Instructions for making a DSLR Mount for your Lomography Ringflash. I know this works for Canon cameras in the Rebel Series. I don’t have a Nikon to test it on but I imagine it’s close enough that either more or less mouse-pad padding would fill the gaps.

Things you’ll need:

TOOLS:
Scissors, hacksaw, drill, hands.

Equipment:
1. A ? inch thick piece of wood. Preferably 3 inches wide and at least one inch long. ( 3” x 3/4” x 1” )
2. A 1/8 inch thick piece of metal, preferably 1 inch wide or more. 6” long minimum.
3. An old Mouse pad that you can cut up.
4. A single bolt, 1.5 inches long, thread dimensions 1/4” -20 (preferably with wingnut at the end)
5. 2 nuts to go with above bolt
6. A single 2 inch wide washer to go with above bolt.

Total Cost for above: $12-15 at hardware store. $1 for bolts/nuts if you have the wood and metal already.
It’s fairly simple and adjustable for many cameras. You may cut the metal longer if you have a longer lens like 300mm L lens or some such. I cut multiple holes in the metal so I could mount it differently if needed.

I also marked off on mine where the ringflash sits based on the different lenses I own. I used a sharpie then put tape over the markings so they wouldn’t wear off.

I'm flying down to Buenos Aires on monday to attend the wedding of a good friend of mine. I used to live there in middle school/high school and I haven't been back in about 10 years. I appreciated the time spent there, but I don't have any good photos...yet.

I've been accumulating some lenses for the past year since I got my first DSLR and this is where I stand. I can shoot 12-24mm with the Tokina, 18-55mm with the canon kit lens, 50mm with the prime, and 70-200mm with the canon telephoto. I'd love to replace that kit lens with some higher quality glass, but that will have to wait.

I ran out today and got two 8Gb compact flash cards, putting me up to 18 Gb total, so I am as ready for my trip as my wallet currently allows.
