eisen: any idea of its dimension?? thickness, diameter, etc..?? is there a standard on that?

the lens should fall in the center of the ring so radius would be lens to flash head

thickness would be based on the size of your flash head

Jason Lightphere v.2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got tired of waiting around for the Gary Fong Lightsphere II to be 'in stock' at B&H, and I've heard bad stories about people waiting for weeks for delivery. So I decided to fashion my own from a togo container that I ate some delicious Udon noodles out of.

$8.95 for noodles.
1 hour of work.
Some electrical tape.
Total cost: No idea. But definitely less than the $50 retail cost of the Gary Fong version (which probably works infinitely better).
