Needed to adapt my ring flash to my camera. Ring flash does not fit all cameras, so be sure to check it out, so you can order the right adapters when ordering the flash.

I have owned a Sigma ring flash and could not use it on any of my nikon lenses because it ships with 55mm ring. I ordered this adapter as suggested on sigma website. Works great on the 72mm lens opening of my nikkor dx 2.8-5.6 zoom lens 18-200mm. Problem is a strong vignetting on corners of photos. This was noticeable even when viewing scene through my nikon viewfinder. I realized that the adapter projects quite a bit out of the lenses. Unless you set zoom to minimum 30 -35 mm you cannot eliminate it. My fault for not investigating further, but maybe Sigma could design the adapter flange which holds the flash; it should project inside rather than outside the lens to allow full use of all zooms. The zoom function would be minimally affected since the handling barrel is quite extended on Nikon, Sigma and Tamron lenses. Bad design. Great ring flash.

Excellent quality and well made. Have been using this for another ring flash, the Metz MS 15-1, for over 2 years and the thread/paint does not wear at all. Unlike the adapter for Metz, this provides for a firmer grip and prevents accidental rotation of the ring flash.

it help me a lot, and its good price not goood as the original one which come with R!C! flash

The item is an adapter ring to allow mounting the Sigma Ring Flash on lenses with a 77mm filter thread. You screw it on and you are set to go.

Great item that does exactly what it's supposed to...it makes it possible to mount the ring flash on lenses with the corresponding diameter. It's easy breezy!

Works just as it said it would but costs way too much for such a simple little piece. JMHO
