Nice I never saw them in these colours.

Where do you take them in Singapore?

Where are you setting the zoom on the A70? Did you have any problem with the lens blocking the flash? What is your working distance with this setup? I've been trying to use a G2 with a reversed 50mm and your results look MUCH better than what I have achieved...

A70 zoom = 3.8x still can see a bit of vignetting

See my setup at

Slave flash is mounted on customised bracket. Working distance is 4cm.

How come you got good images from your compact digital camera which is shuttler lag?
