Can anyone identify the Fresnel-like attachment to which the Elinchrom light in this photo is mounted:

No - although given that he has Canon brand lights anything is possible.

Looks like something third party-ish and fairly new - perhaps an ebay attachment or something from foto-walser? Can fairly confidently say Elinchrom never made anything looking like that.

Wow, Dave, looks like you're really trying to distract yourself... ;)

I think you nailed it, BTW. How in the world did you find that? ???

Creative Googling, Rudi, creative Googling. This post on the FM lighting forum actually provided the answer:

And, yes, I am really trying to distract myself. Now I think I'll build a scale model of the Kremlin out of popsicle sticks.

And then follow it up with some LensBaby shots.

More than likely it's one of many DIY's to mount strobes to the older lights with really large fresnel lenses.

There are modern and current attachments made for strobes but they look nothing like that.

This is one made by Bowen's for their strobes.
I took a lighting class at Calumet and they used one of these and it worked great on focusing the light on the subject. The bowen model does look close to this model.
The cost was in the 700.00 range at that time.
I don't know if China is making a knock-off of it.
