8. Illumination and Wide-Angle Diffuser

The wide-angle diffusor widens the horizontal lighting angle from 62° to 65°, and the vertical

lighting angle from 42° to 60°.

The wide-angle diffusor is intended for use with focal lengths of less than 35 mm (for 24 x 36

mm), and less than 75 mm (for 6 x 6 cm).

Mounting:

Slip the wide angel diffusor on the reflector and allow the two lateral catches to engage into the

reflector slots.

For removal, slightly lift the diffusor laterally and pull it off toward the front.

When the wide angle diffusor is used, there is a loss in light of one stop value. The guide num-

ber and maximum range for computer operating are then reduced to about 70% of the value for

use of flash without wide angle diffusor. With the wide angle diffusor used in the auto mode, the

mark „W“ on the aperture calculator dial indicates the maximum operating range. For aperture

settings, there is the mark „N“.

Shadows on the lower pictures edge are noticeable for exposure with short distance due to

parallaxe between the camera lens and flash unit reflector. This can be rectified by use of the

wide angle diffusor or bracket adapter 45-35 or 60-28.
