Old Broncolor to Bowens s

[Leviathan40]

Ive been looking around for some adapters so i can use my existing modifiers with some old Broncolor heads, i think they are know as a ul fitting, probably wrong, they have a spring clip system of securing onto the front of the head, i need the bowens s type ( female) fitting on the other end so i can fit my softboxes etc onto them, anybody have a clue as to where sells them or what i should be looking for, many thanks.

I read somewhere that a similar situation was handled adequately by the maker!

The adaptors aren't difficult to find generally, but they're really only useful for softboxes, you can't use something like a beauty dish because the light won't be in the right place.

As Phil points out any adapter will cause the tube to be further back than it should so the results may not be ideal.

You can certainly buy speedring fittings for Broncolor UL (Chimera and no doubt others sell them) but I've never seen an adapter for reflectors, even finding a Bowens L to S adapter is pretty rare so I'd be surprised if you could find one for UL to s-fit.
