Better BEamer

[Matthew Busby]

What is this device? I have seen some object that were attahced to the front of flahes. I think this is what the other post are calling an better beamer.

Where do you get one and how much are they.

Thanks

Matthew,

The Better Beamer is a fresnel lens that mounts in front of a flash to concertrate the light into a narrower beam. It is designed for 300mm and longer lenses. If you are using a 200mm lens on a 1.6x crop sensor, it will still work well.

I purchased mine from Birds As Art. http://www.birdsasart.com/accs.html#BEAMER
