Co-Co - a better view.

This is a better view inside the collection part of the co-co taken with my SLR this morning. As you can see, it is very messy. The glue covers a significant part of the collector. You can see just how dirty this actually is. The very fact that you can see the glue proves that it is altering the light temperature.


As a matter of performance, the ring flash with the glue on it, eats three stops of light. A light meter at 1 metre away from the flash registered f22 at full power. With the co-co fitted, I got f8 at that distance. So it confirmed what I knew; to use one of these things, you need a powerful flash pulse, or else you're going to have to give up ISO in order to rescue depth of field.

No word back yet from the seller, although I was expecting to hear something this morning. I'll keep you up to date.
