SB-900 flash face size?

[Munchkinn]

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the SB-900 flash face i.e. where the light comes out, not the overall size of the flash? Any help gratefully received! I have searched but not found this info, thanks

38mm x 70mm - or about 10mm wider than an SB800 which is (wait for it...) 36mm x 60mm...lol

Thanks very much Arkady! Very helpful!

Just curious, why do you wish to know this ?

Making a home-made soft-box perhaps? Would need the external dimensions for that though...hmmm...interesting...

Home made gells. Though if this was the case, he/she could measure the size himself. Plus a 900 comes with some gells in the box.

intreagued too

a lightsphere type device that fits the head tightly, but has to pick which one to go for out of the options and doesnt trust the site to be right. (obviously while in a different location to his flash):shrug:

Hehe, nothing mysterious. I just wanted to know so I could work out how much Correx (corrugated black plastic) would be needed to make a couple of DIY grid spots as per strobist.com. I bought some and plan to sell the rest on fleabay, as it was only available in larger quantities. I only have an SB-600 and SB-28 which are smaller....
