7. Optional extras

No guarantee is given for malfunctions and damage to the flash unit
caused by the use of accessories from other manufacturers!
• 20 mm wide-angle diffuser
(Item No. 000044217)
For full illumination in conjunction with lenses of 20 mm and up. The range
is reduced by the factor 1.4 due to the corresponding loss of light.
• Colour filter set 44-32
(Item No. 00004432A))
Consists of 4 colour filters to achieve special lighting effects, plus a clear fil-
ter to hold colour foils in any colour.
• Mecabounce 44-90
(Item No. 000044900)
A diffuser to achieve soft illumination in the simplest possible manner. The
effect is very impressive because the pictures are given a very soft atmos-
phere. Facial colours are rendered more naturally. However, loss of light
halves the maximum flash range.
• Bounce diffuser 54-23
(Item No. 000054236)
The soft directed light diminishes dense shadows.
