If I am right, yes. I dare say Don is making the centre bobbin.

Thumbs up Job done

Lello,

Just got to get it to Mr postman now, but this is what you will get. My SC-17 not included.

No work required on your part other than attatching the flashgun.

Enjoy

Don

I had to laugh Foxy. I realised I was making yours exactly this time last year.

Next I need to learn how to engrave Nikon.

It's arrived
Well Don, the postman came With the parcel. I was at work and I couldn't wait to get home and try out the bracket, It works a treat (Nice bit of kit)
Thanks again Don. The first three photo's show the bracket in use and the last photo is the result. Sorry about the quality of the photo's, but as I was modeling the SB-800 flash unit I couldn't use it to take the photo's

Glad you like it Lello, it was a pleasure to be of help.

So I must have missed your lens purchase somewhere along the line.

A novel flash attatchment you have there too.

Hi Don
The lens was a little present to my self (sigma 150MM macro)http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/s...&cat=38&page=1
to keep me going unit I get my longer reach lens, I have a Budget of about £700 and I still don't know what to get. Nikon 80-400mm (I have heard bad reviews) I am also looking at a Sigma 100-300mm with a 1.4x converter
http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/s...hp?product=103
The Sigma does look like a good buy. But enough of my lens issue,
Can't wait to find some bugs to shot with latest equipment (thanks to you)

It was around this time last year as I recall just after the clocks went back.

Still in use now, except not thown in a box with other flash nik-naks. Its on our dining room window sill placed like an ornament.

I don't think it needs degrading by engraving Nikon - Hoey will do just fine
