Choosing Between Ray and Saturn Flash Adapters

I primary ordered the Ray Flash. It's fantastically packaged and diligently crafted. Nonetheless, the attachment head is way as well restricting and doesn't suit my Pentax AF-540 flash.

Immediately after an e mail trade, they've got no strategies to provide a design that does. I did benefit from the gummy frogs ahead of I delivered it back for just a refund.

When orderng the Saturn Ring Flash, it came within a box approximately 50 % the dimensions on the Ray Flash and arrived in perfect condition. Nothing at all fancy regarding the packaging. The Ray Flash employs extreme packaging, not environmentally conscious.

The match and finish is near to the Ray Flash. They do not put as a great deal awareness to depth in the emblem. The emblem for the front is also scaled-down, and maybe much less in-your-face as opposed to Ray Flash.

The half amount is just taped on crooked, beneath some crystal clear plastic, beneath the logo. Would not trouble me somewhat, just gave me a bit chuckle viewing the crooked component range slapped on there.

The Saturn has a much more flexible attachment head that tightens by using a hook-and-loop strap. If suits the AF-540 snugly and I really feel no danger of it falling off. Atop, the K20D, the entire combo functions fairly nicely. Definitely, it's a bit more cumbersome than I am accustomed to, but I am going to get utilised to it.

Along with the Pentax DA* 16-50mm 2.8 lens, everything may make for a good mixture. With smaller sized lenses, like the FA 31mm 1.8 Minimal or FA 77mm 1.8 Constrained, the ring flash has to be held in position which has a spare finger, as it's body weight will turn the swivel head of the flash when transforming digital camera orientation.

Not a large offer, but a little something for being aware off. But, within the 16-50 zoom, the ring flash stays in position properly. I've but to attempt it along with the DA* 50-135mm 2.8 lens.

The Saturn possess a little bit extra light reduction than the Ray Flash, nonetheless it matches my gear. The fact that it really is $120 less than the Ray Flash isn't going to hurt possibly. For Pentax, the Saturn would be the only sport in city.
