently released Canon 580EX MKII will not fit the current model. Canon have changed the front dimensions of the 580EX MKII (approx. 2 mm larger). A new model of the ringflash adapter is in preparation.

Ringflash adapter for Nikon SB800 is a perfect match to the SB800. So far we have no further information on potential use with other flash units. We do know that the Nikon SB600 is slightly smaller than the SB800 and therefore will not hold the ringflash adapter safely in position, but could easily be adapted.
