I am looking at getting a Smartflash 200 head as I shoot mainly indoors. I already have two softboxes that I got from "flash in a pan" a few years ago that I use with some manual flash guns.

I understand the Smartflash uses a Bowens S-fit to fit to the back of the softbox, but I have no idea what connector I need to made the back of the softbox S-fit compatible. I did send "flash in a pan" a private message but I guess he is not around at the moment. Does anyone have any idea what I would need, or have I misunderstood what I need?

thanks

sorry, here it is:

have a look on the lencartas web site they have adaptors on there about £14.00
 
Sorry, I know this isn't much help but AFAIK this is just a fitting for a hotshoe flashgun. I don't know whether a S-fit adapter is available to fit it.

The bad news is that whenever an adapter is needed to fit a softbox (or whatever) to a flash head, you have to get the adapter from the softbox etc supplier, so that it fits the softbox - the flash head manufacturer isn't able to help with this.

The good news is that very similar softboxes are made by a range of different Chinese manufacturers and all the ones that I've personally seen have exactly the same fitting - so if you can find a similar softbox it will almost certainly have the same fitting and you should be able to get the adapter, if one is available, from whoever sells that softbox.
 
Thanks Garry for the reply, I suppose I will now hit Ebay and see what I can find.
