Strange filter thread on a Ring Flash
Strange filter thread on a Ring Flash
My wife is interested in Macro Photography, and I found a cheap ring flash
at a second-hand store recently.
It says "ACCESS Ring Flash" and "Made in Japan" with no further information,
or model numbers, or brand names, or anything.
I would like to be able to screw this to a standard 55mm filter mount.
Measuring the "filter ring" threads, it appears to be either a 54x0.7mm
thread, or a 2 1/8"-36 thread. There is no standard filter ring size that is
54mm, and 55 and 52 (and 49, etc)mm filter rings all have a pitch of 0.75mm,
not 0.7mm.
Has anyone ever run into something like this?
If all else fails, I can have a step-down ring custom manufactured, but it
may not be cheap...
