Here it is in case somebody else is interested: We are sorry to tell you that YN-14EX doesn't support filter size 62mm, please purchase adapter ring for it. Which means that I will need to get a step up ring 62->67 or 62->72 mm. Fortunately these rings are cheap as dirt. Thanks for reporting back your findings. Report back how you like the flash too if you would!

Also, here's some info on flash duration, number 1 in particular: http://orionmystery.blogspot.com …photography-3-things.html I always shoot manual m8 on ETTL, dont know anyone who's in this game shooting any other way to be honest..... so since there is no pre-flash subject is beating the flash out right

The above quoted advise is not good macro advise, at all. The errors and problems were the user and had nothing to do with the ring flash in question. Very best Agreed! Are you using this flash now? How are you liking it compared to your previous setup? My name is Jeff, not actually Jose Canseco.

Because that sends out a preflash and that preflash will cause these long legged flies to take off.

Physically, the external diameter (1) suggests that it is theoretically possible to cobble something together to fit this on a 77mm filter thread lens. The smallest diameter of the hole in the doughnut (2) shows that with anything larger than the largest (72mm thread) ring supplied, part of the mount will protrude across the front of a 77mm thread lens. Depending on the lens chosen, this may not protrude into the field of view - the emphasis being on "MAY not". Purely to answer this question, I have just fitted my YN-14EX onto my Canon 24-70mm L (Mark 1 therefore 77mm thread) on a FF body. I did this with the YN-supplied 67mm ring plus a 67-77mm stepping ring. (Sorry, no 72-77mm stepping ring available.) Physically, it WILL fit without any string/sealing wax/duct tape/rubber band contrivances - simply screws together perfectly normally. I don't have time to check photographically, but visually it appears that the combination starts to vignette at about 35mm F.L. and is very pronounced at 24mm F.L. The 70mm appears to be vignette-free and usable. I must stress though that these are VISUAL checks only (at f/22 of course) - and only apply to this particular combination of lens and adapters. Phil ǁ Kershaw Soho Reflex: 4¼" Ross Xpres, 6½" Aldis, Super XX/ABC Pyro in 24 DDS, HP3/Meritol Metol in RFH, Johnson 'Scales' brand flash powder. Kodak Duo Six-20/Verichrome Pan. Other odd bits over the decades, simply to get the job done - not merely to polish and brag about cos I'm too mean to buy the polish!
