Is that because the longer lenses cast a flash shadow?
I plan to use it for shortish lenses - likely 85mm is the longest.

I found another thread about it:

Still don't know the dimensions tho.

With the short focal lenses, the LSII is OK and quite suitable, but if you try to use longer than 85mm then you have to watch it out.

The first order of LightsphereIIs (no, not an updated LightsphereII hehe :P) are here!

Cost works out to be exactly $60 if you're picking it up, or $60 + postage cost if you're not. Birddog114 has kindly offered to deal with the money and postage side of things given that I'm a bit busy this month, so please contact him at d70gear@d70users.com to arrange pickup/delivery.

I'm ordering the second lot now, please note that costs for the second order will probably be slightly higher due to AUD/USD fluctuations, will advise once it shows up on my bill. :)

Just a small update: Birddog114 is now in possession of LightsphereIIs for himself, Genji, gstark, Joolz, tsanglabs and fozzie; please contact him to arrange payment and delivery. The second shipment (MHD, BBJ, JordanP, cricketfan, robw25, Paul and Matt K.) has been ordered and my card charged, should work out to be roughly the same cost and should arrive early next week. :) Will try and do some testing tonight!

Not a problem.

I am very appreciative to you for ordering, together with sharing shipping cost from the USA, and to Birddog114 for dispatch. One :D chappy.
