Thinking of buying a Beauty Dish for a shoot I have coming up (the studio I am using doesnt own one). I dont do alot of studio work and I dont own any lights (at the moment) besides 2 580's so I was hoping there was a way to mount my 580 into the bowen mount and use the dish effectively, when Im not at the studio. It would also make a pretty decent wireless portable lighting system if it worked (using the st-e2).
Does anyone have any experience with this kind of stuff, I realise its must be a super common question and there would be some pretty decent adapter/brackets out there, but I havent had any luck finding any.
I'm not sure how all dishes mount, but if you can find one with an interchangeable speedring Chimera makes a speed ring just for speedlights you can find on B&H or Photoflex makes this do-hickie. It's inelegant, but I've got one for the XS Softbox, it works fine. You could probably DIY a way to mount it on a dish with the strobe head sticking through the hole.
