Finally no lens shade more when flashing

My Canon 450D is equipped with a slightly thicker lens (15-85mm), which in turn has a lens hood, as it should be. Unfortunately, with the effect that this undermines the objective of the lightning shadows. I therefore operate an additional system flash by Canon, which one is best fixed laterally from the camera, also to reduce the red-eye effect. The angle rail of Hama is solidly built, the handle supports hands rest while shooting and is a convenient base for carrying not more very light camera including flash. I'm very satisfied and would recommend this part.
