This adapter is a brilliant story! Together with a matching soft box from the same manufacturer I can now shoot very straightforward localfreely fine Portraits. However, a caveat must be mentioned. The flash adapter is so tightly dimensioned that I could put on my Canon 430EX only by brute force. Reason: The protruding contacts of 430er encounter when attaching to the bottom of the adapter. I have sweated blood and water. You may be but only due to serial dispersion in manufacturing tolerances ... Nevertheless therefore only 4 stars!
