I think he's referring to modifier attachments made specifically for the 285. I believe Vivitar made several (diffusers, gel holders, etc.) back in the day.

Well how about a link to a thread called:

''Ultimate Vivitar 285 Modification"

http://www.flickr.com …iscuss/72157600​789220443/ (external link)

It may not be what you have in mind, but after all it is the "''Ultimate Vivitar 285 Modification".

Try that on and see how it fits.

Enjoy! Lon

I suggest a decal of an agitated looking woodpecker smoking a cigar for the 285 when you are finished.

Enjoy! Lon
