[Paul Iddon]

I have the Yongnuo twin flash YN24EX and I wondered if the Raynox 250 would attach to the unit?

Cheers m8 - I watched that when it came out before I had a twin flash - and that shows it can.

Now, my lens has a 62mm thread, and the flash fastening (see 2nd attached image) has to attach to a 67mm ring (no options on this because it is that size) so I have to use the 62-67mm step up to put the twinflash on the camera.

I can't see how I can get the Raynox to attach cos the Raynox has a 49mm attachment and I can't work out a way of doing it.

Thanks for the look-up to Stewart's video.

I am reading now it has a 49mm front thread - but I think I would have to step down from 62 to 49 to attach it to the lens and then step up from the front 49 to 67!

I have got 2 threads going (wider audience!)

Have a look at what I mean here m8 please?

I cannot adapt the Laowa 65mm Robin which is the lens I wanted. .... I think Laowa offer several lens mounts including a Canon EF so I'm still not understanding why a Metabones Adapter can't connect an EF mount lens (regardless of brand) to a m4/3 body. I remember looking at the option of a...
